Halloween is right around the corner, and if you’re struggling to come up with cool looks to sport this year, we’ve got you covered. Ditch the typical superheroes, villains, and gore-y attire for these totally unique yet easy-to-replicate outfit ideas that may even fetch you the Best Dressed prize –
The Instagram Influencer
If you’re someone on a budget, this one works perfectly in your favour. All you’ll need to do is throw on some leggings, a sports bra, an oversized hoodie, a cap, sunglasses and slip into a pair of sneakers, and voila! You’re the trendiest person at the party. If these are missing from your wardrobe, Urban Outfitters has come up with a special ‘Influencer costume’ that fetches you everything you need.
Kylie Jenner
On the topic of influencers, it’s hard not to mention one of the most influential people in the world – Kylie Jenner. The billionaire-to-be has broken the internet on several occasions, and considering the fact that she bought her first house at just 17, there’s hardly anybody that wouldn’t want to be Kylie Jenner for even a day. Well, you can be this Halloween, and it’s pretty simple to replicate her outfits. Get yourself a bodycon dress, some heels, simple makeup with the classic Kylie Jenner lip-overlining, and you’re good to go. If you’re someone who’d love to try on a different hair colour for one night, you can also don a wig. (Platinum blonde seems to be Jenner’s favourite hair colour)
The Spice Girls
This one’s perfect if you’re a girl gang of 5. The Spice Girls were undoubtedly one of the greatest singing sensations that ever lived, and each of them brought their own uniqueness to the gang making it a perfect fit for you and your squad. If you’re someone a lot edgier, Scary Spice (Melanie Brown) is certainly for you. The fashionista can transform into Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham), the fierce one Sporty Spice (Melanie Chisholm), the poised one Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell), and the group’s cutesy one can be Baby Spice (Emma Bunton)
Ranveer Singh in Padmavati
This one’s for you bold men out there, who’d want to up their Halloween game this year. Singh’s performance in as Alauddin Khilji Padmavati is one of his most memorable one’s yet, and his costumes took it a notch higher. Give your fellow Halloween party goers something to remember this year. You’ll need to make a run to your nearest costume/prop store for this one, where you’ll find Alauddin Khilji’s full attire right till his wig (in case you don’t have hair that long). You can complete your look by lining your eyes with a deep black kohl pencil.
Patrick Melrose
Patrick Melrose is one of the top drama series in the US, about a man named Partick Melrose (Benedict Cumberbatch) whose troubled childhood led him down a dark path of substance abuse and addiction. His attire is pretty simple too, and one that can be easily replicated. You will need a grey suit, a black tie, a long black trench coat, and an eye patch that you can obtain from any party shop in your vicinity.
Gru from Despicable Me
Former supervillain Gru is one of the most memorable and funny characters in the animated world, and if you’re someone who is no hair on their head, or even a partially shaved head, it won’t be that hard to rock the ‘Gru’ look. All you need is a pair of black denim, a black hoodie and a grey and black striped scarf. You can also carry around a minion stuffed toy to lend a little more authenticity to your look. If you have a full head yet still want to sport this look, you can avail of a skin coloured wig cap at your nearest beauty store. Bonus points if you have a ridiculously pointy nose!
