If Ace Frehley wasn’t a guitarist, he would have probably wanted to be an astronaut– or a spaceman, as his KISS costume hints.

Ace Frehley rose to fame along with his KISS band mates. They became popular through the 80′s and 90′s for their hits, “Beth”, “Detroit Rock Cit” and many others. KISS also became known for their crazy, death-defying stage antics, most of which are still remembered by their fans today.

Ace Frehley’s KISS costume was one that gave a nod to the growing popularity of the sci-fi genre in the 80′s. The gray details on his eyes resembled that of a futuristic space pilot and eventually made him more popular as the Spaceman of the group.

If you are a Sci-fi fan and at the same time, an avid listener of KISS’s hits, the Spaceman costume would be perfect for Halloween and other costume-themed parties. Aside from being one of the most recognizable glam-rock costumes, Ace Frehley’s Spaceman attire will always never go out of style; for as long as KISS stays famous, so will the Spaceman costume.

To pull off the right Spaceman look, you will be needing a good pattern of the Spaceman face make-up. Look for the right white, black, and gray face paint and of course, red lipstick. If you have long hair, let the bangs stay as close to your face as possible and the more unkempt it is, the better.

You might also need a black jumpsuit with lightning bolt details on the sides. For your shoes, anything black in color would do or to match Frehley’s look as close as possible, you should look for silver-colored boots.
