Another popular Muppet costume is that of Miss Piggy. For a woman choosing to dress up as a Muppet character Miss Piggy would be the most popular female character to go for. So, to properly dress up in a Miss Piggy Muppet Costume you will first need to buy a red colored gown which women wear at fancy dinner parties. It has to be as shiny as possible.

You will also need to buy gloves which reach to your elbows. The gloves need to be white in color.

As far as facial makeup requires you to put a slight pink shade by applying a little bit of red or pink colored rouge around your cheeks.

You can also purchase a pig’s snout from any costume store near you. The snout is generally made in plastic and can be fastened over your nose by means of an elastic band which goes around the back of your head (and is concealed by your hair).

You also need to purchase a blonde or golden colored wig. The wig should be curly and no longer than shoulder length. For piggy’s ears, you can get one of those hair bands with attached plastic pig ears. Make sure that you conceal your real ears under your hair or the wig.

Other accessories include buying a white pearl necklace. You can buy one of these made of plastic from a store which sells trinkets and other jewelry. Buying one in plastic is much cheaper and economical too.

And as for the footwear, purchase a pair of fancy red colored heels to finish out your  Miss Piggy Muppet Costume. Finally, Miss Piggy also wore a small tiara too and if you wish you can purchase one too in a silver color to wear as a part of your ultimate Miss Piggy costume.

Let me tell you how my best friend dressed up as a Muppet last Halloween. She dressed up in a Miss Piggy costume – with a twist. Her outfit, which included the red gown, white gloves, white pearl necklace and red heels, were the same as described above.

But instead of buying the plastic snout and the ear hair band she decided to go for a creepier look since it was Halloween after all. She purchased a creepy, deformed pig mask which also included hair attached to it. The mask was made out of rubber and though it was slightly uncomfortable, the idea was very, very unique.

Her costume was not only well received, but also helped her bag the prize for the best costume at the party that we went to.

So now you too can choose to dress up as any of the Muppet characters, that is, Kermit the frog (preferable for men) or Miss Piggy (preferable for women), Animal, Fozzie Bear or any of the others. It’s up to you. Have fun!

You have a lot of options if you choose to dress up in any Muppets costume for Halloween. Dressing up as a Muppet requires absolutely no makeup at all and mostly involves wearing a suitable outfit and purchasing the remaining things such as masks, gloves, etc.

The most popular Muppet is Kermit the Frog. To dress up as Kermit, your outfit includes wearing a suit. You can wear a white shirt and black pants.

Wear a black colored blazer on top of the shirt. Make sure the blazer and the pants are shiny and glossy. Not only does the shiny look add to the overall appearance of Kermit , but also grabs attention from the people around you.

Next is to purchase a Kermit mask. The mask is easily available at any  toys store or a costume store. The mask can be of two types. One is the rubber mask and the other is the cloth mask.

In most cases, say werewolf masks or other masks, the rubber mask usually gives a more real look but this might not be the case if you are buying a Kermit mask. The cloth mask might be most appropriate but you can always choose from what is easily available too.

You will need a bow tie around your neck too. The bow tie has to be green in color. You will also have to wear gloves on your hands. The gloves have to be green again but if you can’t find green gloves you can always use green makeup.

As for the footwear, you can buy a green pair of flippers. Flippers are the things that scuba divers wear on their feet while diving. Flippers can be expensive and uneasy to wear for a longer time and so you can also opt to go for a black pair of office shoes.

And one last thing – if you want to dress your toddler up in a matching costume you can do that now too. There are even Kermit the Frog Toddler Costumes available.

Now you can dress up as adult Kermit and your baby can be your little Kermit the Frog tadpole. Talk about cute! And you’d certainly be the best dressed amphibians at the party too – I’ll bet you’d probably even win the award for best costumes.

And there you go – that’s all you need to do to dress in a Kermit the frog Muppet costume this Halloween – you or your baby. Have fun and happy trick or treating!

Looking for a Muppets Animal Costume? I would choose Animal as my Muppet character if I were to wear a Muppet Halloween costume this year because he is my favorite Muppets character.

He is the most fun, exciting and wild of all the Muppet characters. Not to mention he is as cute as can be – so I want a Muppets Animal Costume for Halloween.

Here are a few tips if I were to make my own Animal Muppets  Costume. First I would sew a tight fitting cap from plain white cotton material that I could tie under my neck. Then I would cut long pieces of orange and pink yarn, about ten or eleven inches long and sew them to the cap to imitate animal’s long crazy hair. I would also cut out a strip of the same cotton material about four inches by one inch in size and sew yarn approximately two inches long to it and use costume paste to glue it above my top lip for added facial hair.

Many items for a Muppets Animal Costume can be purchased from a costume store too if you wanted to do this. Big bushy black eyebrows could be purchased and pasted in place with costume glue. Vampire teeth would be perfect to create the illusion of that awesome under bite that animal so proudly sports by using the top of the vampire teeth on my bottom teeth. You could even purchase a Muppets Animal mask if you wanted and ignore all of these steps!

A pair of bulging eyes eye glasses from a gag shop would give this Animal halloween costume that authentic Muppets look and a simple, big, red clown nose made from a sponge would make a perfect match for Animal’s big, bulbous nose.

For clothing, an old black t-shirt with a heavy metal band from about 20 years ago, cut off at the waist and a pair of jeans, shredded all over and at the ankles too. I would also add a few holes here and there in the shirt and jeans and of course, my Animal Muppet outfit wouldn’t be complete without animal’s signature rope belt around the waist of his pants. This could be picked up at any local hardware or home store.

I would also color my arms, legs, mid-section, and any part of my face that wasn’t covered with orange body paint or a dried drink mix, like kool-aid. Now Kool-aid is cheaper and easier to find than body paint, but it is also much harder to remove. To use kool-aid, I would simply moisten the dry mix and rub it on my skin with a soft cloth or sponge. Otherwise follow the directions on the makeup you buy.

I would then add a large spiked dog collar around the neck with a broken chain about one and a half foot long hanging down the front of the shirt. A couple of black leather studded bracelets and maybe one around the ankle would add a nice touch to my Muppet Animal costume.

Animal is always barefoot, so a couple pieces of yarn, about one inch strands of dark yarn, would be an awesome addition glued to each big toe with costume glue and maybe even on a couple of fingers. Then to top it all off, I would add a couple of drumsticks or maybe even an inflatable bongo drum to carry around for the evening, and my Muppets Animal costume would be complete!

“AN-I-MAL, AN-I-MAL, AN-I-MAL!  …PLAY-DRUMS! AGGGHHHHH!”
