Iggy has been the name on everyone's lips lately -- no, literally, I can't stop spelling I-G-G-Y -- so this Iggy Azalea costume by Helen Phillips is a no-brainer.
Philips' first piece of advice? Don't be afraid to apply with a heavy hand; you are emulating a true diva, after all. Start by applying a bright blush, followed by a thin cat eye that extends past your brow. For a little more drama, apply a second "cat eye," floating above the first, using eye shadow in the crease of the eye lid.
Finally, apply a generous layer of hot pink lip stick, and, for extra believability, pencil on some of Azalea's signature moles! Gather your hair into a high pony tail, squeeze yourself into a pair of hot pants and Louboutins (knock-offs) and show the world why you're so fancy.
