Five Fabulous Costumes For A Frightfully Fun Halloween
While some have had their Halloween costumes ready since last November, there are still many people looking for a party outfit, and with Halloween around the corner, it's getting down to the wire. Fear not! I’m here to help you with five costume ideas that are equal parts frightening and fabulous below!
A Lace-Up mummy
While ghosts, werewolves, and vampires, oh my! can be found around every corner on the night of October 31st, one iconic creature is often missing from the costume lineup. The mummy! While many think a mummy costume is something childish and frumpy, like a shoddy toilet paper roll creation, the mummy can be one of the most unique high-fashion costumes out there. By wrapping yourself in scraps of lace, ribbon, and linen, you can look both haunting and haute couture. The juxtaposing textures create an artful look while accentuating your figure!
Kesha
I have always sworn up and down that if I were a blonde, this would be my Halloween costume every year. After all, a costume that gets more authentic the further you find yourself caught up in the messiness of partying? What could be more perfect? All you need is body glitter, fishnets, a blue lip, and feathers to become everyone's favorite party girl!
Domo
Because who doesn’t love that little guy? Just get some fuzzy brown leg warmers and a domo hat! Pair it with a brown mini skirt or tutu, and you’ll have the cutest costume ever!
Silent Hill Nurse
If you are seeking the perfect combination of scary and sexy, look no further! A dirtied-up short white dress, bandages wrapped around your face, and a nurse cap are all you need to be this iconic horror game character! The only downside is that it may be hard to sip your drink with all the bandages covering your face (in other words, the perfect costume for designated drivers)!
Nyan Cat
If you're anything like me, you also grew up having an obsession with a certain Pop-Tarts cat with a rainbow tail. Nyan Cat, of course! While this costume may require a little DIY finessing, it is a nostalgic bit of pop culture sure to get many compliments! Plus, you and your friend could even do a duo costume as Nyan Cat and Tac Nayn!
