This DIY Jennifer Lopez VMA Halloween Costume Will Help You Win All The Awards

1. A Gold Bodysuit

Evalent Jumpsuit ($25)

J.Lo is the type of performer who knows exactly what works for her. She may not be as experimental as Rihanna, but when she finds a style that works for her—like anything metallic and anything with a deep V-neckline, she sticks with it.

This gold bodysuit looks exactly like a piece Lopez would wear. And it’s similar enough to her VMAs performance bodysuit to get the point across. Made from a combination of polyester and spandex, you can expect it to be stretchy and comfortable. 

2. Sparkly Polka Dot Tights

Leg Avenue Women’s Sheer Pantyhose ($10)

How amazing were J.Lo’s sparkly polka dot tights that she wore under her gold bodysuit? Tights may not be as fashionable as a bare leg, but Lopez reminds us all of her dancer roots with sexy tights that resemble these nude and black polka dot tights just enough to do the trick.

3. A Faux Fur White Coat

Caracilia Faux Fur Coat ($40)

If you live in a place where it gets pretty cold come October, consider this your lucky year. This white faux fur coat is cozy, warm, elegant, and pretty much perfect for your J.Lo Halloween costume.

The price isn’t super cheap, but if you think of this as an actual investment as it is a chic coat cape you can repurpose and wear with jeans and boots. You might agree that it’s well worth the few extra dollars. Plus, it's still a lot more affordable than some store-bought costumes that you’ll wear once and never again! 

4. A Gigantic, Light-Up Fake Diamond Ring

A Night To Remember Diamond Ring Accessory ($5)

It’s rare for Jennifer Lopez to not be dripping in diamonds and jewels; this is one lady who loves her rings and bling things. And, in fact, J. Lo was apparently covered in thousands upon thousands of dollars in diamonds on the night of the VMA’s. The next best thing to wearing actual diamonds is poking fun at extravagance with this gigantic, light-up plastic “diamond” engagement ring, which stands out from a mile away.

5. A Long, Golden-Brown Wig

Newpeck Wig ($7)

If hair stylists had a quarter for every time someone walked in to ask for J. Lo’s exact shade of golden-brown hair, they’d all be able to close shop and never work a day in their lives again. Lopez’s gorgeous hair is a trademark and has remained pretty consistent for the past 20 years. 

Unless you are one of those lucky folks with J.Lo hair making your hair stylist rich, you’ll need a wig like this to nail her signature look.
