Ali G Costumes

This Halloween, be the funny man for a change. Ali G costumes are easy to find, simple to carry off and very flamboyant. Two of the commonest colors one get’s to see Ali G most often are yellow and red. This outrageous, pseudo-gangster look is a great way to put across a humorous flamboyant and personality. If you are a funny person by nature, this costume is your best bet for Halloween or for that matter for any costume party.

Ali G, one of the alter-egos of Sacha Baron Cohen, is also his most recognized around most parts of the world. His daring antics which include interviews with some very celebrated people across the globe (especially in the United Kingdom) have brought him fame. This self-proclaimed rapper’s audacious and uncannily hilarious interviews of celebrities and important people entertain people of all age groups. There couldn’t be a better tribute to this character and the man behind it than to become him this Halloween. Ali G, Borat and Bruno are all screen alter-egos of the same person, Sacha Baron Cohen, and all make for great Halloween ideas; but the most recognized is definitely Ali G.

Although Ali G is seen in red, white and green tracks in his movie, Ali G in da HOUSE and also during his interviews, the most commonly available Ali G Costumes are the yellow tracks. Finding yourself this can be relatively easy, as compared to getting other costumes. Any shiny yellow track suit (complemented with black borders, for best effect) can easily fit the part of the basic track. Preferably a PVC suit may be used to get the shine right. To make it more distinct or unique, you can always try and find a yellow or white track suit. The track must also have a hooded pullover jacket of the same color. There are other defining features of Ali G costumes which can complete your Ali G look. These include the rapper style skull cap of matching color. Sport a French beard for the day, or get a fake one if you think it’s too much of a pain- it should be easily available at any costume store. Don’t forget the signature sunglasses- a branded pair with UV protection is advisable. Any pair of Pitch Black or stark white shoes will do, but make sure they are shiny and garish. A few chains of different sizes around your neck and a few rings around your fingers, a showy watch or a bracelet and your look should be complete.

If there is one rule you must stick to when dressing like this funny rapper, it is gaudiness. The aim is to be showy and garish to such a degree as to make yourself stand out as best as possible. Look up a list of Ali G lingo which of course will not be necessary if you are an aficionado already. This should complement this costume and set you up as the fresh rapper that Ali G represents for the day.
