Spooktacular Last-Minute Costume Ideas From TV & Movies
And just like that, Halloween is almost here! It definitely snuck up on us, didn’t it? If you haven’t figured out your costume yet, no worries. You might just need a dash of inspiration. A lot of people turn to TV shows and movies for ideas, and with so many options out there, the possibilities are endless. The best part? You can probably piece together something from your closet or snag something that’ll get plenty of use later on. That’s a win-win situation right there.
For some last-minute ideas, you could channel a player from Netflix’s Squid Game. Just throw on a green tracksuit or become a Minion from Despicable Me with a yellow shirt and jeans.
Wednesday Addams is another costume that’s simple to pull off. You can go with either the movie or the TV version. This look has taken TikTok by storm. Just grab a black dress, a collar of some sort, black tights, braid your hair, and finish with dark lipstick.
How about a throwback with characters from Mean Girls? Regina George is a solid choice, whether you go with her Winter Talent Show outfit, her cafeteria look, or the classic “a little bit dramatic” pink ensemble. All you need to do is pair a pink cardigan with a black mini skirt and tank top.
Want another Mean Girls option? Try Karen Smith. All you need are mouse ears, a tail, and a black minidress to capture her famous Halloween moment. Of course, add an occasional mouse ears point with a sarcastic “duh!”
And with news of a Princess Diaries 3, why not rock a Mia Thermopolis look? Go for her pre-makeover style: a Grove High School uniform with a blue plaid skirt, blue blouse, black blazer, knee-high socks, flats, and a tie.
If you’re feeling heroic, go full-on Scarlet Witch. Just put together a red leotard, cape, go-go boots, and Wanda’s signature headpiece. Leave your hair natural or don a red wig to complete the transformation.
For something quick and easy, put on a dark cap and matching jacket, and walk around with a brooding expression and you can simply tell people that you’re Joe from You.
Another easy look? Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly from the 1961 rom-com Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Slip into a long black gown, black satin gloves, a pearl necklace, and style your hair in a sleek updo.
Barbie is always a fun choice, too! Go full-on Barbiecore with all the pink. Different shades, bright accessories, and don’t forget those bold blocky heels.
No matter which costume you choose, Halloween is all about having fun and expressing your creativity.
