Halloween is only a few days away and between studying for exams and homecoming events, you may have forgotten to plan that perfect Halloween costume. Don’t freak out just yet; Her Campus has provided you with some last minute Halloween costumes so you can still make a statement on that spooky haunted night.

80s Chick:

Lets face it; we have all at one point in our lives wished we were born in a different era. Between the fashion trends, movies, and music, we just can’t get enough. This Halloween, dress up according to your favorite era. If you wish you were an 80s chick, here is what to do: Grab an oversized neon t-shirt and cut the collar off so it falls off your shoulder. Pair the shirt with black leggings, leg warmers, and sneakers. Now here are the fun parts, ladies: tease your hair and pull it back into a high side ponytail with a scrunchy, and make your makeup dramatic with fun popping colors.

Cleopatra:

It’s not everyday you get to be an Egyptian Queen. This Halloween, dress up as Cleopatra and “walk like an Egyptian.” Don’t be so quick to pack away that white summer dress (although this is Miami); put it to good use this Halloween night. Accentuate the dress with gold earrings, bangles, and a headpiece. Be sure to pair your outfit with gold gladiator sandals. Finish off the look by making your eye makeup dramatic by elongating your eyeliner to give it that real Egyptian look.

Audrey Hepburn:

Dress like the film and fashion icon and be considered best dressed for the night! This icon’s look is simple to replicate. Put on that little black dress that we all own. Complete the look with black heels, big sunglasses, long black gloves, and a statement necklace. Pull your hair back in to a high bun and you are ready to go!

Country Girl:


Chili Cook Off is that one event every year that we all wait anxiously for to dress up in our cutest country attire and listen to some good country music. Well ladies, no need to wait until January. This October 31, dress up in your country best. Pull out your cowgirl boots, hat, Daisy Dukes, and plaid shirt. This costume is a real easy one to do with your special someone; make him your cowboy!

Real Housewives of Miami:

This last costume idea is one you can do with all your girlfriends. Put on that cocktail dress you begged your mom for and she swore you would never wear again. Continue the look with strappy heels and statement jewelry. Your hair and makeup for this costume are easy to do; simply do them as if you were going to an event. Lastly, grab that cocktail and walk around for the night. Â
