Halloween, the spookiest time of the year, is just around the corner. Halloween is the perfect time to let your fashion creativity shine by coming up with clever costume ideas that set you apart from the traditional vampires, witches, and zombies. If you’re tired of the same old costumes every year, this blog post is perfect for you. We’ve curated a list of 5 clever Halloween costume ideas that are easily customizable and perfect to make you the star of the spooky season.
1. Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber at Rhode x Krispy Kreme
Most of us have seen the iconic paparazzi photos from Rhode (the beauty brand) and donut maker Krispy Kreme’s launch of the strawberry-doughnut-flavored lip treatment. The Biebers were 1. Significantly overdressed and 2. Significantly underdressed for the occasion. Hailey was spotted in a corseted red minidress and Justin in SpongeBob crocs and a sweatsuit. This costume idea is extremely low effort and perfect for a couple outing this spooky season.
2. Taylor Swift x Travis Kelce
While the relationship may seem like a total PR stunt by the NFL, the “Swifty” and Kansas City Chief collaboration can make a perfect costume this Halloween. All you need is a red-and-white varsity jacket, red lipstick, and a printout VIP pass on a lanyard to be Miss Taylor Swift. To get Kelce’s look from one of their only photos together, you just need a basic beige denim set and some DIY inspiration. (Oh, and a mustache). If that’s too much to handle, borrowing a Chief’s jersey from a friend will work just as well.
3. Inside the Human Body
Skeletons are SO last year. If you’re into a realistic (but frightening) makeup look, this may be the perfect idea for your Halloween party costume. This look may also be perfect for those last-minute costume seekers. To achieve this too real effect, grab your favorite shades of red costume makeup, and follow this helpful tutorial.
4. Eras of Britney Spears
Majority of us have seen Britney’s most iconic looks throughout her many eras of popularity. Thankfully, most of these looks are easy to pull off. All it takes is a few basics, and a little accessorizing, and you can be one of our most popular figures. Below are a few examples of iconic Britney people would love to see this Halloween.
5. Animals
I know, animals may seem to be an unusual costume to be trending this season. But hey, Halloween is the best time for the weird to get weird. There are two ways to go about the animal costume this year: all out, or just a few adorable accessories. From a basic black cat to a giraffe to a unicorn, you can be anything you want and make it look great!
