Finding the Star in the Slobber

The Hottest Looks

Sure, everyone wants to dress up their pet for Halloween. But sometimes they demand an outfit that's au courant. We're here to give your dog or cat a Tinseltown shine that will earn them the love, respect and mouth-frothing envy of those other four-legged nobodies. For example, here's Kirstin Dunst from 'Bring It On.'

Pimp Your Pet

Rock the Party

At first, some might look at this ensem and scream "Elvis!" Remember to your roll eyes and sigh: "That would be Jack Black at the VMAs, thank you."

Versatility Is Key

Some costumes are so versatile they can really be more than one person. If another pet appears at the dog park dressed up as that 'Desperate Housewife' Marcia Cross, merely wriggle your nose and respond: "It's old-school Claire Danes -- are you blind?"

Consider the Classics

Perhaps you fear these crisp references will be lost on the other mutts. If so, consider a retro reference such as Michael Jackson's scarecrow from 'The Wiz,' when his muzzle was fully intact.

Shooting Star

You can even go with a costume that inspires awe for the animal that would dare attempt the role, such as Ed Harris' heroic personification of John Glenn from the 'The Right Stuff.'

Oscar Worthy

No amount of drool should keep your boxer from looking as classy as Goodfella Paul Sorvino on Oscar night.

Here Comes the Braxton

Just in case the ladies want to get in on the uptown flair, there's always R&B chanteuse Toni Braxton on her wedding day. (OK, honestly, it's really the only photo we could find of a star with a wedding veil.)

One for the Kids

But if you fear that might be too stodgy for your party pooch, rest assured that the kids will love the whimsy of this Carrot Top creation.

Up for the Downstroke

For those hounds that want to make a statement, there's number No. 1 funkateer Bootsy Collins.

Reality Nibbles

Even your cat can get wrapped up in the magic of that day of mystery with this fetching collar that suggests the beloved and convicted shoplifter, Winona Rider.

Hallelujah

Finally, there are plenty of Hollywood stars you might be able to suggest for this blessed yarmulke and tallis combo, but that would be offensive. Besides, Pup Shalom should only be used on religious occasions.
