  Many people emulate famous pop stars by dressing up to look like them. Whether you want a costume for Halloween or you are going to be performing a skit or attending a costume party, you can make your own costume with a little bit of creativity. Although costume stores carry the most popular pop star costumes, such as Elvis Presley, often you can find items around the house to put together a homemade pop star costume.
  
  

Harajuku Girl

• Portray a Harajuku Girl like a Gwen Stefani backup dancer. Put your hair in pigtails high up on your head. Put crazy colored streaks in your hair and add bows and funky objects to it. Put on a brightly colored tutu with funky leggings and add layers of colorful mismatched tops.
  
  

Michael Jackson

• Pay tribute to the beloved King of Pop by wearing a Michael Jackson costume. Put together a homemade costume with a pair of white socks, short black pants, a black fedora hat and cool-looking sunglasses. Add a black wig, plenty of white face makeup, one white glove, and a black jacket. Add a gold belt around a short black jacket. Wear a black breathing mask across your mouth and nose.
  
  

Lady Gaga

• Make a fancy Lady Gaga costume yourself. Choose a bright-colored body suit and wear nylon pantyhose underneath. Borrow or buy a long, light blond wig. Wear black gloves with no fingers and wear lots of big costume rings on both hands. Use shimmery cream eye shadow to draw a lightning bolt on your cheek. Add a big bow to the top of your wig and paint your nails a dark color. To top off the look, wear a pair of sunglasses that have GA written on each lens.
