Halloween is quickly approaching, and it is high time that you start gathering costume ideas. Money might be tight right now, but you don’t have to spend a small fortune to look amazing. Ladies, if you really want to hit it out of the park this All Hallow’s Eve, consider one of these eye-catching costume ideas.
Kick It Regency-Style
When planning for women’s costumes, consider donning your best Regency-era dress and evoking your inner Jane Austen or Bridgerton character. Regency dresses are elegant and make a bold statement whenever you walk into a room by cinching in your waist and accentuating your chest. But they’re also modest.
If you’re a skilled sewer, you can find Regency ball gown patterns for sale on sites like Etsy. Make-up is minimal, and jewelry is understated.
Which Witch is Witchiest?
Why, the DIY witch, of course! Channel your favorite fictional witch with a costume inspired by the Sanderson sisters, Sabrina Spellman, or Nancy from The Craft. If your sister or best friend is your total opposite, consider dressing up as Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked/The Wizard of Oz. You can play around with that dichotomy and even glam up your witch with rhinestone studs or body glitter.
Marvel-ous Costumes
Don’t pay an arm and a leg for a store-bought Marvel superhero costume. Channel your inner Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Storm, Nebula, or Shuri with your own garb and make-up. Marvel women are strong, smart, and resourceful, and their costumes reflect their capabilities. Of course, if you go for a Gamora or Nebula costume, they will be more make-up-heavy. If you go for Scarlet Witch or Storm, you will need to find the right wig and a body-hugging costume that can be paired with some awesome boots. And don’t forget the cape!
Pretty, Pretty Disney Princess
Disney pricess costumes always make a bold statement, no matter which princess you decide to portray. You can pick your favorite princess and play around with the styling. Choosing a more modern dress style can help you stand out, as could making your princess a Rosie the Riveter type or a superhero. You can also exaggerate the wig and make-up to make a more unique look. Your statement piece could be something from that particular film that is related to your characters, such as a fork for your Ariel and her luscious red hair.
Make Her-story
Are you a history buff? Into women’s rights and history? Pick a powerful woman from history and make her-story with a phenomenal costume. Whether you select Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Harriet Tubman, Princess Diana or a tough female Viking warrior, you can make a real statement about women’s empowerment this Halloween. What you’ll want to emphasize is the history that your woman character made and how she made it, so you might want to accentuate with something like a sword for a warrior or a gavel and dissent collar for Ruth.
Whatever you decide to do, have fun with your eye-catching costume. Halloween is all about expressing yourself through a fun, unique costume. You can spend a lot or a little and still make a bold statement, turning heads at any party you attend.
