AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

You’re artistic, funny, and not afraid to embrace a crazy look – the perfect costume for you will be something that shows off your creativity and gets a few laughs. 

One example that would definitely suit you is HARLEY QUINN. This costume may sound intimidating, but it’s easier than you think! All you need is a powerful makeup look, pigtails, and a baseball bat, and you will rock every picture. 

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

You’re romantic, kind-hearted, and consistent – the perfect costume for you will be something beautiful and timeless.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

You’re bold, ambitious, and up for a challenge – the perfect costume for you will be something that takes everyone for a surprise.

One example that would definitely sut you is a CELEBRITY. Any celebrity that you like will do – whether they be a pop star like Lady Gaga, or a media personality like Kim Kardashian. A matching wig and sunglasses will really help sell the costume.

One example that would definitely suit you is AUDREY HEPBURN. This costume can be created with just a few simple pieces – a pearl necklace, some elbow length gloves, a black dress, and a bun, but would look expensive to everyone else.

You’re spontaneous, high-spirited, and hoping for a strong reaction – the perfect costume for you will be eye-catching and iconic. 

One example that would definitely suit you is REGINA GEORGE. This costume could be taken a couple different directions, since Regina is so iconic. You can go for her classic look with all pink, or go for something a little more daring, such as her bunny Halloween costume, or her Santa costume for the Winter Talent show.

You’re thoughtful, perceptive, and want something that represents your vibe – the perfect costume for you will be a character that you relate to. 

One example that would definitely suit you is a DISNEY PRINCESS. Any princess would create a beautiful costume, and could spark nostalgia. To add some personality, you could always modernize your princess of choice, using a similar color palette and style, but interpreting it how you desire. Add a tiara, and it’s perfect.
