Twilight Saga: Halloween Costume Guide

Halloween is a few weeks away — and so, you want to dress like your favorite character from The Twilight Saga. Here is Novel Novice Twilight’s Halloween Costume Guide.
Bella:
bella2Bella is no girly-girl, but any fan knows she has a few different looks.
The most common is her everyday wear: jeans, topped with t-shirts and flannel shirts, hoodies or jackets. Her usual footwear? A good pair of Chuck Taylor sneakers. We’ve also seen Bella dressed up. Her prom dress in Twilight was a knee-length, blue dress — layered with grey capri leggings and an embroidered cardigan sweater. In New Moon, she’s seen wearing a flocked green taffetta party dress for her birthday.
Hot Topic has just started selling Bella’s Birthday Party Dress — add a pair ofbella's party dress Chucks, and you’ll look just like Bella at her doomed birthday party in the New Moon movie. Hot Topic is also now selling Bella’s courderoy jacket and Bella’s Cullen crest ring (apparently, a prop replica from the movie).
NNT staffer Libby also wrote about Bella’s style at Suite 101:
Arguably, the best accessory might be Edward Cullen himself, but one of the hottest, must-have items from Twilight has been Bella’s stylish, wear-it-with-anything jacket. This versatile little number’s slim fit, pockets galore, roomy hood (perfect for the rainy Pacific Northwest!), and delightful blue shade allow Bella to blend splendidly with the Cullens’ cool palette.
To truly copy Bella’s overall Twilight look, keep clothes slim-fitting and latch onto layered tops, but don’t be afraid to get a little romantic with a whimsical piece of jewelry or boho blouse with floral embroidery. Laid-back and comfortable seems to be Bella’s demand, and even in the New Moon party scene she’s sporting a forest green dress with her typical boat shoes – showing that pairing dressy with casual is truly a look that never goes out of fashion. Bella trends: layered tops; headbands; mixing fancy with a little bit of grunge.
Bella’s hair is usually down — in loose waves. Sometimes she wears it with a headband, or pulled into a loose ponytail.
Edward:
edwardEdward’s look is all about pressed button-down shirts, tailored jeans or trousers, and stylish jackets — like that distinct grey peacoat from Twilight.
This year, Hot Topic is making it easy — having put together the entire Edward Cullen look, complete with grey peacoat.
Edward also wears his Cullen crest wristband in both movies, edward hot topicand Hot Topic is now selling an Edward Masen ring as an authentic movie prop for New Moon. We’re not sure yet how that figures into the movie … but we can’t wait to see. Can you?
If you really want to be authentic, you could even invest in some golden contact lenses (or red for bad vamps, or black for hungry vamps). Just be warned, custom contact lenses can get very pricey.
For the brave guy — slap on a little shimmer powder, for that authentic sparkly vampire look.
And of course, don’t forget those smexy Ray Ban sunglasses Edward sports in select scenes from the movie. Volvo accessory is optional.
The Cullen Ladies:
alice and the ladiesBeauty, grace and style: three words that describe the Cullen ladies. And with Alice around, they are sure to be wearing the height of fashion — but in muted tones and neutrals, as they don’t want to stand out too much. (They are incredibly beautiful vampires, after all.) Here are some tips to help you dress like your favorite Cullen gal …
Hot Topic has put together an outfit for Alice Cullen, or you could get creative and create your own look. Here’s what NNT’s Libby had to say in her article, “How to Dress Like the Ladies of Twilight:” alice hot topic
In Twilight, Alice was known for her bohemian, vintage looks with fitted vests, lace sweaters, and turquoise jewelry, all staying on the white and gray spectrum.
But she was definitely a style maven with her coveted Diane von Furstenberg Oleada chiffon dress selling out promptly. Who could resist that antique look, particularly paired with her dainty ballet flats and leggings? Rumor has it, New Moon will have Alice sporting even more high-end and polished fashion pieces. Glimpsing just a bit of her in the movie’s trailers, it’s a safe bet that gloves and scarves as head coverings might make a comeback in upcoming seasons. Alice trends: ballet flats; boho-chic dresses; never forgetting the importance of looking good.
You can also purchase Alice’s Cullen crest choker from Hot Topic.
Here are Libby’s tips for dressing like Rosalie: rosalie
One word can define Rosalie – icy. This super-sharp dresser rocked a curvy body in skinny jeans with her fitted blazer, long scarves, and sky-high heels. Perhaps she’s the one who really started this whole boyfriend jacket and scarf craze! The New Moon clips haven’t revealed much of Rosalie yet except for the party scene, but even that one little glimpse shows she’s not slacking in the style area. She’s looking lean and mean in that LBD (little black dress) that is without a doubt not off the rack. Rosalie trends: boyfriend jackets; designer heels; red lips with anything.
Here are tips for embodying Esme’s style:esme
Esme’s hemlines are just below the knee, her skirts are high-waisted and belted, and her blouses are high-collared and frilly.
It’s daytime glamour and nighttime elegance for this lady who sparkles even when not in the sunlight. And Esme also adds a pop of color to the blue-gray-black-white color palette of the Cullens – purple. Grab yourself something eggplant or amethyst this fall and you’ll fit right in. Esme trends: pencil skirts; peep-toe heels; knowing that showing just a little skin is the sexiest look.
TwilightPoison also has a guide to dressing like the ladies of Twilight from last year.
The Cullen Boys:
carlisleThe Cullens dress in lots of blues and greys, so look for those colors when putting together an outfit for Carlisle, Jasper or Emmett.
For Carlisle, you could top a button-down shirt and tie with a doctor’s lab coat — or go for a high-colored jacket or sweater and scarf. Peter Facinelli has said he wanted Carlisle to wear high-necked pieces as a sort of vampire security blanket — since his neck was bittne when he was turned. And remember, as the patriarch of the family — Carlisle will also be dressed the most conservatively. Look for classic, traditional pieces.emmett
Emmett is the sportiest of the Cullen men — but since he lives with Alice, he’s still going to be stylish. Emmett usually wears dark jeans and designer sneakers. Top it off with a well-fitted t-shirt or hoodie.
jasperThe most essential part of a look for Jasper is a pair of cowboy boots — as an ever-present tie to Jasper’s Southern roots. Jasper also tends to dress in layers. Start with tailored slacks, then add a button-down shirt, topped off with a v-neck sweater and a military-style jacket.
The Parenting Suite also has a guide to dressing like vampires, zombies and wizards — including tips on dressing like the vampires of New Moon:
Becoming a Twilight or New Moon Vampire like Edward or any of the rest of Cullen clan is likely to be the chosen vampire look for tweens and teens. Creating a vampire costume for Halloween is fairly simple.
  • Pick regular clothes to wear.
  • Find or purchase a set of vampire teeth.
  • Add white to very light face makeup to create a very pale complexion.
  • Add sparkles or body glitter for Edward’s look.
  • To really pull off the effect get black or golden contact lenses.
For a True Blood or Vampire Diaries look, add some fake blood.
Here’s another article for dressing like Twilight vampires, or check out last year’s guide for guys from TwilightPoison.
Jacob & the Wolf Pack:
jacob and the wolf packA key element to the Wolf Pack costume is their distinguished tattoo (as spotted in promotion photos & posters for the New Moon movie). But where can you get a temporary version? Well, you can create your own!
Start by saving our version of the tattoo (below) to your computer. Then print the image onto printable temporary tattoo paper. It’s as easy as that!
As for clothes, the wolves would wear a plain t-shirt or wife-beater (unless you’re brave enough to go shirtless) — or maybe snap up one of those Quileute baseball tees from Hot Topic, and some ripped/old jeans. And unless you want to go barefoot, lace up some ratty sneakers.

The Volturi:
volturiWant to really indulge the evil side of yourself this Halloween? Then consider cloaking yourself in the garb of the Volturi – there are plenty of characters from which to choose!
Guys (or daring ladies), go for Aro, and outfit yourself with a black, fitted suit with a buttoned-up black dress shirt underneath. A sleek black wig is also a must.
Gals, get back in black with smirking Jane and wear some demure Mary Janes with just a slight chunky heel, some tights, a dress (preferably brocade or velvet), and a cape – all in volturi crest necklaceblack. A proper bun or chignon (in your blonde wig if you’re not a natural) is a must. And don’t forget the blood red lipstick and smoky eye makeup!
If you’re going for one of the Volturi guard, a cloak is a must. Craft stores often offer patterns for a simple black cloak, or pick up a “generic” vampire costume and alter it to your needs.
Male or female, your skin must be pale white, so be liberal with the powder, and you could even let others know you’ve recently snacked with a few dabs of “blood” near your mouth.
A nice touch: see if you can round up an accessory that boldly displays the Volturi crest, be it a pendant, ring, or wristband (there might be something like that available come Halloween). You can buy the Volturi crest necklace at Hot Topic.
Extra points: get your hands on some blazing red contacts! They’re not cheap, but what a statement!
The Nomads:
victoria laurentSure, James met his gruesome end at the conclusion of Twilight (but really, he had it coming, didn’t he?) — but in New Moon, we still get to enjoy the other Nomadic vampires — Laurent and Victoria. Both have very distinct, and stylish looks — and their outfits can be pulled together easily with pieces from consignment shops or thrift stores.
You could embody the lethal beauty of Victoria, whose quest for revenge against Bella continues through New Moon and Eclipse. Libby has some ideas from her article about Twilight fashion:
You could say Victoria embodies the natural look, with her to-die-for curls and barely-there makeup, she is the original flower child… with a lot more leather than lace to her rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Victoria trends: necklace upon necklace; statement tees; not being the list bit shy about showing her own personal style.
For a really authentic look, style your hair in wild curls — then weave leaves into your hair, to embody the wild look Victoria has when she first emerges from the woods in Twilight.
For Laurent, start with dark jeans or slacks — then add a ruffled shirt, topped with a jacket or vest. And of course, those signature dreds! If you don’t have the hair — check local costume shops for a good wig.

"New Moon" Premiere Survival Guide!

You have November 20 circled on your calendar. You've read all the Twilight blogs. You've watched the trailers a bazillion times. But, still, you know that come New Moon premiere night, it's gonna be wolf-eat-wolf out there!
To make sure you have the ultimate Twi-experience (without getting torn apart), we came up with this handy step-by-step guide on how to prepare for the big day, which is just over a month away!
1. Get advance tickets! This is more for peace of mind. You don't want to be left out on the cold when every showing is sold out, do you? There are several sites you can go to NOW to get tix to screenings on November 20, including: movietickets.com, fandango.com and AMC Theaters. If they don't have them now, keep checking back on all three sites closer to the premiere date for screenings in your area. You'll probs need your parents' credit card, so start sucking up to them!

2. Have Your Premiere Team In Place! Um, hello? You don’t want to get stuck sitting in the front row, do you? ("Hey, I can see up RPattz's nose!") Make sure you've lined up which of your besties is going with you and what everyone's role is — seat saver, ticket retriever, candy getter, bathroom scouter, etc.! You'll probably need at least 4 peeps, but if you have less, divide up the duties. This is like strategizing for battle, only more intense!

3. Choose your clothes now! Better to get this out of the way then to hold everyone up while you apply glitter to your entire body in an effort at getting that Cullen effect. And, no, you don't HAVE to dress up like a character, but it's a good convo starter when you're waiting in line. Maybe you'll meet an Edward lookalike when you're dressed as Bella!

4. Tune out as much as possible! Yes, you know how this one's gonna end, if you've read the book. But you won't know HOW director Chris Weitz put all the pieces in place. So try to stay as spoiler-free about the movie as possible to maximize the Taylor shirtless viewing pleasure. The New Moon Illustrated Companion just came out, which has lots of behind-the-scenes info. Think you can avoid reading it until after November 20? It's called willpower, people!

5A. Drink lots of tea with honey! Why, you ask? Well, you're going to want to keep those pipes fresh and healthy, because you may be doing lots of screaming once you're sitting in that theater and the lights go down! But if you're not a screamer, you may want to consider...

5B. Buy earplugs! Telling people to "shhhh!!!" during the important parts? Not gonna work. That's why you may need one of these special filtered earplugs, which blocks out ambient noise (annoying girl next to you losing her mind during any Rob scene) while making sure you can still hear what's happening onscreen. Sure, they're a little more expensive than cotton balls, but your eardrums will thank you!

Alex Interview

Vanity Fair has an interview with Alex Meraz. He talks about the Twilight Movies and the Wolf Pack.
Read the entire interview here.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:

What was it like having to come together and bond as the Wolf Pack?

We were entirely new, and it was a lot easier. We relied on each other to get through everything. There was so much to learn, but it was organic. We spent a lot of time together at the gym, and that’s what helped. As far as the original cast from Twilight, they were really cool. We didn’t spend much time with them because all of our scenes were really just with the Wolf Pack. It was easy.

New Promo Pics for New Moon

1
Summit has posted a number of New Moon Promotional images on the official Twilight Twitter page. They have Victoria, Laurent and all the Volturi Vamps. Check them all out here. They are wallpapers.
I think Victoria just looks amazing in all the promotional pics for New Moon.

Kiowa Interview

1
Vanity Fair has an interview with Kiowa Gordon.
Read the entire interview here.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
Can you tell us a little bit about your Native American descent?
Kiowa Gordon: Our tribe is called the Hualapai, and we are in Northern Arizona. We sit on top of the Grand Canyon and used to live there [on the reservation] about ten years ago. We take frequent trips back.

New Moon is your first film. What was the casting process like?

They had an open casting call here in Phoenix, and I auditioned. I was going to
church with my mom out in Cave Creek, and Stephenie Meyer goes to church with her. She kind of helped me out on that one.

Did Stephenie suggest you?

Yes, she told production, I think, and got me some sides to do the audition.
I didn’t know about the Stephenie connection. Pretty cool!

Justin Interview

Ningin has an interview with Justin Chon. He talks the Twilight films and other stuff in his life.

Here is an excerpt from the interview:
JI: Speaking of America, New Moon will be premiering soon. How are you prepping yourself for the madness?

JI: You’re just going to walk in there and be cool?
JC: What’s there to prepare for? I’ll uh…get a suit. I’ll uh…get a suit and on the day of I’ll show up with [my publicist] Anthony and we’ll… watch the movie. I think that’s the best preparation I can do.

Jackson talks New Moon

1
MTV caught up with Jackson Rathbone on the set of his new movie Girlfriend. He talked all about New Moon.
Read the entire interview here.
Here is an excerpt:
Rathbone said he will only be in two scenes in the film. The first, as seen in the original trailer, involves him attacking Bella at her birthday party when she gets a paper cut. The second, he said, centers on a family vote to decide whether Bella gets turned into a vampire or not.

Dress like Jane

1
MTV’s Hollywood Crush has an article all about how to dress like Jane from the Volturi for Halloween. It’s part of their Dress Like A Movie Star Week.
Read all about how to dress like Jane here.
Here is an excerpt:
To recreate Jane’s gothic school girl outfit, start with a black-long sleeve dress. We like Pink Rose’s Long-Sleeve Empire-Waist Dress on sale for $29 at Macy’s. To protect yourself from the sun’s glimmer-inducing rays, tie on a hooded cape, like this short version by Rubies for $9. But what is a vampire without a few choice accessories? Payless’ American Eagle Cherish Mary Jane Flat for $23 are stylish enough to wear the other 364 days of the year, while Hot Topic’s Volturi Crest Necklace for $20 will really tie the entire ensemble together.
So anyone gonna dress like Jane this year for Halloween? Any of the other Twilight characters?
I’m not going anywhere to dress up this year which sucks. I love dressing up for Halloween. I love Halloween it’s my favorite Holiday. I decorated big time for Halloween. We did a graveyard and cute inflatables for the kids. Alright off topic here, LOL!!
What are you all dressing up as for Halloween!

Over the weekend, Dr. Cullen, or Peter Facinelli tweeted that the cast and crew is "coming down the home stretch" before production ends in about seven days! We can't believe it! But unfortunately, we do have to wait until June 2010 to see the sure-to-be-hit.
