Be ever so sensational like the drama-loving “Euphoria” cast
Season 2 of “Euphoria” was the show that took social media by storm this year! Wherever you looked, you couldn’t escape the iconic looks from each episode.

Perhaps, focus on outfits from the show’s most memorable scenes to get into the mood.
Go back in time like you are going to an elegant Bridgerton Ball
As the show’s second season came out this year, balls and other themed parties have started appearing everywhere. Not all of us have been so lucky as to attend, so what better time than Halloween to take our turn at wearing our best gown and dress up as if they were to be the diamond of the season for those who haven’t had their chance to attend a glamorous Regency Ball. With friends, find your most beautiful 1800s-inspired dress, your most dainty gloves, and your most elegant jewelry to turn your Halloween party into a glamorous Regency Ball.
Capture some nostalgia like your classic 80s movies
If you and your girls are looking to go for a classic 80s costume, dressing up as the Heathers from Heathers is the perfect group costume. All you need are checkered blazers, pleated skirts, and lots of hairspray for that 80s poof. If you’re looking for a comfy and laid-back costume, dress like the boys in Stand By Me. Focus on baggy t-shirts, jeans, and baseball hats. Or, you can go to a galaxy far, far away this Halloween and dress as Star Wars characters. Wear a long robe and a belt, grab a lightsaber and throw your hair up in some space buns to channel Princess Leia’s classic up-do.
Celebrate your inner vampire or werewolf spirit like the Twilight cast
Have your group of friends take a trip to the rainy days and mysterious nights of Forks, Washington with a collaborative costume that honors the Twilight cast. Channel your inner broody teenager and seductive vampire by dressing up as Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the Cullen family. Focus on wearing clothes that capture the early 2000s fall style such as love sleeve henleys, skinny jeans, and flannels to mimic the characters’ signature looks from all five movies. Get even more creative by adding fangs and colored contacts to really elevate the costume. And, what better way to end your Halloween night than with a Twilight movie marathon?
Travel to the Upside Down like the “Stranger Things” teens
Channel the spirit of the 80s this spooky season and become everyone’s favorite Netflix crew: the “Stranger Things cast!” Bring out your inner metal head this Halloween as Eddie Munson with black combat boots, edgy rings, and of course, a denim jacket. Or if neon colors and high-waisted jeans are more your style, become Eleven this Halloween with an 80s-inspired outfit. Make an adventure with your friends by dressing up as your favorite characters together and relive your favorite memories from season four. Amp up the vibes of the 80s by taking some Polaroid pictures together while posing in your costumes!
