With Halloween coming up, the pressure is on to find a costume, whether you plan on going to parties with friends or staying in and watching horror movies with a bowl of candy on the couch. Here are the top five best costumes for every scenario you might find yourself in this spooky season.
1. Serena and Blair (Gossip Girl)
Dressing as our Constance fashion icons, Serena and Blair, really sets the tone for this Halloweekend. Following the classic schoolgirl look while maintaining effortless beauty, the only required aspects of this costume are a white button-down, pleated black skirt, and a black tie. To personalize Blair, add her staple headband, and for Serena, loosen the buttons and the tie to give the laid-back look she’s known for. This is the perfect costume for you and your bestie who do besties better than anyone.
2. Princess Mia (Princess Diaries)
Shut up! Isn’t this costume just the cutest? Princess Diaries, a fan-favorite chick flick, is the perfect movie to inspire a chic costume. Being Princess Mia for the night in a white dress, gloves, and tiara, along with her iconic headphones and sunglasses, is the way to go this Halloween. Show your inner royalty and be the people’s princess at every party on Halloweekend!
3. Cupid
What better way to spend Halloween than dressing up as dearest Cupid? If hearts and arrows struck you this fall, a simple red dress and white wings would make for the perfect outfit this October 31st. With a bow and arrow as accessories, this costume is simple to put together, adorable, and sure to make you stand out on the dark night of Halloween.
4. Statue of Liberty and Tourist
Following in the footsteps of our Midwest Princess, Chappell Roan, the Statue of Liberty and her infatuated counterpart, the NYC Tourist, is the ideal couple’s costume this season. A sparkly teal dress and famous torch and headband for her, along with khaki shorts and an “I Heart NYC” tee for him, make for the perfect look for you and your special someone this Halloween. Who doesn’t love the cliche tourist itching to get photos with one of the most famous symbols of the country?
5. Chipmunks/Chipettes (Alvin and the Chipmunks)
Dressing as our furry pop-star friends may just be the best trio costume. The beloved Chipmunks and Chipettes make for simple but cute costumes. Easily recognizable and comfortable, they are ideal for a long night of horror movies or trick-or-treating with pillowcases of candy around the familiar streets of Havertown. This classic childhood movie never dies!
