I am VERY last minute to this, but I wanted to share with you all some of my outfit ideas for Halloween 2021! I don’t know what exactly I will go as, but I figured some of you out there still might not know what you will be wearing! I typically dress as fairly nuanced or lesser-known characters (I’ve gone as Clove from The Hunger Games, Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers, Holly Golightly in her pajamas, etc., but I also have gone as pretty popular ones too! This year is no different, as I have a few more popular ideas in mind as well as some more lesser-known ones. If I had remembered to order in time, I totally would have gone as someone from Squid Game (yes I did finish the show even though it skyrocketed my anxiety lol), but stay tuned on Halloween to see what I decided to go as!
I filmed a TikTok/Reel today (linked here) with all these outfit ideas, but I do have some original photos dressed as different characters from years past! I have linked similar items or even exact items as shown all from Amazon, so that hopefully it can come in by Friday!
// Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate //
turtleneck // skirt // boots
I love anything 60s, so when I saw a few Tik Tokers showing ideas for the white skirt and black turtleneck Margot Robbie wore while filming as Sharon Tate, I had to throw it in! This is super easy to recreate- if you have a white skirt and black long sleeve or turtleneck top you’re good! Blow out your hair and throw on a pair of white go go boots if you have them!
// Beth Harmon from Queen’s Gambit //
dress // shoes (exact), similar // red cosplay wig (looks exactly like her hair!)
Y’all know I’m absolutely obsessed with this show, so I obviously have this costume as a strong contender. I found a variety of cosplay dresses and wigs on Amazon for many of Beth’s iconic looks, but the green and black Paris dress takes the cake for me. Don’t have time to order one of the cosplay looks from Amazon? Many of her looks are super easy to recreate, all you need is a chess board or piece to make the look complete!
// Holly Golightly //
t-shirt dress, cotton night shirt // eye mask // earrings, earrings // eye mask and earrings set
I’ve done this costume several times before but it’s always so cute! I found the eye mask several years ago on Etsy, but I found several on Amazon! I used to have a pair of purple earrings that looked just like her earplugs, but sadly couldn’t find them for the Tik Tok I filmed! They add a nice touch if you can find them. Throw on some slippers to finish the look.
// Marie from Aristocats //
cat ears (I made a paper pair by taping triangles to a headband, but I ordered this pair for the actual costume!) // pink bow
I’m obsessed with Marie and most likely will go as her if a pair of cat ears comes in time (I literally taped paper triangles to a headband for the Tik Tok I filmed haha!). Wear all white (preferably a dress or girly outfit), add a pink bow or tie on your neck yourself, and finish with cat ears.
// Blair Waldorf //
top- old Chicwish // skirt- old J.Crew // headband- Claires // shoes
Super easy and recognizable, you really only need a preppy blouse, skirt, heels, and a headband. Of course you can get super exact by looking through the show and picking out an outfit, but most of the time that headband is a dead giveaway. I went as Blair one year in high school and copied her Constance school look, I’ll try to find a photo of it!
