That's my costume! well, minus the cat. I think PETA would be up my a** if I brought a cat to some of the halloween parties I've been too (i.e., noise, smoke, crowds).
it's not too hard - you need a long solid black dress w/o sleeves and black heels. if you're in a sorority you most likely already have that and that's the main expense.
then round black sunglasses (i.e. Jackie Kennedy style), a cigarette holder, black elbow length gloves, and LOTS of costume jewelry. I have a some great necklaces from my grandmother - rhinestones and pearls - i just wear 5 or 6 necklaces at once so they all stack up. then put my hair up and i bobby pin a small pearl brooch in the front.
here's some pictures from one of those poster websites...scroll down and you can see some from the movie.

my roommate and her sister are going as butterflies. they bought those white wings that are sold for angel costumes, cut off the fluffy "feather" border, and painted them with glitter glue. then they made headbands and attached antennae w/pipe cleaners and little styrofoam balls covered w/more glitter. they're going to wear black pants, black halter tops, and lots of fun glittery makeup, really doing up the eyes. looks *really* cute.
