Hairspray Halloween Costumes
Who's Who Behind the 'Do?
For anyone who wanted something bigger, there comes a time to break all the rules!
The 2007 musical movie with heart and soul.

It's the 1960's, mama!
Local Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad sets out to secure a spot on the local teen dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and prove she's big and beautiful! Along the way she overcomes adversity, fights segregation, and falls in love with teen heartthrob, Link Larkin!
Based on the 1988 feature film and Broadway musical, the 2007 version features the likes of Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, John Travolta, Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher Walken. A hit with teens and parents, the film has introduced a whole new generation to beloved characters and proven that big is beautiful!
Now you can be your favorite Hairspray character for Halloween! Who will you choose?
The Official Hairspray Trailer
Who is Tracy Turnblad?
"I don't want to be a laundress. I want to be famous!"
A pleasantly plump bundle of joy, whose unwavering cheerfulness and big-heart garner her friends where ever she goes, Tracy sets out to make her dreams come true: be on the Corney Collins council and integrate the show and fall in love with Link Larkin.
Go as Tracy Turnblad!
Big, Brunette, and Beautiful!
Who is Penny Pingleton?
"I am now a checkerboard chick!"

Penny is Tracy's best friend in the world, a shy but bubbly girl who opens up when she meets Seaweed and falls in love. Putting up with her mother's strict ideas and values, she learns she can make her own path in the world and prove that love is color-blind.
Who is Link Larkin?
"I think knowing you is the start of a pretty big adventure."

Link is the teen heart-throb of the Corney Collins council and a real smooth cat. After realizing his girlfriend Amber isn't all she's cracked up to be, Link befriends Tracy and falls for the vivacious and bubbly big-hearted girl.
Who is Mrs Edna Turnblad?
"Would you keep that racket down? I'm trying to iron, here!"
Tracy's agoraphobic laundress mother is a big-hearted gal who loves her husband and daughter deeply. She may not understand her daughter's ways but she lovingly supports her and along the way learns she's just as capable as Tracy.
Go as Edna Turnblad!
Tracy's hip mother!
Who is Motormouth Maybelle Stubbs?
"Well, love is a gift, a lot of people don't remember that."
Baltimore's own local R&B radio DJ Motormouth Maybelle Stubbs is also mother to Seaweed and Little Inez. She helps head the fight for integration and is known for her fast-talking insight into life's little problems.
