If you want to create a fun ladybug costume this year for Halloween, there are a few ideas which you can use to create the perfect ladybug look.

For ladybug Halloween costumes, begin with the base of the costume which would be a red outfit such as red jeans and a red long sleeved shirt, or for a dressier costume, wear red tights with a red skirt and shirt or a red dress. Color combinations of red and black can be mixed up in any way such as a red dress and black tights, or a red shirt, black skirt and red tights. If you can find a red dress or red shirt with black polka dots, that's an even closer way to resemble a lady bug. Red clothes with black polka dots can be hard to find, but if you can find a white article of clothing with black polka dots, red clothing dye can always be used to dye the white parts of the clothing red.

For a shoe choice for ladybug costumes, wear red stilettos or black patent leather stilettos. However if you will be doing a lot of walking around, red or black flats will work just as well. Another detail which should not be forgotten are the wings. Black insect wings can be bought at a celebration or halloween supply store and they can be dressed up to look more like a ladybug by sprinkling them with red glitter or gluing on red rhinestones. Also, most party supply stores sell white angel wings which can be dyed red with red clothing dye and black dots or black rhinestones can be glued on to look more like lady bug costume wings.

Don’t forget one of the most important details of a ladybug costume, and this is the antennae. Most celebration supply stores sell readymade antennae headbands. If they can't be found or you prefer to make your own, two black pipe cleaners can be glued to a black velvet headband, and spray painted foam balls can be stuck on to the end of the pipe cleaners to look like insect antennae.

Now there are two basic ways you can go with adult ladybug costumes. You can actually go any way you want with it but just to give you ideas to play with I will describe two different styles. The first is the cute style, which will emphasize the color and cuteness of the ladybug. So the body of the costume could be a puffy, slightly fuzzy slip-on one piece with a brown stomach and ladybug polka dots on the back. Find one that has extra arms attached to the sides to give you that extra insect touch and all you need is a black body suit and antennae that have fuzzy ends and the basic look is done. Add face paint, glitter and other accessories to fit your tastes.

The second template takes a few key detours that change the overall look of it. And the end result will be one very sexy ladybug costume. So you'll want to keep the black body suit and ditch everything else that went into the adorable costume, except maybe the face paint and glitter because with some eyelash curling and light eye shadow you can turn adorable into sexy. The main focus of this costume will be form fitting components with a ladybug look, so you may want to find a corset that matches the underbelly color of a ladybug and add a custom shell made of paper mâché or just buy an easy to assemble ladybug shell that fits your body type so you stay as close to form fitting as is possible. Now add solid black antennae and you've the basic sexy adult ladybug costume.
