No time to fuss with a full-on costume this year? No sweat. Just copy these over-the-top hair, makeup or nail looks seen on Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha and friends

Electric red hair color We bet the last time you thought about "Manic Panic" was when Nirvana's music videos dominated MTV, no? Well, we don't know about you, but Rihanna's look-at-me red hair color makes us wanna pick up a semi-permanent or temporary dye -- stat. If you're feeling it, try something like Manic Panic Gel Formula Semi-Permanent Hair Color, $8.95, or if you can't jump on board with that kind of temporary color commitment, just grab a red wig and call it a day.

I think I could do Katy Perry since I have her coloring.

i wear most of this randomly... why do i feel like as a fashion student nothing can phase me anymore?

Some of it's okay, some of it is just stupid!

i agree some of these are not necessarily edgy. but for my comfort level, they kinda are! and this is what celebrities wear on a daily basis! they get away with so much...

Some of these looks are a little too much even for Halloween, and some aren't really edgy/costumey at all (leopard print nail art isn't really that edgy...)
