The mime costume is easy and fun. Dress in black and white, paint your face white, and add details with black makeup. Don’t forget to wear white gloves and a cap.

With old clothes and some decrepit-looking makeup, you can transform into a terrifying zombie in minutes. Torn clothing, fake blood stains, and pale makeup will do the trick.

Let’s go back to simplicity. The cat is another go-to costume for those who haven’t planned in advance. With black clothing, attach cat ears made of cardboard or fabric to a headband. Then use makeup to create a cat’s nose and whiskers.

If you want all eyes on you and everyone to admire your outfit, there’s no better costume than a traffic sign. Wear a black T-shirt and place a small traffic sign on your head. Plus, you won’t have to complain about having several options to choose from.

Choose a famous painting like the «Mona Lisa» or «The Scream.» Wear clothing that matches the painting and add some accessories, like a replica of the artwork on a cardboard.

If you’re not feeling particularly inspired but are a book or movie enthusiast, dress entirely in black and attach a printout of your favorite book or movie to your torso. You may not win a costume contest, but you’ll have made an effort.

If you want to put a little more effort into it and embody one of the most iconic artists of all time, Frida Kahlo, put on a bright dress, a shawl, and place flowers in your hair. Don’t forget some dramatic makeup and unite your eyebrows to achieve Frida’s distinctive style.

The protagonist of one of the most legendary sagas in history is distinctive enough to be recognized when you dress up as him. Wear normal clothes, grab a scarf in the colors of a Hogwarts house (if you have one), and carry a stick or a branch as a magic wand. Don’t forget the lightning bolt scar on your forehead.

It’s one of the hottest series right now, and Jeremy Allen White is also in the spotlight due to rumors of a relationship with Rosalía. Fortunately, his character in «The Bear,» Carmy, doesn’t pay much attention to details when it comes to his everyday outfit. Just grab a white T-shirt, a blue apron, and a fake cigarette. Mess up your hair and yell from time to time as if you were as stressed as a cook.

One of the most iconic characters from one of the most iconic sitcoms. Portraying Barney Stinson will be effortless if you have a suit on hand. In that case: Suit up! Just drop a witty one-liner now and then, and everyone will recognize you.

Wear dark pants, a T-shirt, and a dark coat. Put on a wide-brimmed hat and carry a plastic bag or bottle as if it were the famous blue substances from the series.

Raid your parents’ closet for some 1980s-style clothing, preferably in pink or blue, and tie a bandana around your head. You can add some waffles in a box to complete the look and paint a little blood on your nose.

Another legendary outfit you can recreate this Halloween is that of Mia Wallace. All you need is a short wig with bangs, red lipstick, and a white shirt. Learn to swing dance if you want to find your John Travolta.

To make a Wednesday Addams costume, you’ll need a long-sleeved black dress with a straight cut, opaque black stockings, and simple black shoes. For the hairstyle, use a long, straight black wig or leave your long hair loose. In makeup, achieve a pale skin tone, dark red lips, gray or black eyeshadow, and defined eyebrows. Embrace the character’s characteristic serious and somber attitude.

If you want to dazzle even if you haven’t had time to prepare anything grand, all you need is to get a wide red jumpsuit. Rihanna at the Super Bowl is the ideal costume if you’re pregnant or if you like to be the center of attention at the events you attend.

Get a tight, metallic jumpsuit, add some makeup with stripes and a lightning bolt on your eye. You can complete the David Bowie look with a flashy wig.
