The fashion year’s hardest dilemma: what should I wear for Halloween? Although the buzz around Halloween is fabulous, it comes with a lot of pressure to look cool. Of course, as Cady Heron infamously says, "In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Whilst some girls take this Mean Girls quote as bible, others prefer to use Halloween as time to tap into their funny side and go full send on the costumes. Below, I’ve collected some of my favourite celebrity looks from over the years to give you taste of some sexy, silly, or spooky ideas for your Halloween ‘22 fits.

Sexy ideas

Okay, the wig might be a bit much for Greys club, but the dress is a great mix of cute and sexy. Kendall wore this in 2018 and I’ve been obsessed since. If you’re not into the metallic pants, you could always get a pink teddy dress that’s not see through. A nod to Austin Powers 60s fembots, this costume is a super sexy and quirky idea for Halloween.

For some other sexy ideas, I couldn’t resist choosing a selection of Kendall Jenner’s impressive Halloween costumes… for me she is the superstar of hot Halloween costumes and always my go-to inspiration!

Silly ideas

Arguably, Heidi Klum is the queen of absurd Halloween costumes. My favourite is this one from 2018; while I’m not expecting anyone to get green prosthetics, this one could be so fun with a quick trip down to Magic Box (if you don’t know, get to know). It’s above the Post Office on Northumberland Street, and always has a great stock of face paints and accessories. For other comical costumes that include a smear of face paint, think blue Smurf or pink flamingo. They’re actually really easy to do for an all-out effect whilst keeping budget safe, because the pots of face paint last forever.

A super fun idea for you and your housemates is the Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin duo. Here Kim K has done it with her kids as tigers, which is a brilliant way to get bigger groups involved. Let’s be honest, everyone and their mums watched Tiger King in lockdown, so you’ll get lots of laughs in the club. Another plus side of this costume is that you could quite easily pull it together last minute, with a tasteful animal-print piece or a drawn-on beard and Hawaiian style shirt.

Slightly unsure as to whether this should’ve been considered spooky (if you’ve read Attwood’s Handmaid’s tale you’ll know how haunting it is), but Jimmy Carr seems to somehow make it comical. The more the merrier with this one, it could be very effective seeing a gang of Handmaids strolling through Bigg Market.

Spooky Ideas

Addams Family is a Halloween classic, perfectly pulled off here by Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner in 2018. Even though I wouldn’t expect you to keep a straight face for the whole night out on the Toon, this could definitely be made spooky enough for the horror lovers.

David and Victoria Mitchell nail the spooky vampire/zombie, half-dead Halloween trope. Not too hard to achieve the look, and definitely re-usable for all your different Halloween events. There’s no way I could leave Mark Corrigan off this list, and I’m sure no blood will be shed as long as there’s turkey in time for Christmas…

So whatever you decide to be sexy, silly or spooky, I hope to see many a full-send out on Halloween!
