5 Halloween Costumes That Should Be Left on the Shelf

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Auburn chapter.

Every year there are a few Halloween costumes that anyone with a TV, Pinterest, and no creativity seem to rock during the festive week. Unless you want to find yourself in a “she stole my look” situation while waiting in line at the bars, it’s probably best to stay away from these cliched looks and rock something a little more unique!
 

Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke

Everyone and their mother, and brother, and maybe even their dog is going to be dressed up as this duo. It is funny and fairly easy to put together but lets be honest, it didn’t flatter her tiny figure and it most likely wont look great on you.
 

What Does the Fox Say

Well, you as the fox should definitely say no! With this song being annoying and catchy as it is, do you really want people walking up to you and yelling “Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!” in your face all night? Yeah, I don’t think so. 
 

Breaking Bad

With the series officially being over, the dynamic duo of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are easy to impersonate. Throw on a yellow jumpsuit and some goggles and call it a day! Add a beer for good measure and you have a college version that is equally as accurate. But again, it’s super easy to pull off. And you know how lazy those frat boys can be–it’s probably best to avoid this one. 

Pregnant Kim Kardashian

Looking like she just finished her performance at Sea World, Kim Kardashian’s Shamu impersonation will be the go-to outfit for girls looking to get noticed while avoiding the skimpy and slutty trend. Stuffing a pillow up your dress and wearing too-small heels is not a direction that you want to go, especially if you ever want a guy to look at you again. 

Amanda Bynes

This is not cute. No matter how much you want to pay tribute to “The Amanda Show” and your love of The Girls Room, Amanda Bynes’s fall-off-the-deep-end look is not something to celebrate. Please don’t encourage her to continue in this tear-jerking landslide of a career. If you feel the need to mourn her acting, dress as her in her prime, a yellow ball gown and white gloves from What A Girl Wants, or throw on a judge’s robes and honor her days as Judge Trudy.
