What Your 2020 Halloween Costume Should Be, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: Black Canary from Birds of Prey

Aries, you’re known for being independent, but we know that doesn’t necessarily translate to selfish. You can also be very caring and devoted, much like Dinah Lance. In the film, Dinah helps out both Harley Quinn and Cassandra Cain and joins the Birds of Prey, a crime fighting girl gang. But, of course, Aries you’re not just a do-gooder; you still have a fiery streak, which can at times lead to outbursts that might make you wish you had the Black Canary’s ear shattering scream. On Halloween, at least you can pretend!

Taurus: Nurse Ratched from Ratched

It’s spooky season, and what better time than now to explore your dark side? Everyone loves to call you on your stubbornness, Taurus. Show them how right they are, and channel your inner bull as the domineering Nurse Ratched. Of course, you’re nothing like this fictional character originally from Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, but a comparison can be drawn in your shared tenacity to accomplish your will – no matter how wicked. 

Gemini: Sabrina Spellman from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Geminis tend to be misunderstood, often labeled two-faced when in reality they’re just flexible. Like Sabrina Spellman, there is a duality to your nature, Gemini. Tap into it this Halloween and dress up as our favorite half-mortal, half-witch. And that’s not all you two have in common, either! Geminis love acquiring new information and are equipped with a quick-witted personality just like Sabrina! We’re still a little upset Netflix decided to cancel this one, but we’re excited about the fourth and final installment expected later this year. Until then, it’s the perfect time to catch up on the third season released back in January, or start a re-watch.

Cancer: Halsey in the Be Kind Music Video

Everything about Marshmello and Halsey’s “Be Kind” music video reminds us of a Cancer aesthetic moodboard with its soft pastels. You are one of the most empathetic signs in the zodiac, Cancer, which gives way to your sensitivity. You’re also incredibly loyal. The song’s lyrics reflect just that – someone trying to understand their partner while promising to stand by them. Flaunt all your best qualities this Halloween with this whimsical music video-inspired look. You’ll need a crop top, yellow mini skirt, stockings, a pink wig and a flower.

Leo: The Weeknd in the Blinding Lights Music Video

There’s so much going on here that radiates Leo energy. The Weeknd’s persona in the “Blinding Lights” music video is clearly center stage throughout, and Leo, this couldn’t be more you, as you love to soak up the limelight. You also appreciate fashion, luxury and all things associated with the good life. The character in this video is sporting a vibrant red get-up, soaring down the road in a Mercedes without a care in the world. Only you could pull off a chic version of this look with a fitted red suit. Bonus: The video opens with The Weeknd’s persona dripping blood and slightly unhinged, giving it a creepy Halloween vibe!

Virgo: Rue Bennet as the Detective from Euphoria

All the characters in Euphoria are worthy of a Halloween costume, but there is a specific look that fits you perfectly, Virgo! A particularly memorable moment in the show occurs when Rue begins to spiral into a manic state, illustrated by her adopting a detective persona as she attempts to uncover what is really going on with Jules. Like a detective, you’re analytical at heart, Virgo, always trying to connect the dots. But, this can also lead to overthinking, not unlike Detective Bennet. But, at the end of the day, your goal is to help those you love just like Rue. (OK, maybe we’re still reeling from Zendaya’s Emmy win!)

Libra: Grace Le Domas from Ready Or Not 

via GIPHY

Libras love harmony and balance, but that’s not very festive. This Halloween, take your fears head on, Libra. Confront chaos and the unexpected like Grace De Lomas from the 2019 comedy horror flick Ready Or Not, whose balance and harmony was turned upside down on her wedding night in a seemingly innocent family game. What you’ll need: a white dress, a pair of yellow converse sneakers, fake weaponry, and LOTS of fake blood!

Scorpio: Lila Pitts from The Umbrella Academy

You notice when a Scorpio enters the room just like when we were captivated by the newest character in the second season of The Umbrella Academy. Lila Pitts embodies your core qualities, Scorpio. She is mysterious, determined and at times downright intimidating! But, in Scorpio fashion, she’s also very in tune with her emotions. And it’s a fairly easy DIY costume! What you’ll need: black turtleneck, leather jacket, smokey eye makeup, baby bangs optional.

Sagittarius: Diana Prince from Wonder Woman

via GIPHY

Even though we were disappointed to hear Wonder Woman 1984’s release has been delayed again, we haven’t stopped loving the hero, portrayed by Gal Gadot, who we met back in 2017. And Diana Prince exudes Sagittarius spirit! She is deeply curious about her world, optimistic and adventurous. Above all, Sag, she values freedom just as much as you. It’s a classic Halloween go-to costume for a reason!

Capricorn: Pennywise the Clown from It Chapter Two (2019)

via GIPHY

Truthfully, we haven’t stopped thinking about the It films, and we may or may not still do a double take when we pass sewers. Pennywise is all about instilling fear in its victims. Capricorn, you are represented by the mythical sea goat, which symbolizes courage. But what’s Halloween without a little terror? We figure at least, if you won’t give up your bravery, you could do the terrifying, and there’s tons of inspiring makeup online to choose from!

Aquarius: Member of the Heist Crew from Money Heist

via GIPHY

Aquarius, you’re a rebel with a cause! This is why the perfect costume for you this year is a red jumpsuit and Salvador Dali mask inspired by the heist crew from Netflix’s Money Heist. Aquarians are ideological and intellectual thinkers much like the Professor, the mastermind of the heists, and action oriented and passionate like the rest of the crew. Plus, you have to admit, there’s something a little sinister about those masks, making them just right for Halloween!

Pisces: The Bent Neck Lady from The Haunting Of Hill House

via GIPHY

Pisces, you’re famous for getting lost in your overactive imagination. As a child, Nell Crain from Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House saw vivid images too–haunting ones. This Halloween, make everyone see that ghosts are real with your rendition of The Bent Neck Lady – and while you’re at it, look out for The Haunting of Bly Manor
