Dressing up for Halloween?
From The Addams Family’s Wednesday to Black Swan’s Nina, we’ve rounded up five killer looks inspired by our favourite deadly muses.
And the best bit? They’re all created with pieces you’ll want to wear again. In the UK, 7 million Halloween outfits are thrown away each year* – now that’s scary!
*According to the Hubbub study.
Is it just us or was The Shining’s Wendy serving some serious looks in the ‘80s horror? If we had to pick a favourite, it would be her cord pinny, check shirt and rollneck combo, aka the perfect autumnal look. Accessorise with a baseball bat for the *perfect* re-creation.
If you want an excuse to wear a pretty occasionwear dress for the night, telekinetic teen Carrie has you covered. In *that* iconic scene where she’s crowned prom queen, only to be covered in pigs blood moments later, she wears a pink satin midi dress, heels and tiara – a glitzy headband will work just as well.
Take the balletcore trend to the next level by dressing up as Nina from twisted ballerina tale Black Swan. To nail her famous look, team a black bandeau with a matching flippy skirt, ballet pumps, bejeweled headband and dramatic eye makeup. Halloween outfit en pointe…
To channel your inner superhero this spooky season, rock head-to-toe black faux leather in the paw-fect tribute to Catwoman. Complete the look with a pair of black cat ears and winged eyeliner.
