But finding inspiration can be hard, and Halloween only comes around once a year, after all, so it’s important to get it right. Sure, there’s always the option of getting some cat ears, drawing whiskers on your face with eyeliner, and calling it a day. But if you’re going to bother dressing up, don’t you want to do it right? Whether you’re looking for something silly and fun or something elegant and stylish, here’s a list of five stand-out ideas that would go down a treat (and a trick) at any Halloween party, and what to shop to get the look just right. 1) Wednesday Addams Jenna Ortega has become a true soft goth queen, and it all began with her turn as Wednesday Addams. To get the look, you just need to wear a little black dress over a white blouse, and some chunky loafers to tie it all together. Don’t forget to keep the makeup simple, with some eyeliner and a wash of sheer plum for your lips.2) Nancy Downs If you like your villains gorgeous, goth, and absolutely furious, chances are you’re a big fan of witchy Nancy Downs from The Craft (1996). To get her look, well, down, you just need black maxi layers, a choker, lots of longer chain necklaces, oodles of eyeliner, and some deep, dark lipstick. 3) Count Orlok Thanks to TikTok, it did not take long for the towering nightmare that was Nosferatu’s (2024) Count Orlok to become a memed camp icon. Therefore, you’ve got even more wiggle room to make this costume as silly as you like, complete with a budget-friendly bald cap and press-on nails. 4) Victor Frankenstein Anyone who hasn’t seen Guillermo del Toro’s utterly gorgeous new Frankenstein movie yet needs to run, not walk, to the cinema ASAP. If you have, then dressing as Victor (the real monster of the story, after all), should be a no-brainer. Just make sure you remember the crimson gloves for all your work in lab... 5) Mary (from Sinners)Last but certainly not least is Mary from one of the best and most imaginative new takes on vampire lore our screens have been blessed with in recent memory: the movie Sinners. To get the look, grab a super flattering dusky pink satin dress, a shawl to match, and a pair of fangs, of course. It’s simple, elegant, but very effective.Related...7 Trending Kids Halloween Costumes That Won’t Spook Your BudgetAutumn s Affordable Must-Have Fragrance Is From A Brand You d Never ExpectI ve Tested 100s Of Sex Toys – These Are 2025 s Best Spicy Advent Calendars
