It's Official: These Are the Most Iconic Halloween Costumes
We know you’re already starting to plan what you’ll be wearing for Halloween this year—since it's next week and all—and if there’s a chance you’re looking to wear something that everyone will recognize, we’ve got you covered. Sure, there are plenty of pop culture costumes you could be thinking up right now, but sometimes you just want to wear some truly iconic Halloween costumes, and we’re here to support your efforts.
Don’t get us wrong: We love having the most original (and sometimes obscure) ideas when it comes to Halloween, but if you haven’t already worn these cult-favorite costumes, why not go for them now? If anything, you won’t have to explain your ensemble to anyone, and that’s a huge bonus if we’ve ever heard one. Go ahead and don your Cher Horowitz plaids and rattle off your favorite lines from Clueless or put on those pearls and head to Tiffany for breakfast. When you’re wearing these iconic (and fashionable) costumes, you just can’t go wrong.
Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City
No one will ever forget this amazing tulle skirt Carrie Bradshaw wears in the opening credits, and they won’t forget your costume, either.
Nisi from B.A.P.S.
Plan on going all out this Halloween? You won't go wrong with one of the chic (and bold) looks from one of the B.A.P.S. characters.
Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction
This one is a no-brainer considering you definitely have a white button-down and black trousers sitting somewhere in your closet.
Sandy from Grease
We’ll never get tired of the final costume Sandy wears in Grease, one of the most tried-and-true Halloween costume ideas ever.
Cher Horowitz from Clueless
As fashion lovers, we’ll take any excuse to scream, “You don’t understand. This is an Alaïa!"
Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill
Gogo Yubari's school-girl costume is a classic look you can put together in minutes—just don't forget the mace.
Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl
If you’re looking for a chic and fashionable Halloween costume this year, you can’t go wrong with Blair Waldorf. Just don’t forget your headband!
Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog
If you love the old-school style from Disney's The Princess and the Frog, go as Princess Tiana this Halloween.
This dress has both an old-time feel while still feeling current.
Annie Hall from Annie Hall
Love menswear? Channel a complete Annie Hall outfit with a vest, trouser pants, and a tie.
The Girl from The Seven Year Itch
Who could ever pass up the opportunity to wear Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic outfit? We sure can’t.
Catwoman
If you're in the mood to wear an undeniably fierce Halloween costume, a chic Catwoman costume will do just the trick.
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's
If you love a timeless Halloween costume, there’s nothing like channeling Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. You’ll look chic all night long.
You’ll have a Halloween to remember in these iconic costumes.
