Last Minute Halloween Guide: 7 Costumes You Already Have in Your Closet

Last Minute Halloween Costumes *Glamazon Jessica dressed up as Cookie from Empire*

Glamazons,

Halloween is right around the corner and if you are anything like me, you are frantically trying to think of an outfit to wear to join in on the fun.

No need to stress: you can pull together these fab costumes with items you already have in your closet. Or at the very least, items you’ll actually wear after. We promise!

Get inspiration with these costume ideas below:

1. Flapper

Why not channel the 1920s for your costume? Take a cue from such divas as Josephine Baker and Coco Chanel and push the envelope with heavy makeup, bold accessories and risque silhouettes. All you need is a fringe dress, headband and something (faux) fur.

2. Twiggy

What else are you going to do with those bold lashes you haven’t worn yet? As the signature face of the ’60s, Twiggy ushered in a whole new mod era with boxy, highlighter mini-skirts, patent leather go-go boots, colorblocking, and circle frames. If you have something mod in your closet, pull it out! Throw on a pair of oversize shades and luxe lashes, and slick your hair back. Done and done.


3. Diana Ross

Diana Ross was the undisputed queen of fashion in the ’70s. From her metallic gowns and dazzling pantsuits to fur stoles and floppy hats, she never played it safe when it came to style. Dig in the crates for that fancy glittery gown you bought for a formal gala or dance, and only wore once. Throw in dazzling, over-the-top accessories (and if you feel like making a purchase, a big, curly wig) and you’re good to go.


4. Clueless

As if! We know you have a plaid skirt, knee-high socks and platforms just collecting dust at the bottom of your drawer. Pull them out for a costume that pays homage to “Clueless” fashion: a look that was chic, preppy and decidedly ’90s. Oh! And there are “Clueless” nail wraps courtesy of NCLA that will help your cause. Bonus points if you go around quoting the movie all night. “You’re a virgin who can’t drive.”


5. Cat

A cat is surely the move for Halloween. Think about it: it’s a great excuse to throw every leopard piece you have on without feeling any shame. No, seriously, between the cat ears and leopard nail stickers that are currently trending, why not go for this classic Halloween look? You’ll be the chicest person at the party.


6. Soldier

Since all-camo-everything is the official look of the moment, being a soldier is a no-brainer. And not just any soldier – we’re talking a soldier in Destiny Child‘s army or maybe you can channel Rihanna during the “Hard” era. Add some sex appeal with a crop top and camo pumps, and go over-the-top with accessories like an army green hat, aviator shades and a military-inspired pin. A dark lip will add just enough edge.



7. Minnie Mouse

Those cool mouse hats you see at every store? Perfect opportunity to create a Minnie Mouse costume. All you have to do is pair it with a red and white polka dot dress (bonus for tulle poking out from the bottom), bows galore, black tights and don’t forget the dramatic lashes.

What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

Keeping It Fashionable,
