Girls:
Cher from Clueless
With plaid skirts and knee-high socks, you can’t go wrong! As Cher would say, “Classic!”
Cady Heron from Mean Girls dressed as an “ex-wife”
It was Cady that said “in girl world, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.” While this is true, Cady’s costume is one option that girls can go with that is just plain horrifying.
Sandy Olsen from Grease
This look can go one of two ways. Choose either Sandy’s look from the beginning of the movie – long sundress, innocently-primped hair and Sunday school sandals – or her look at the end of the movie – all-black ensemble of leather pants, tight top, red heels and curled hair. Either way, it’ll be a Pink Lady-worthy outfit.
Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman
Boots that go up to your knees, a curve-hugging blue miniskirt, a white cut-out tank and a short blonde wig are all you need to look like a hooker, AKA Vivian Ward. Don’t worry, by the end of the night you will have found your Edward Lewis, or at least will have made out with some hot guy. Either way, boys better be on the look out for the pretty woman walkin’ down the street!
Guys:
Danny Zuko from Grease
Girls aren’t the only ones who can take inspiration from one of the best movie musicals of all time. One of the original “bad boys” of movie high schools, Danny Zuko has the greased-back hair to prove it. Grab your leather jacket, get some white tape and you’ve got yourself a T-Bird costume. Welcome to the greasers group.
Indiana Jones from, well, Indiana Jones
Be the ultimate adventurer this Halloween with your very own fedora and whip. Note: this can only double as an S&M costume if Rihanna is singing in the background.
Austin Powers from Austin Powers
Excuse me, Austin DANGER Powers. Want to be a 60s swinger this October 31? Yeah, baby, yeah! That’s what we thought. Grab your blue-velvet suit, your ruffled shirt and male symbol medallion and you’re good to go. With this costume, the women will surely be asking “shall we shag now, or shall we shag later?” Oh, behave!
Jay from Men In Black
This is pretty much just an excuse to look damn sharp in a suit. Don’t let this opportunity to be the best-dressed guy in the room go to waste. No need to bring the neuralyzer with you, as it’s going to be a night you’ll never want to forget.
