I think we can all agree that one of the best days of our collective lives was when Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé dropped the “Feeling Myself” music video that they filmed at Coachella.

With their epic hair, makeup and costume changes, my first thought when I watched the video was THIS HAS TO BE MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME. In this tutorial, Anj and I are channeling their fierceness into the best “couple’s” costume you’ll see this year.

VMAs Beyoncé and Maggie was Nicki from the “Anaconda” video. With makeup help from Miss Misty, Anj and I turned into these fierce stars for the day — keep reading for the full tutorial. You are going to want to grab your BFF for this one.

The first step in becoming Nicki Minaj is to draw girly accessories onto the white leo. Pull up a picture of her actual leo for inspiration. Make sure you take it slow — break down each object into basic shapes instead of trying to draw the whole object at once.

Once you have covered the leo in all things girly, color in each object. Outline the shapes in black to make them really stand out.

We picked up a large sized jersey from a local shop here in San Francisco. It was the perfect length for me to turn into a leo but the sides were way to big.

Turn the leo inside out and slip it onto your body. Pin the sides in to make it snug. Once pinned, sew down both sides.

Time to turn this jersey into a leotard. The key to this alteration is putting it on your body and altering after each step.

To begin, slide the jersey on and mark where it hits your hips. Have someone help you draw lines where it will run across your upper thigh and around your butt cheeks. These lines should end about two inches from the end of the fabric.

Then draw a two-inch line perpendicular to the hem of the jersey. This area will be the tab that will connect both ends of the leo together.
