Halloween Costumes Inspired by Movie Characters

Halloween is fast approaching, so it’s time for some costume inspirations. It is by far my favorite holiday because it allows me to combine two of my favorite things: film and fashion! There is nothing more fun than dressing up like iconic characters from your favorite movies, so here are some ideas to kick off the spooky season!

Patrizia Reggiani: House of Gucci

Do you want to look fabulous, scandalous, and devious all at the same time? Look no further than Patrizia Reggiani from “House of Gucci.” Reggiani’s ski outfit will keep you warm during a chilly Halloween night. All you’ll need is a red jumpsuit (a similar one can be found at Jacketars), a fur hat, and some goggles. Don’t forget an extra-glam eye look and dazzling accessories.

Emily: Corpse Bride

Emily from Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” is the perfect combination of spooky and sexy. To look glamorous and ghoulish this Halloween you’ll need to gather up a blue wig, a distressed veil, and a white gown. For makeup you should heavily contour your cheeks and apply dark eyeshadow around the eyes to create that signature skeletal effect. Here comes the bride!

Barbie and Ken: Barbie
 

Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” is the hottest movie of 2023, so we obviously had to provide some inspo!  While most people will no doubt copy Margot Robbie’s signature looks, there are so many other opportunities to make the costume your own. Get unique and be Dua Lipa’s mermaid Barbie, Kate McKinnon’s Weird Barbie, or Issa Rae’s president Barbie. This makes a great group costume as well because you and your friends can go as different iterations of Barbie and Ken (don’t forget Allen)!

Teen Witches: The Craft

Recreating the looks of the teenage witches from “The Craft” is perfect for you and your girl gang. This film is known for its amazing fashion moments, so there are endless looks to choose from. To recreate the most iconic look from the film you’ll need a plaid skirt, black boots, and witchy accessories. Get ready to cast a spell on everyone with your impeccable style!

Cher and Friends: Clueless

This is yet another great costume idea for a group of girlfriends or the everyday fashion gal. The film Clueless is such a widely known classic with memorable clothing. Everyone is sure to know exactly who you are portraying from the moment you step foot into the room. The most difficult part of this costume is deciding which character you want to emulate. Will you choose Cher’s iconic yellow plaid set? Dionne and her funky hats? Or Tai’s makeover look? Could you really go wrong with any of these glam looks? As If!
