Snooki in a Pickle (Costume!)

"Snooki costumes rule this Halloween -- celebs from Joan Rivers to Kelly Ripa to Melissa Rycroft to 'Jersey Shore' tough guy Vinny Guadagnino have already dressed up as the petite, party-loving 'Jersey Shore' star this week. Ellen DeGeneres even delighted/disgusted fans by dressing entirely as Snooki's famous 'poof' hairdo.

But last night, Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi made them all green with envy at a costume bash in Vegas.

Dressed as a pickle (or is she a sparkly green queen armed with a giant pickle sceptor?), the 22-year-old MTV star paid homage to her favorite tasty treat at the 'Nightmare in Jersey' celebration. 

Her look featured pickle-shaped spangles on her minidress, an emerald cape and a bright green manicure. 

Also in attendance: The Situation, who apparently dressed as a party pooper, choosing his everyday attire over a Halloween costume. Then again, how was he supposed to compete next to his magnificently greener-than-green co-star Snooki? Looks like she'd clobber anyone trying to steal her thunder with that scary jumbo pickle!
Snooki, whose costume was designed by The Light Group for the event, judged a $10,000 costume contest at the bash. No word yet on which partygoer's costume was even better than a pickle."
