First thing’s first: Impersonation is NOT about the costume, but neither is it as hard as it seems; you just need to pay attention. As I mentioned when listing our 5 Easiest Celebrities to Impersonate, of course it’s important to sustain a physical resemblance to the person you are portraying, but the heart of the matter is not based on looks; it’s all about the attitude. What you need to understand is that each celebrity (each person, really) has that one thing that is truly theirs, you just need to pay attention in order to pick it up. Personality is a tough thing to deconstruct, given that each individual encases a whole universe, so we’re here to make it easy for you.

Every celebrity on our list has a special trademark, a personal feature that symbolizes them, and we’ll tell you what it is.  Some are childish, some are classy, some are friendly, and some are nasty, but they’re all 100% identifiable, so if you’re curious to know who’d be the best fit for you, just keep reading!

10. Sofía Vergara

Unlike other South American actors, who speak impeccable English, it’s almost like Sofía exacerbates her accent to the point it becomes cartoonish, which makes her one of the 10 easiest female celebrities to impersonate. Paired with her loud and somewhat annoying voice, her whole “Listen, Papi!” manner of speaking has become identifiable from a mile away. However, that’s not all that is loud; her sassy attitude is just as noteworthy. All combined makes for an unavoidable package, so check out our tips for impersonating Sofía Vergara:

Be LOUD in every aspect possible, exaggerate all your gestures and poses, make a rampant “Latina” accent, and remember to wear tons of make-up. Also, she’s said to be someone who complains a lot, but still always has a smile on her face always, so you’ll need to find a balance between whining and laughing, but whatever you do, don’t forget to be charming.

9. Cara Delevingne

If you wish to depict 24-year-old top model/actress Cara Delevingne you’ll have to dig deeper into those thick, brown eyebrows and find out what they’re hiding. As young as 20, Cara was already a youth and fashion icon; however, she became worldly renowned by distancing herself from the posh, phony, high fashion model attitude, and adopting instead a comical, amusing one. Here’s what you need to account for in order to make a proper Cara impression:

Pretend your face is made out of silly putty and just adopt the most contorted expression you can achieve. While wiggling around those bushy eyebrows (which you’ll probably need to enhance somehow) have each eye look in a different direction and take out your tongue. It’ll take some practice, but you’ll get there.

 

8. Taylor Swift

Since she has worked hard to focus the spotlight on her easy-going, cheerful, “everyone’s BFF” attitude, probably the most popular term used to describe Taylor Swift would be “fun”.  However, she’s also famous for being a very legal-oriented celebrity, since she is known for being one of the artists who doesn’t allow her music to play for free, and have trademarked their catchphrases and lyrics. Actually, it is amazing to me that we can use Taylor’s name at all without having to pay her rights. Still, she makes for a great portrait, so here’s some advice on imitating Taylor:

It is common knowledge that she enjoys playing dress up with her friends and entourage, and carelessly dancing in a silly manner in her videos and shows, so you should definitely take some time to look at those, in order to capture her “always having fun!” attitude. Also, you must learn her trademark phrases, such as: “this sick beat”, “party like it’s 1989”, and of course “Nice to meet you, where you been?” However, pray she doesn’t hear you, otherwise, you might be looking at one very expensive lawsuit.

7. Nicki Minaj

Caribbean born Nicki ranks 7th in our list of easiest female celebrities to impersonate. She is undeniably one of the most extravagant and attention-drawing pop stars ever. Besides being known for having an overwhelmingly large badonkadonk (the result of plastic surgery) and all-around outrageous looks, she is also regarded as a talented rapper. When singing, as well as dressing, she displays a chameleon-like ability to adopt several alter egos, mixing them into one colorful and baffling combo. Here’s what you need to learn in order to impersonate Nicki:

Her multiple egos possess characteristic voices, which are all very different. Sometimes she speaks with a high-pitched fairy voice, which she’ll abruptly bend into a low-key amazon-like roar, one of her alter egos is British even, and has a very deep laughter. If you want to nail the Nicki Minaj impersonation, you have to be able to adopt different personalities, with different voices, in the blink of an eye, so this might be the only situation where going off your medication might be a good idea (I’m kidding, don’t do that). Also, use the phrase “stupid hoe” as much as you can, which is certainly typical of Nicki.

6. Drew Barrymore

We’ve known Drew, the number 6 in our list of easiest female celebrities to impersonate for decades now, we’ve seen her rise, fall, and rise again; she’s like a distant cousin, whom we love for who she is. Being a strong and empowered woman, she’ll always give it to you straight (in her rough, sexy voice); however, she’s not to be messed with, if so she’d probably become the sweetest person to ever kick your butt. Many have tried to capture her easygoingness, but her amiably tough look is not uncomplicated, you need to look very closely at her facial expressions. Lucky for you, we’ve already done all the looking, and here’s what we have to say:

Maybe in all these years of watching her movies you’ve noticed this absolute Barrymore trademark: she has a lopsided smile and often talks out of the side of her mouth. She’s actually admitted to this and even had to learn not to do it in order to get a role. It is this special feature that has earned her a place among the easiest female celebrities to impersonate and has made her so perfect for dramatic comedies.

5. Victoria Beckham

I think we can all agree that Posh Spice could definitely use some loosening up, but it’s thanks to her famous RBF (“Resting Bitch Face”)  that she can be considered one of the easiest female celebrities to impersonate. Having openly said “I don’t want to be seen smiling, having fun, or eating.” on the subject of her image, I’d personally advise her to take some time off and let her hair down a little; it’s not all about looks, Posh! Nonetheless, such tenseness and focus have clearly paid off, since she’s been one of the top IT Girls for the past 20 years. Here’s my advice on mimicking Victoria:

RBF is not as easy to handle as one would think. If you are a joyful person (which I really hope you are), it might be hard at first to maintain an expressionless face that always gives the feeling that you are bored and annoyed. You don’t need to know how to sing (she certainly doesn’t), just try to concentrate on not going out of character, and when you speak, do it with an expensive British accent, being careful not to reveal any emotions.

4. Shakira

Colombian pop-star Shakira who ranks 4th in our list of easiest female celebrities to impersonate, rocketed to fame in the late 90s thanks to her unique, versatile voice and self-written romantic and melancholic-but-optimistic lyrics. She has an extremely wide vocal range, and is one of the few singers who resorts to yodeling as a singing technique, which makes her eternally recognizable (another singer who does this is The Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan). In order to imitate Shakira, this is what you must master:

If you’ve never heard the word “melisma”, it means “several notes sung in one syllable”, and it’s the technique used for yodeling, so if you learn to dominate this, you’ll have it down in no time. However, keep in mind that her speaking voice is much lighter, and even though her English accent is almost flawless, you can always find that Latin intonation. Also, in interviews, she comes through as a very sweet and cheerful person.

3. Ellen DeGeneres

Throughout the last decades, beloved talk show host Ellen DeGeneres who ranks 3rd in our list of easiest female celebrities to impersonate, has become a symbol of gay rights, but also a synonym of “laughing your butt off”. Appearance-wise, a trademark of hers is frequently wearing blue sneakers and jeans, showing a sporty, relaxed personality. She’s always super lively and always dances on her show (and occasionally elsewhere). I’m sure if you watch a couple of episodes you’ll be able to nail her impression. Here are your tips for impersonating Ellen:

First: be relaxed, be funny, be friendly. Secondly: learn her dance, which is kind of corky, spastic, and sometimes resembles the famous “chicken dance”. Always wear a smile on your face, and be eager to debate serious topics, while sustaining a general line of humor. So, if you want to give that special Ellen vibe, incite people to reflect on significant issues, while still maintaining a comic, humorous perspective on life.

2. Kim Kardashian

I bet no one is surprised by finding Kim K on this list of easiest female celebrities to impersonate, and that’s because an alarmingly big part of American women imitate her already. This is funny/sad, since she doesn’t really have any special talents (other than having a hot, surgically enhanced body). However, if you consider achieving fame just for being rich a talent, then she’s the most talented person ever to live, and from a talented family, too. Having starred in a reality TV show for too many years, all of her audience has managed to capture her essence. Here’s our advice:

Kim’s tone of voice and lack of expression (the previously mentioned RBF are the most important things to assimilate. She speaks in a soft, girly voice like she’s trying really hard to be nice, even when she’s being a total shrew, which is often. Always sound self-centered, diss on other people as much as you can, and try to include the words “like” and “y’ know” in every sentence you use, and it is also convenient to extend the last syllables of some words (“I’m the victeeem!”).

1. Tyra Banks

Having made a living out of discrediting the myth that all models are bubbleheads, she’s taught countless girls not to hide their personalities behind a pretty face, but to use them as a tool. Creator and host of acclaimed TV show “America’s Next Top Model” Tyra Banks has become an icon of empowered women, qualifying as one of the easiest female celebrities to impersonate. These are our tips to get Tyra right:

Her famous catchphrase “smile with your eyes” (or “smize”) always comes accompanied with an enactment that shows the contestants the difference between teeth filled, unflattering smile, and a sensuous gaze that carries all of its power in the look you address the camera; so if you want people to know you’re Tyra, you definitely have to get this right, as well as displaying a passionate, outspoken personality. You’ll also need to capture her “you-can-do-it!” attitude by adopting that optimistic and motivating tone of voice that makes so perfect for a competition show host.
