The beauty elements are as essential to this facade as the finery you'll wear beneath! Load on that eyeliner like there's no tomorrow, and be sure to apply heavy blue or green shadow all the way up to your brow. We dig the wig that we found for crazy cheap, but this headpiece could work with some of our tried-and-tested temporary black hairspray, too. Since the look is all about luxe, we suggest investing in pieces that you know you'll wear again (hello, rose-gold Dolce Vita gladiators!).
