Halloween costumes ripped from the headlines

1. Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin

The former congressman, he of the itchy sexting finger, came back into our lives in 2013, but this time he gave us a new online moniker to enjoy: Carlos Danger.

Dress like the city’s best-known non-power couple with CafePress T, $32.50 at amazon.com; boxers, $7.50 at gap.com; mask, $2.99 at Halloween Adventure, and socks, $7.20 at josbank.com. For Huma, use a cardigan, $59.90 at express.com; skirt, $484 at aliceandolivia.com (any colorful, jungle-print skirt will do); and heels, similar styles for $49.99 at zara.com.

2. Cronut

Summer 2013 will forever be known for the rise of the cronut, when eager pastry fans lined up for more than three hours each day for a chance to buy one of Dominique Ansel’s confectionery wonders. While the craze spurned many knockoffs, you can dress as your own version this year with a turtleneck, $32, and leggings, $28, both at americanapparel.net; socks, $11.25 at hotsox.com; and an inflatable inner tube, $22 at fredflare.com.

3. Miley Cyrus

The former Disney star unleashed the twerk heard ’round the world at August’s MTV Video Music Awards and set off controversy about everything from her booty-shaking moves to the appropriate use of tongue on national television.

Re-create her now-famous skankwear with this Baretard T-shirt, $24.99, and foam finger, $11.99, both at Halloween Adventure, 104 Fourth Ave.; leggings, $28 at americanapparel.net; creepers, $135 at drmartens.com, and necklace, $34 at bebe.com.

4. Cannibal Cop

“To protect and serve” took on a whole new meaning last spring when “Cannibal Cop” Gilberto Valle was convicted for a heinous plot to kidnap, cook and eat his wife and other women. He never actually ate anyone, so you can cook up your own outfit in good taste with an Officer costume, $49.99, and rubber severed limb, $8.99, both at Halloween Adventure, and shoes, $80 at aldoshoes.com.

5. Amanda Bynes

Before Miley took over our attention, the misadventures of another former teen star, Amanda Bynes, were all anyone was talking about. The bonkers brat with pierced cheeks threw a bong out a Midtown window, called the Obamas (and just about everyone else) ugly on Twitter and was just a general hot mess.

You can Bynes-ify yourself with this combo: jacket, $42, hoodie, $48, top, $28, and leggings, $28, all at americanapparel.net; Tkees sandals, $50 at singer22.com; wig, $20 at rickysnyc.com; Dana Buchman sunglasses, $21.99 at kohls.com; bag, similar styles for $278 at vincecamuto.com; stuffed dog, $12.13 at amazon.com.

6. Kim Kardashian

Pregnant Kim Kardashian appearing at the Metropolitan Museum’s punk exhibit opening gala in this dress from Mrs. Doubtfire’s closet was about the least punk thing since Johnny Ramone went Republican.

Make your own version of this getup without ripping apart your couch fabric by donning this vintage floral dress, $99 at artfullyurban.com; and heels, $79 at ninewest.com.

7. The Royal Baby

When the future, future king was finally born in July, all the baby-watching mania that gripped anglophiles might have made you wonder whether we ever really won our independence from Britain.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s baby will have plenty of time in the spotlight, but you can steal some royal limey-light yourself by hoisting this scepter, $11 at rickysnyc.com.

8. Dante de Blasio

It’s the ‘fro that made a mayor! Bill de Blasio’s son, Dante, took center stage in the mayoral campaign this summer, not only for his distinct hairstyle, but also for a campaign ad that helped tip the primary in his dad’s favor.

You can get the look of the likely next first son of the city with this simple outfit that includes a T, $29.50 at cafepress.com; jeans, $48 at levi.com; shoes, similar styles for $118 at kennethcole.com, and an afro wig, $20.55 at amazon.com.
