Need A Last-Minute Costume? We Got You Covered
Halloween is on today, so cue the panic if you procrastinated on finding a costume. To avoid being the loser wearing a t-shirt covered with Sharpie, we’ve got a few ideas for costumes you can throw together with what you have in your closet and a good makeup palette.
Zombie Lingerie Model
The perfect mix of sexy and spooky. Throw on your best bra and panties, a pair of killer heels, and then add some gore. Carry a Victoria’s Secret bag to be a zombie Angel.
Calvin Klein Underwear Model
Thanks to Kylie Jenner, Calvin Klein’s namesake underwear line is having a moment. For an easy costume, just swing by your nearest Urban Outfitters, grab a pair of briefs or a bra, and have fun in your #calvinklein
Vivian from Pretty Woman
For an oldie but a goodie, find your best pair of hooker boots to go as everyone’s favorite prostitute with a heart of gold. All you need is a blue skirt, a white tank top with the sides cut out, a blonde wig (we know you have one!), and the aforementioned boots. Bonus points if one has a safety pin!
Freddie Mercury
Throw some tape on your favorite white skinny jeans, slick your hair back, and you’ll be everyone’s new favorite Queen. If you don’t have the iconic ‘stache, a little felt goes a long way.
If you don’t want to buy any new clothes for something you’ll only wear once, we got you covered. Make-up based costumes are an easy way to look great on a budget.
Pop Art
Perfect as a stand-alone, group, or couple’s costume. Pop art make-up gives you a retro look that puts the focus on your gorgeous mug instead of what you’re wearing.
Censor Pixels
Go naked this year! Well, sort of. Cut out squares in different shades of brown, tan, and white and glue them to piece of cardboard. Use tape or string to hang the cardboard over anything that can’t be shown on daytime TV.
Porcelain Doll
Bust out some fake lashes, do a precise red or sweet pink lip, and be a porcelain doll. Wearing something precious will help you ooze innocence, or you can make it scandalous by being pairing a cracked face with a mini skirt or booty shorts.
Zoolander
The second Zoolander was a flop, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put on your favorite blue lipstick, highlight your cheekbones, and show off that patented pout. A blue sweatband will pull it all together.
Literally Anyone from Rocky Horror
Rocky Horror was basically made for queer Halloween. You can do a modern take and mimic Laverne Cox’s Frank-n-Furter (you could stab someone with the point on that cat eye) or dress up as Rocky with gold shorts and body glitter.
If none of these appeal to you, there’s always our favorite: sexy ghost!
