# Fanciful Rapper Costumes This Iggy Azalea Costume Will Have Everyone Screaming I-G-G-Y By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-10-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iggy-azalea-costume References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2014/10/76644/halloween-makeup-ideas) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-starr) by Helen Phillips is a no-brainer. [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-airfryer-5000-series-megabasket)' 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Celebrity-inspired Costumes:** There is a growing trend for people to dress up as their favorite celebrities, providing opportunities for costume designers and retailers to create unique and trendy outfits. - **Makeup Transformations:** The popularity of celebrity-inspired makeup looks, like Iggy Azalea's, is driving a trend for dramatic and bold makeup styles, creating opportunities for makeup artists and brands to create innovative products. - **Signature Fashion Statements:** Fans are increasingly interested in recreating the signature fashion looks of their favorite celebrities, leading to a demand for fashion designers and retailers to create affordable versions of these iconic outfits. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Costume Design:** The demand for celebrity-inspired costumes presents an opportunity for the costume design industry to create unique and high-quality outfits that cater to different tastes and preferences. - **Makeup Industry:** The trend of makeup transformations offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the makeup industry to develop new products and techniques that allow users to easily recreate celebrity-inspired looks. - **Fashion Retail:** The interest in recreating signature fashion statements opens up opportunities for the fashion retail industry to produce affordable versions of famous outfits, making them accessible to a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Macaroni-Inspired Halloween Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-bold-to-the-bone-costume.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Collectible Rapper Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-spice.md) - [Life-Sized Clog Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-costume.md) - [Hip Hop Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-fly-and-fabulous.md) - [Singer-Made Beauty Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gwen-stefanis-ipsy-box.md) - [Fur-Adorned Celebrity Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doja-cat-1.md) - [Exclusive Candy Bar Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-x-butterfinger.md) - [Toaster Pastry Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-mascot-costume.md)
