Looking for a super easy, super fabulous, super 2016 Halloween costume???? Well you can call off the search. I, and one kick-butt (willing) couple, are proud to present Michael Phelps, his fiancé Nicole and Boomer Phelps.
Gosh I love Halloween.
Here is what you are going to need:
Michael Phelps:
- swim cap
- goggles
- medals
- speedo
- towel
- abs (good luck with that)
- track suit if you want to skip the abs
Nicole
- shirt
- white pants
- wig (if you do not have brown hair)
- red, white and blue bracelets
- hoop earrings
Boomer
- baby doll (unless you have a real baby)
- white onesie
- navy track pants
- white duct tape (to wrap around the next item you need – the domes)
- styrofoam domes (Cover domes in tape, hot glue to each side of baby’s head. Do not do this on a real baby. You can either purchase white headphones and attach star stickers or purchase the real Boomer headphones here.)
- black ribbon (Band for headphones. Hot glue to the inside of each dome.)
- star stickers (To attach to headphones and baby wrap.)
- 1.5 yards of red stretchy fabric, cut in half lengthwise and attached by sewing or hot glue on one end of each piece together, making one lone length of fabric. (This is for the baby wrap. Learn how to tie wrap here. Attach white stars to front after wrapped. If using a real baby please use an actual -safe- baby wrap.)
Voile!
Of course it helps to have killer looks and personality like these two:
Game face. Nailed it.
Kelly is actually blonde. (A smoking’ hot one.) Can you believe how much she looks like Nicole??!!
What Olympic dreams are made of!
Lucky for me, Kelly and Adam brought along their wonderful children. Who also happen to have eager participation type attitudes. (My favorite kind of people.) I can’t get over these four. They are so awesome!
Family goals!
And of course we can’t forget Boomer…the most laid back baby I have ever photographed.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Adam, Kelly, Sofia and Sam! I knew you guys would rock this out but I had no idea you’d make my Halloween costume dreams come true!!!! Thank you for being so freaking fantastic! A million times THANK YOU!
