This costume is so creative!! I love it when I come across a costume idea you don’t see everywhere. This costume requires some minor DIY for the popcorn headpiece. Other than that you only need clothing with red and white stripes.

Carrie is a great last-minute Halloween costume that looks super hot!! If you don’t know, ‘Carrie’ is a horror movie by Stephen King about a high school drama. To recreate this costume, you can use a silk dress from your closet or buy an inexpensive one on Amazon. Additionally, you need a fake blood kit!

This article on Elle.com explains how to get the Carrie make-up for your costume right!

OK this black swan costume is my FAVORITE ever, and If you’re into elegant Halloween costumes, I’m sure it’s yours too. Natalie Portman in Black Swan is iconic! The look with feather choker, black tutu, and gorgeous black crown is simply unparalleled.

I thought recreating this costume would be super expensive, but it isn’t that bad!

For a super cute and easy college Halloween costume for girls, cupid is a great option to go for!! Especially if you want to wear clothes you already have. This costume is also great for twinning!! Must-haves for this costume are a pink or coral dress, angel wings, and a bow and arrow prop.

Pink cowgirls and space cowgirls: nobody quite knows what these costumes are about, but they’re CUTE and popular. You need a cute pink dress, white boots, and a cowgirl hat of choice for a pink cowgirl costume. I love this black hat with a belt buckle.

This Post Malone costume made me LOL because it’s so good!! You need an oversized checked shirt for this look, plus a black face stick (or eyeliner) to recreate these tattoos. For the finer tattoos, you’re definitely going to need eyeliner.
