Jenni Rivera
Dressing up like Mexican legendary singer Jenni Rivera might just win you best costume. Aside from the mariachi dress, make sure to nail her long loose curls too!
Jennifer Lopez's Versace gown
If you're brave enough to replicate Jennifer Lopez's infamous deep plunge dress from the 2000 Grammy Awards, you better get ready to use a whole lot of double sided tape! FYI: We found an awesome replica on Etsy!
Celia Cruz
Imitating the iconic Cuban singer's look isn't as hard as you think. All you need is a colorful wig, dramatic makeup, and a gigantic smile!
Shakira
There's nothing like a good Shakira costume to get the party started. Screw the blonde hair and go all out with long red braids (via a wig you can braid!) like the ones she used to wear back in the day! I'd throw on a Middle-Eastern inspired belly belt too!
Selena
If you got the booty for it, dress up like Selena Quintanilla. A bedazzled bustier, big hoop earrings, and deep red lips are all you need.
Lupe Vélez
How cool would it be to dress like the famous "Mexican Spitfire?" If you don't have pencil thin brows, try covering them with concealer and then drawing them on with an eyebrow pencil. Throw on a short black wig with some red lipstick and you're good to go!
Frida Kahlo
Details are incredibly important if you're going to dress like the legendary Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. You MUST add colorful ribbons to your milk braids, wear long hanging earrings with bright red lipstick, and sport a uni-brow! Party City has one for 5 bucks!
