Need a last-minute Halloween costume idea? Dress up as soon-to-be-divorcée, Kim.

If three Vera Wang gowns and a $2 million Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring can't lay the foundation for a strong marriage, what can?

In case you haven't heard, Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from husband Kris Humphries, TMZ reports. And while poor Cupid has been dealt a nasty blow, the cynics amongst us can't help seeing a silver lining: last-minute Halloween costume idea!

A black Vera Wang gown might be hard to rustle up on short notice, but your Kim Kardashian Divorcée getup can make do with a black gown, preferably one with bridal details like bows and ruffles.

Next, arrange your hair (or long dark wig) into a sleek chignon, then make a quick dash into your nearest fabric store for a few yards of black tulle or similarly sheer material, which you will affix to the back of a cheap drugstore hairband to mimic Kardashian's wedding day hairpiece.

A Ring Pop or giant fake diamond ring will be an easy stand-in for Kardashian's bling. For your wedding day bouquet, hit the newsstand for a stack of gossip mags, most of which are sure to have countless photos of the reality star and her blink-and-you'll-miss-it hubby. Tear them out, fold the pages into accordion-style pleats (or practice your best origami skills), and secure a bunch with a piece of ribbon.

A (smudged and tear-streaked?) smokey eye and padded backside (Charmin in your Spanx? Desperate times call for desperate measures ... ) will also come in handy, and if you just happen to have two brunette pals to serve as bridesmaids, you're golden.

The final touch? Type up a mock divorce decree, print it out, and pin it to your dress, then scrawl "Newly Single—Call Me" in red letters. How else are you going to meet Hubby #3?
