Paint your face white with eyes and nose like the joker and finish it off with red lipstick shaped as wide lips.
Ha! Ha! Happy Halloween! That’s how you’ll be entering the party.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
The Netflix series that released last Halloween may as well serve to be a Halloween inspiration this year. When we first met Kiernan Shipka’s Sabrina in 2018, she was a teenage witch embracing her mortal side alongside her family’s witchy legacy. The second season, which came soon enough earlier this year, saw the teenage witch transform to a darker witch as the supposed daughter of Lucifer.
Now that is the look I am talking about! Silver hair, all-black ensemble, black hairband and vampy lipstick. Easy to pull off, and you can add an oomph of white contact lens to channel the princess of hell, because the queen is, well, Lilith. You can try to be her as well, you know, when she was Madam Satan, donning body con dresses and wavy hair. The options are endless and the three Weird Sisters is a good catch for three friends trying to be in sync this Halloween.
Stranger Things
Any character from Netflix’s hit series can work as your Halloween look inspiration. When the series first came out in 2016, it so happened that Eleven, a character played by Millie Bobby Brown, became the most popular Halloween costume of that year. Years down the line, the additional characters have only inspired more. With the latest season, the sailor-inspired outfit of Robin and Steve may take home the trophy of best costumes this year. Don’t forget to carry one ice-cream scoopers for that extra sweetness and authenticity.
Euphoria
HBO’s high-school drama is a hotspot for Halloween costume ideas because there are just too many characters and their cool outfits to choose from. Kat’s good-girl-done bad style can be sported with a t-shirt and a corset combo. Jules’ nostalgic outfits feature glittery tops, slip dresses and heavy accessories which can be easily pulled off even at work on Halloween day. For a daring Jules’ outfit, you can try her own Halloween look where she donned long white slip dress, angel wings, and runny makeup.
Black Mirror’s Ashley O
AI the ultimate horror over ghosts? Then channel Black Mirror! Miley Cyrus’s Ashley O character from Season 5, Episode 5, literally screams the coming of the dystopian world in a very fancy way. The iconic pink wig paired with silver ensemble captures the futuristic world of robots. Carry a robotic doll along and play the Ashley O singing ‘I’m on a roll,’ because, why not?
Fleabag
The Emmy award-winning series is iconic for a number of reasons. The show’s creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge has not only won the world but has stamped her style. Let’s specifically look at the iconic black jumpsuit from the second season paired with a black and white striped shirt from underneath. If your friend agrees to wear a priest costume, then hands-down you will win the best duo this Halloween.
Outlander
The heartwarming series based on Diana Gabaldon’s book is beloved for reasons such as time travel, the power of true love, and epoch-making costumes. The show set in the backdrop of Scotland and New World (America) sets you in a frenzy of a fantastical world, but let’s be honest, it is very hard to find such costumes online. Many Outlander fans have sewed the Scottish costumes themselves to wear for Halloween, and if it means reliving the era you want to be in and fall in love at the most romantic period, then DIY is worth it.
Booksmart
This one is for you and your best friend to basically prove your bond be the type A heroines for Halloween. Just like Molly and Amy from Booksmart, both of you can drape yourselves in navy blue overalls, tie-up a white converse and seal a fanny bag across your waist to store your essentials. The coming-of-age story which basically reinvented the teen movie genre made the navy coveralls a prom essential. Who knew!
Friends
The one American sit-com that has stood the test of time and will always be timeless is also an annual Halloween inspiration. Celebrate the 15th anniversary of this legendary TV show and opt to dress like Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey or Ross. You’ve always known that Friends are there for you right? So this could be your less-messy last-minute Halloween costume.
Ali Wong
Okay, so the reason why Ali Wong has made it to this list full of TV shows is that she is a Halloween sensation, nevertheless. With her highly acclaimed two Netflix comedy specials, many have already dressed as the 37-year-old star through the years. As for 2023, you could channel her again, with her ‘Always Be My Maybe’ look, where she played the role of a famous celebrity chef. Her huge cat-eyeglasses have always remained a signature style, ideal for Halloween.
