Last weekend, on October 15, country icon Willie Nelson asked his Facebook fans if they had their Willie Nelson costumes ready for Halloween yet.

Hundreds of folks chimed in, posting photos of themselves dressed as the red-headed stranger from Halloweens past. In his post, Willie also linked to his online store, where he sells hand-braided Willie Nelson wigs for $14.99. If you're hoping to nab one for your Halloween costume this year, act fast! The faux braids quickly sold out after Willie posted about them on Facebook, though they've recently been restocked.
But just in case the online store sells out again, you can always look into this amazing crocheted Willie Nelson wig that's available on Etsy for $49.
Or, you can skip the Willie costume and take some inspiration from this little girl, and go as our other favorite country music icon, Dolly Parton. Country singer Emily Ann Roberts recently posted this video of her boyfriend's niece, 4-year-old Peyton Graham, wearing a homemade 'coat of many colors' while doing her best Dolly impression, guitar and all.
But, if you have a better half, we think the ultimate couple's costume for country music fans would be to channel both Dolly and Willie.
And hey, you can always recycle the costumes two days later, and wear 'em at your CMA Awards viewing party!
