I’m going to a halloween party tn and want to carry a sword just for fun, but it seems like a lot of recognizable swordsman characters have short hair and I don’t really have time to get a wig. any ideas?
Maxine Minx is an easy costume to do, just paint your eyebrows blonde, use a little blue shadow and put on overalls!!
I have a pink dress similar to this one that I just received from a friend. I probably won’t have anything else to wear it to and I’m just taking my 11 year old brother out trick or treating. What can I be?
My girlfriend works for a company that has a massive themed Holiday gala every year. She's been there for 3 years and the first year the theme was "Secret Agent" most people there every year are dressed in their $1,000± suits regardless of the theme, but I took a risk and showed up in an Austin Powers costume and they loved it. Last year there wasn't a theme but I was just told this year was Mardi Gras. What are some good costume ideas for this? I was thinking of trying to find some shrimp costumes but ny girlfriend vetoed that. Any suggestions?
I am a Atlanta falcons fan and I have a Julio Jones Super Bowl 51 jersey that I haven’t worn in like 6 years.
Any ideas how I could make that a costume for a Halloween party tomorrow night??
“Pain” with fake blood or something “Eternal damnation” idk help me plzz
So we are going trick or treating in a few hours and I have no costumes.. What can I dress up as???? We are going trick or treating in like 1/3 hours so can somebody tell me?????
Any ideas for a sign themed party? Can be up to interpretation! Funny ideas encouraged.
I got a brown dress similar to this at the thrift store and was thinking about something like this. The shirt isn’t quite the same as what I have (mine is a button up long dress with the same sleeves and fabric as the shirt). I have florals and gold leaves and flowers at home so I was thinking something like ‘forest fairy’ or ‘nature goddess’, but Im fine with something easy like ‘peasant’. I think its also giving a little Pride and Prejudice brown dress vibe. Any ideas or recommendations?
My husband 19 and I F18 want to go clubbing multiple nights this halloweekend and we have only one costume which is me as a sexy racer and him as my pit crew.(it’s super cute don’t get me wrong) But, Im wanting to dress up as much as possible because we weren’t able to at all last year. We are also wanting to enter our first costume contest and don’t want to look ridiculous 😅 All of that aside, what are some good last minute risqué, relevant, and not overdone couples costumes that we could throw together? I’m also a DIY person so those types of costumes are great!!
I have all the paper I need to do the ears themselves. When I went to Walmart the other day they didn't have dog ears. I realized earlier today that I don't have a hard headband in my house, only the flimsy ones that bend to shape your head (tried to use 'em for a spirit day costume and it failed horribly).
I need help figuring out what to do for the headband part, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!! Thank you!!
So I decided to go to a party tomorrow night after work and it requires a costume to get in, the only problem is I have no idea what to go as (I was gonna go as Michael Myers but saw that the rubber mask alone at Spirit Halloween was like $70). Does anyone have any good ideas?
Also if it helps I'm 19, white, dirty blonde hair, and roughly 6' 1"
Plus, I do have a Beetlejuice suit I wore to a party last year that I could probably dig out, but I don't know if its still in good condition or not, so feel free to send any costume ideas you might have!
I need some costume ideas other then witch or vampire, or at least a way to make those more interesting. Here's what I have to work with green/black velvet cape, a black cape, a plain black dress, a black dress with a moon cutout on the chest, a black trench coat, 1 black and 1 white dress shirt, 1 black and 1 grey pair business casual pants. I also have paint, cardboard, and a printer.
My friend is hosting a scary costume party but she wants it to be things we’re actually scared of/our real fears like AI, aging, failure, etc.
I want to dress up as a fear of perception/being perceived but idk the best way to go about it.
Thoughts?
All in the title. I have a school thing next week (why it’s the week after Halloween I have no idea) but we have to wear Halloween costumes. My best friend and I want to do a costume together, but won’t have any real time to make something or buy too much. Ideas? (17F and 18F btw for context)
Edit: tysm for all the ideas! We’re thinking of going as Jedediah and Octavius from night at the museum! Will definitely be taking this inspo for future reference though
The outfit in the middle is what I have in mind. However should I use the blazer to look like a teacher/ student or should I wear a bloody apron to give butcher vibes. Any suggestions would be useful.
I'm planning on a doll like look with this top but I don't know what bottoms to wear. (Something to note is that I will be tucking the sleeves into themselves to create a short sleeve look so I can do ball joint makeup on my elbows). Would jeans work or should I get a skirt? Also if I get a skirt what style? Any help would be appreciated
Need ideas for the most retarded/funny/idiotic costume imaginable for a college party. 20m 5’8 average/above average build. Willing to go bald if the costume requires.
He looks like Johnny Bravo, so that's too obvious. His head is too big and he has too much hair for a bald cap. He wanted to be a bald character, but he can't find a cap to contain all the hair under his large head.
Any ideas for a big muscular college dude with a very full head of hair
Me (m35) My partner (f32), boy12 girl9 boy7.
We we're thinking the Adams family, what else could it be?
Joint hosting a party with the theme ‘who/what were you in a past life’ and i have no good ideas!
The ideas that have floated through my mind are: A rat 🐀 A slug 🐌 A star ⭐️ A moth 🦋 A stylish french cat 🐈 (theres a picture my friends used to tag me in, saying it looked like me) A witch 🧙
Has to been at least sightly self deprecating.
I am a 28 year old woman.
i need some funny costumes, i am a teenage boy and i will be riding an escooter so i can’t wear inflatable costumes, any ideas that lean in with the escooter or just something funny?
My work Halloween costume contest is Thursday! Wish me luck. I’m very happy with how it turned out.
Last minute scramble to find something good. My wife is making her own costume and it’s sort of hard to do a couple thing with so I’m looking for recommendations based on my general look so I won’t have to do too much. Open to making props, I made an Evil Dead hand chainsaw out of cardboard a few years ago. Not a big sports guy, I like movies and comic books and a general assortment of nerdy mid-30s dude stuff.
Most interested in what kind of shoes would make this more of a “hippie” look rather than just a hippie-inspired pretty dress! I’m also thinking of adding a denim vest to it as well
My job hosts a costume contest each year for Halloween. My department is doing goddesses (we’re all girls) and I picked Persephone. However I feel the dress I got is a little plain? Thinking of hot gluing flowers? Not sure where. I bought a belt too (not in photo). Any ideas welcome!
