Popular movie characters provide iconic costume ideas. For example, a Sandy costume from Grease needs a blonde wig with a shoulder length 1950s hair style and poodle skirt, or "wild" Sandy with red lipstick, black spandex and big frizzy blonde wig. For a male movie character, Brad Pitt in "Troy" plays the iconic character of Achilles with a costume made of leather armor and a curly braided blonde mane, cropped to the shoulders. Other ideas are Phillip Seymour Hoffman in "Capote," where he has slicked bright blonde hair and black frame glasses. Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde" is another costume to recreate with long, styled blonde hair, pink skirt suit and a chihuahua friend.
Billy Idol is a classic '80s icon with a leather-studded jacket, bright bleached-blonde hair and plenty of makeup. For a female singer, Britney Spears has many outfits from popular music videos, such as her school girl look in "... Baby One More Time." Debbie Harry from the band Blondie needs lace leggings, black leather heels, a fluffy blonde wing and red lipstick. For a radical look, Lady Gaga has multiple costumes with eye makeup, funky dresses made of meat and bubbles and all sorts of hair styles in different shades of blonde.
Popular cartoon characters often have blonde hair, as well as easy-to-recognize looks. For instance, Disney characters and princesses such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Tinkerbell each have blonde hair in different styles with dresses and various accessories, such as wings and scepters. Disney male cartoon characters with blonde hair include Hercules and John Smith from "Pocahontas," which is a choice for a couple's costume if the woman dresses as Pocahontas. Johnny Bravo, an Elvis-type character in jeans and a black shirt, sports a high pompadour blonde hairdo.
From The Muppets, Miss Piggy is a recognized fictional character. A female pig with wide eyes, huge eyelashes and lots of blonde hair, her looks range from girly to sultry. Often she styles herself after famous actresses and singers, but as long as you have the snout, big lashes and pig ears with a long curly blonde wig, you'll have a Miss Piggy look. From 1989 to 1995, Nickelodeon aired a kids show called Eureeka's Castle, which featured a sorceress in training named Eureeka. In addition to horns, a starry cape and brightly colored blonde hair, Eureeka also had a moon scepter.
