And ... Action! Film-Inspired Halloween Costumes

David Giesbrecht/Columbia Pictures

Julia Child

The celebrated Francophile chef, so memorably played by Meryl Streep in Julie & Julia, is the perfect costume for anyone who loves food (or talking in a funny voice). You could also go as modern-day blogger Julie, but where's the fun in that?

What You Need: Sensible skirt, pearls, cooking school badge, apron, rubber chicken. And brush up on your recipes -- you should be able to wax rhapsodic about boeuf bourguignon. Bon appetit!
