Do It Yourself Costume: How To Dress Like Sue Sylvester

If you want to dress up like a villain this year on Halloween, then consider going as the arch-enemy of Glee, the notorious Sue Sylvester.

Played to perfection by the hilarious Jane Lynch, Sue Sylvester has become one of the most loved and hated characters on television. And unlike our previous costume suggestions, Lady GaGa and Katy Perry, dressing up like her won’t require tons of effort.

All you need to look like Sue Sylvester this Halloween is a pair or track pants and a matching jacket, which you can pick up at virtually any sporting goods store. Sue usually wears red, but she has also worn blue and white. You can pick up track pants of any color at most American Apparel stores. To get the EXACT same outfit as Sue, head to the Adidas store.

For shoes, just throw on any pair or running or athletic shoes. If you do decide to dress like Sue Sylvester, then you’ll definitely have one of the most comfortable Halloween costumes this year.

To make your outfit complete, you should try and track down some simple props. Put a whistle or stopwatch around your neck, or head to the nearest 7/11 and buy a slushy. If you can, use a megaphone to blare insults at passing trick-or-treaters.

And to help get into character, I suggest reading over some of Sue’s all time greatest insults, that way you can be ready to fire them off once your in costume:

“I’m about to vomit down your back.”

“You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded, *that’s* hard!”

“I thought I smelled cookies from the tears of elves weeping that live in your hair.”

“You are about to board the Sue Sylvester Express. Destination: Horror!”

“You know, you just woke a sleeping giant. Prepare to be crushed!”

“I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat; and then on some dark cold night, I will steal away into your home, and punch you in the face.”

“First I was aroused, then furious.”

“So you like show tunes. It doesn’t mean you’re gay. It means you’re awful.

“I’m gonna donate this [hair] to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, so they can use it to plug the holes in their trailers.”

“I don’t trust a man with curly hair. I can’t help picturing small birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and I find it disgusting.”
