    Who will you dress like for Halloween? Celebrity costumes are always a popular option, and if you're trick-or-treating or heading to a party with a partner, why not dress as a celebrity couple? This year's news is full of inspiration for celebrity couples you can dress as for Halloween.

    Prince William & Kate Middleton

    Since their royal April wedding, the world hasn't been able to take its eyes off of this cute young couple.

    Dress like Kate: you can opt for a classic wedding town, topped (of course!) with a tiara. Wear an imitation ring modeled on Kate's famous sapphire-and-diamonds sparkler, which famously belonged originally to William's late mother, Princess Diana. Or, choose a more casual Kate look by wearing a body-skimming, traditional dress. Nothing edgy here - this princess always looks appropriate! Style your hair in a long, flowing style. Brunette locks are a must.

    Dress like Prince William: if you're going for a wedding look, you'll need a bright red coat similar to the one William wore for his Westminster Abbey ceremony. Drape a sash across your chest, add dark pants, and you'll look like you just stepped out of the palace. For a more casual Will, wear a dark suit and tie (future kings never look too relaxed!).

    Russell Brand & Katy Perry

    Another popular option for couples is for pop diva Katy and hubby, actor Russell.

    Dress like Katy by donning her signature electric blue wig. Opt for a candy theme, in keeping with her "California Gurls" video, by wearing a dress covered with candy. You'll fit right in with the other trick-or-treaters!

    Funnyman Brand is easy to dress like; your main accessory with be a wild and wavy brunette wig. Brand often dresses in black, so don a black suit, with a shirt unbuttoned to reveal a hairy chest.

    Barack & Michelle Obama

    Sure, they're president and first lady, but that passes for celebrity here in the U.S. Dress like commander in chief Barack Obama by wearing a dark, tailored suit and traditional tie. Sport your hair in a crew cut, and carry a briefcase. As the leader of the free world, you have documents to carry!

    To dress like Mrs. O, it's all about the arms - biceps, that is. Choose a colorful, fitted dress that's sleeveless. For a humorous twist, you could carry a set of weights, or perhaps a bunch of broccoli or grapes to emphasize the first lady's penchant for healthy eating.

    Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

    Newlyweds Kim K and Kris are sure to be another popular celebrity couple for Halloween. Dress like Kim by wearing a glitzy, form-fitting dress (padded in all the right places to ensure maximum resemblance to the curvy Kardashian), and try raven-colored wavy hair extensions. Of course, you'll want to finish the look with some killer high-heels.

    To dress like Kris, you have several options. Go with an all-white suit like Kris wore for his wedding, sport a casual T-shirt and jeans that he's often photographed in, or opt for a dark-colored suit for an evening out - trick-or-treating!

    Eden and Makenzie from "Toddlers and Tiaras"

    For something different, why not get together with your best girlfriend and dress as famous foes Eden Wood and Makenzie from TLC's hit show "Toddlers and Tiaras"?

    Everyone will know you're Makenzie when you wear a frilly "cupcake dress" and style your hair in long, brunette ringlets. A must-have is Makenzie's signature comfort item: a ni-ni (aka a pacifier). You might also spout trademark phrases like "You're drivin' me crazy!" and "Ni-ni is a hard workin'lady!"

    Blonde Eden Wood is an easy look to pull off with a pretty pink or powder blue cupcake pageant dress and hair in an up-do. Wear white ankle socks and white Mary Jane shoes and practice singing "Cutie Patootie" as you skip out the door.
