Lafayette Celebrity Halloween Costumes

Gordon McKernan

At this point, Gordon deserves an award for his billboards alone, or whoever is on his marketing team does because they always grab our attention when we are sitting in traffic. It would be hilarious to dress up as one of his famous billboards.

Avacado costume
Poster board- cut holes and tie string through them so you can wear it around your neck
Hair gel-Gordon never has a hair out of place

Sharron Moss

Sharon Moss Facebook

At Moss, You're the Boss! Sharon Moss is a Lafayette fashion icon. She is always dressed to the nines. Dressing up as Sharon would be the perfect excuse to get all dolled up for Halloween.

Your Best Dress
High Heels
Sparkly Earrings- the more glam the better
Black short wig

Rob Perillo

KATC Website

The man Acadiana trusts more than anyone else during hurricane season. Rob has an especially good sense of humor and we think he would be up for the challenge of 'Who wore it better?'.

Force your date to dress as a weather map
Bald cap, unless you are already blessed in this department
Suit and tie
Glasses

Gerald Gruenig

Gerald Gruenig Facebook

Yeah, Baby! Gerald is easily one of the most loved locals in the community. Our only gripe is, that he is always making us hungry.

White T-shirt- Write "Yeah, Baby!" on it
Sunglasses
Baseball hat
Fake Beard
Carry a box of canes as your prop

The man who needs no introduction is Wayne Toups. Chances are someone in your family or maybe your neighbor down the road has an old according lying around that is essential for really selling this one.

Straw Hat
Colorful button down
Fake Grey Beard
Carry around an accordion- OK fine, we realize that might get old quickly. Print out a photo of one and carry it or tape it to your shirt.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
