Dressing up as Britney Spears doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. In fact, the famous Justin Timberlake-Britney Spears double-denim look is a great couples costume and probably one of the easiest outfits to recreate. For Spears, simply shrug on a denim midi dress, or a strapless top and a skirt, and layer up the accessories. A denim bag will only accentuate the look while silver jewellery and that all-important Y2K style chain belt will take you on a time warp back to 2001.
For Timberlake, jeans, a denim blazer and a denim-clad cowboy hat (if you can find one) will see you steal the red carpet style. And let’s not forget about the vintage-looking butterfly pendant. In our opinion, this really is one of the best celebrity costumes around.
Red bodysuit Britney
Although Baby One More Time was Britney’s first and bestselling single, the Oops! I Did It Again red jumpsuit is arguably the most recognisable piece in pop culture. Plus, when it comes to Halloween costumes, it’s one of the easiest outfits to replicate – yet still creates quite a striking effect. While Spears went for full latex, which we can imagine was no easy feat to get on, plenty of shiny red-style catsuits have popped up on the high street, offering an option that’s much easier to move in. Or, to make getting dressed even easier, you can also recreate the look with red leather-look trousers and a figure-hugging top. Simply pair with chunky black boots and white eyeshadow, and you’ll be ready to dance in no time.

Longtime Britney fans are sure to remember her ringmaster era that came alongside her Circus album – you know, the one that featured Womanizer, If U Seek Amy and, unsurprisingly, Circus – and also acted as basis for her world tour of the same name. Taking to the stage in full costume, Spears opted for black sequinned short shorts, fishnet tights, knee-high boots and an all-important military-style jacket. Plus a playful whip completed the look, and it’s surprisingly easy to shop similar styles online.
