Halloween is a crucial holiday for some people. They take it seriously. The excitement of planning a costume months in advance gives you a rush of adrenaline and something to look forward to later in the year. For others, however, it can fall to the end of their priority list. Has October 29th come around, and you still need a costume? If that sounds like you, don’t worry. You’re not alone!
Here are some DIY last-minute Halloween costumes that are quick and easy to put together but still very festive.
Halloween Costume Ideas
Black Cat
The black cat is a classic Halloween favorite and is a breeze to put together. Wear all black, add cat ears (which you can easily craft from cardboard), and paint on some whiskers and a little cat nose with eyeliner. Remember to perfect your cat-eye makeup for that extra feline flair.
Netflix and Chill
The phrase “Netflix and chill” has been used for years. It’s time to turn it into a costume! Dress in comfy loungewear, grab a Netflix logo (you can easily print one out), and make a simple “Chill” sign to hang around your neck. It’s a fun and silly way to show off your love for relaxation.
Serena Williams
Celebrate the incredible Serena Williams by recreating her tennis superstar look. Grab a tennis racket, a sporty outfit, and a visor cap. Complete the company with some faux tennis trophies for that winning touch. You can even take it further by carrying two baby dolls to signify her two children!
Hip-Hop Icon
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop by paying homage to the women who made the genre what it is today! You can combine iconic elements from Missy Elliott, Salt-N-Pepa, and Lil’ Kim. Incorporate bold and colorful outfits, oversized accessories, and a microphone. Create a mashup that represents the fierce spirit of hip-hop.
With these DIY last-minute Halloween costume ideas, you can have a fantastic and memorable Halloween without the stress of a last-minute costume scramble.
