Halloween Costume Inspo (Black hair)

Of course I have to start with our beloved high school horror queen, Jennifer Check. While everyone always defaults to her pink heart print hoodie, her blood soaked prom outfit is infinitely more dramatic. And if your goal is to look stunning while also looking like you just devoured a member of an indie rock band, this is non negotiable.

For the identical prom dress, search online costume websites or Etsy. For the heels check New Look or ASOS and for the gloves, leather bracelet and choker necklace have a look on Amazon!

If you want a look that is short, bold, and entirely classic, who could beat Betty Boop? She is the definition of flirty, retro glamour and her striking color palette instantly stands out in a crowded room. It is the perfect option if you want a costume that feels fun, confident, and lets you spend the whole night striking her signature winking poses.

To recreate her cartoon face, invest in a red lipstick, a deep red lip liner to emphasize a tiny doll like pout, and a heavy coat of volumizing mascara to get those spiky, wide eyed lashes!

Try Princess Polly, Oh Polly or PrettyLittleThing for the red bodycon dress, Pink Boutique or New Look for the heels and Amazon for the gold bandles, red garter and hoop earrings.

If you’re wanting a costume a little more intense and attention grabbing, Elaine Parks is the one for you. While you could go for her tea room look (which is just as iconic) her red outfit leans more into her dark, occult energy. Wearing this makes you immediately ready to read everyone’s future using a deck of tarot cards all night, while looking incredibly fashionable as you do so.

To recreate her makeup, use a frosted bubblegum pink lipstick, a pop of rosy blush on the cheeks, and a heavy, vibrant layer of turquoise blue eyeshadow framed by sharp black winged eyeliner!

Find a similar red longsleeve dress at ASOS, Ego or Oh Polly. For the red handbag try Etsy or Princess Polly. Check MAC for the blue eyeshadow and Amazon for the gemstone necklace and old rings.

Next up is the reality star diva and Malibu’s premier queen of drama, Raquelle. If your vibe is glamorous, fiercely competitive, and packed with main character energy, she is the obvious choice. Raquelle’s wardrobe consists of bold metallics, animal prints, and sharp, structured layers that scream absolute confidence.

To capture her look, invest in a glossy mauve or berry lipstick, a flawless matte foundation, a smokey eyeshadow, and a liquid eyeliner!

Dionne’s outfit is the absolute peak of 90s maximalism. Instead of sticking to a basic, safe schoolgirl outfit, she completely layers contrasting textures and adds that totally absurd top hat. It’s loud, high fashion, and it carries the exact energy of a girl who knows she’s the smartest (and best dressed) person in the room!!

Keep the glam very 90s with a rich brown or dark mauve lipstick, a hint of natural blush, and simple, lengthening black mascara.

You can find Dionne’s hat on Amazon. Find the red vest and socks at brands such as: Brandy Melville, Next and New Look. For the plaid skirt set try ASOS, Cider or Amazon and for the shoes check Dr. Martens and ASOS.

Amy’s signature performance outfit from her peak era completely defined mid 2000s indie music style. Instead of a neat or overly styled pop star outfit, she ruled the stage in a simple combination of a basic white tank top and short denim shorts. It is the perfect choice if you want a costume that requires zero uncomfortable layers but instantly turns you into an immediately recognizable legend.

To nail her trademark style, you must invest in a thick black liquid eyeliner to draw a massive 60s cat eye, a nude pink lipstick, and tease your hair into a sky high beehive updo!

Check Brandy Melville, Hollister and Levis for the tank top and denim shorts. For the red bra try Victoria’s Secret. For the hair flower check Amazon and Etsy. And for the heels search on Miss Diva or Miss Moda Luxe!

This outfit is high drama, late night perfection. Instead of a safe party dress, Maddy owns the hallway in a sharp, slashed out black matching set that looks like a piece from a runway show. If you want to look incredibly sleek, dangerous, and ready to kick down a bathroom door if anyone crosses your friends, you know what costume to choose.

To recreate her makeup, you need a deep mauve lip liner with a glossy brown lipstick, a flawless matte base, and a heavy layer of metallic silver glitter eyeshadow framed by an eyeliner wing!

Mia’s outfit proves you can make cinema history using basic wardrobe essentials. It trades the typical, complicated party costumes for a crisp, oversized button down that looks like you casually threw it on after a long night out. It is comfortable, incredibly easy to pull together at the last minute, and gives you a perfect excuse to dance the twist or order a five dollar milkshake at the party.

You’ll need a deep vampire red lipstick, a liquid eyeliner, and a perfectly smooth, jet black bob with blunt, straight across bangs!

As the resident banshee of Monster High, Scarah’s style is completely based in a retro aesthetic rather than just a basic spooky monster look. Her signature outfit creates a high contrast palette that immediately stands out. And all you need to do now is embrace your inner ghoul, and spend the night communicating entirely through “telepathy” when you don’t feel like talking to people.

Use white costume contact lenses to give yourself pupil less eyes, a swipe of deep teal lipstick, and a spiky black lower eyelash look!

Catherine Zeta Jones completely stole the movie during the fandango dance scene in this red and black dance costume. It drops the stiff, modest historical tracking of the era for a fiery, passionate silhouette. And it is an incredible choice if you want to look extremely breathtaking and regal.

The glam is classic, sultry, and intense. You’ll need a matte warm red lipstick, perfectly shaped bold arches for your brows, and a brown smoky eye with sharp black eyeliner!

Find the exact dress on Etsy, a similar shawl at Amazon, the heels at Jimmy Choo (or cheaper alternatives: New Look & Miss Diva). For the gold hoops and choker necklace, search on Etsy!

Unsettling, yet chic. Instead of going for a basic monster look, her outfit relies on this hyper tailored, classic mid century silhouette that balances a sweet, retro housewife aesthetic with something far more sinister. If you want to look stylish, creepy, and ready to offer everyone a pair of black buttons for their eyes, look no further.

For her makeup look, you’ll need a dark lipstick, an aggressively pale foundation base, and a precise black liquid eyeliner to give yourself perfectly neat, stylized cartoon brows.

Lydia Deetzs’ outfit leans entirely into 1980s theatrical excess. The layers of bright red tulle and the volume of the ruffles make it an incredible showstopper that completely dominates any room you walk into. It is the best option if you want to look dramatic, nostalgic, and about to accidentally summon a bio exorcist during dinner.

A pale foundation base, a smudged matte burgundy or taupe eyeshadow look around the entire eye socket, and a completely bare, nude lip.

Check Amazon for the red fishnet gloves and veil. Search on Etsy for similar creepy dolls, find Lydia’s dress on Amazon, and the shoes from Dr. Martens.

Nikki Freeman’s signature red and black zebra look is simple yet recognisable (especially since the movie has pretty much just come out). It’s a really good option if you want something not too dramatic while also looking threatening. If your goal is to channel modern femme fatale energy, this one is the one for you.

It’s clean, natural, and subtly sultry. All you’ll need is a nude lip gloss, a completely fresh complexion, and a touch of neutral brown shadow on the lids.

If your goal is to look completely elegant while holding absolute, chilling power over the room, the ultimate gothic matriarch is the only correct answer. Morticia Addams is the trend setter for dark, seductive glamour. And instead of a typical, generic witch costume, her look relies on a silhouette that makes her look like a piece of living art.

To recreate her makeup, use a pale foundation, a cool toned contour to hollow out the cheekbones, a dark grey smoky eye with a sharp cut crease, and a crimson red lipstick.

Jane’s style is all about that relaxed, casual grunge aesthetic. Instead of going for a flashy or uncomfortable outfit, she stays in basic, comfortable layers that look like they were casually pulled from a thrift store rack.

Use a dark plum lipstick, a smudge of black gel eyeliner along your lower waterline, and style your hair into a sleek blowout with thick, straight across bangs!
