Halloween will be here before you know it, so it's best to start preparing well in advance with your most creative gag wigs, fake blood, and face masks. In case you're stumped as to what you should wear for the ghoulish holiday, we've compiled 10 great celebrity costumes along with tips on how you can achieve the look on your own.

1. Firefighters:
Cute couple Mariah and Nick Cannon added a unique twist to the typical firefighter costume. The married duo sported fireman jackets and hats, with Mariah saucing up her version with a red bikini and Nick playing it cool in a white top and black pants. You can find several fireman options at CostumeCrave.com.

2. 1920s Flapper:
This costume is one of the easiest on the list to achieve. Simply buy a fringed black dress from a vintage store, or dig in your closet for something with lots of swing. Take a cue from Kim Kardashian and pile on layers of pearls and a bright red lipstick for that added pop.


3. OG Gangsta
Fellas, add a bit of comedy to your repertoire with this west coast inspired look. All you need is a buttoned up top, sagging jeans, and Converse sneakers. The great thing about this costume is you can find every element at home, down to the extra soft hair rollers. Borrow one of your dad's old flannel shirts, button it up to the top, then tie a bandana around your face. 4. Policeman & Vampire Woman
Seal and Heidi Klum are another couple who aren't short on imagination. Get dressed up in your police blues if you're a man, or pile on a high wig with dramatic makeup if you're a girl. Find a few ideas at RickysHalloween.com.


5. Wonder Woman
Bring the childhood cartoon character to life in a star spangle red, white, and blue outfit, accented by gold cuffs. Get one of your own at BuySuperHeroCostumes.com.


6. Roman Warrior
Channel ancient times in a gold breastplate, knee high boots, a kilt, and cape. This definitely not a homemade outfit, so check out www.costumezee.com for ideas.
7. Sexy Tiger or Pinup Girl
Some costumes leave little to the imagination. If you want to show off your sexier side like Rihanna and CoCo, slide on a body accentuating bustier or cut out bathing suit, along with fishnet stockings and stilettos. Feel free to a mask for mystery.


8. Spider or Cat Woman
Put a saucy twist on your favorite superheros in skin clinging themed costumes. Beyonce manages to still exude sexiness in this form fitting Spiderman outfit. If you're into girl power, opt for a sexy Catwoman costume instead. Find similar costumes at Annie's Costumes.


9.Cowboy or Pocahontas
If you're a guy who feels like channeling the Wild West like John Legend, pick out an all denim outfit with a cowboy hat, bandana, and large belt. Ladies, get your Pocahontas on in a suede fringed outfit with a feather headband.


10. Sassy Bumblebee
Go for sparse with a bra and bottom combination with red polka dots like Christina Milian, or cover it all up. Add an insect inspired headband and wings to complete the look.
