With Halloween just around the corner, finding the perfect costume last minute can be stressful. There are so many options… You could dress up as anything from your favorite food or to your favorite movie character. As the long awaited night rolls closer, here are some costume ideas that will have heads turning!
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice… and Lydia
With Beetlejuice Beetlejuice out in theaters, icons Lydia (Winona Ryder) and Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) hit the screens once again. This is a cute couple costume that everyone knows. When Lydia first appears in Beetlejuice, she wears her messy half up half down hairstyle with choppy bangs and a long black dress. Then when Beetlejuice appears, he wears his black and white suit with his teased messy yellow hair. Instead of imitating the newer Lydia and Beetlejuice for your costume, you could also dress as the classic cartoon Lydia and Beetlejuice! They wear the same iconic colors just with more purple accents.
A Bunch of Hocus Pocus
The famous Sanderson Sisters of Salem, Massachusetts are an iconic costume idea, especially for a trio of friends. Sarah Sanderson with her long blonde hair, Mary Sanderson with her short black hair, and the oldest Winifred Sanderson with her bright orange hair, allow a costume for everyone. These sisters are crazy, but match each other perfectly in their own way.
Zing Mavis and Johnny
This iconic duo from Hotel Transylvania is so cute! These characters really prove that opposites attract – in personality and style. Mavis has a more goth look, while Johnny sports his California surfer aesthetic. Mavis wears red and black tights with a simple cute black dress! Oh, don’t forget to put on the black hightop converse! Johnny wears cargo jorts with a green and orange long sleeve. His bright ginger hair matches perfectly with Mavis’ black hair. This would be a great couples costume.
“Thank you for being a friend”
In the heart of Miami, Florida the four Golden Girls live as sisters though they are friends. The Golden Girls are iconic and easily noticed for their bold personalities and their hilarious dynamics. Blanche Devereaux, the flirt, has bright ginger hair and an impeccable taste in fashion. Dorothy Zbornak is the tallest of the quartet, and is mostly seen as the sarcastic opinionated girl of the group. Rose Nylund is the less bright one of the group, but has a big heart and a bubbly personality. Sofia Petrillo, the mother figure, has a strong Italian personality which may come off as harsh from time to time, but she deeply cares for Dorothy.
Ruh-Roh! The Scooby Gang’s in Town!
Traveling all over the globe, this infamous gang of teenagers along with the fun loving great dane Scooby Doo, solve mysteries while cruising in the mystery machine. Shaggy Rogers and Scooby are the iconic foodie duo and are always willing to eat some snacks as well as try new things! Shaggy wears a bright lime green shirt, khaki pants, and if you dress up as him you can’t forget his emblematic goatee. Daphne Blake and Fred Jones match together perfectly – Daphne in her soft purple dress with a light green dainty scarf and Fred’s bright white polo with blue pants. This couple is stylish and seemingly perfect. Finally the wonderful and smart Velma. Noticed by her big glasses, orange turtleneck sweater and bright red skirt, Velma and the rest of the gang are an easily identifiable and an iconic group costume!
