Last Minute Easy Halloween Costumes
Every year Halloween weekend sneaks up on us, leaving us unprepared for the three nights of costume craze. Yes, that does mean three different costumes for each night. Don’t be caught dressed up as a Space Cowboy, again. Skip the stress this year with Golden’s guide to easy and trendy costume creation. Achieve the best looks with the most minimal effort (and money!).
Kim Possible
Iconic and obvious but so easy. All this outfit requires is green puffy pants, a cropped black, long-sleeved shirt, and a fanny pack or big brown belt. Extra props if you bring your blonde haired guy friend and call him Ron, or if you carry a stuffed mole rat. You can also go the extra mile and buy a cheap orange wig. I have accidentally worn very Kim Possible eque outfits on very not Halloween days. It's unfortunate.
2. Veronica Sawyer from The Heathers
This Halloween, go for a post explosion-looking Veronica Sawyer with a cigarette in her mouth. The importance would be on the hair and makeup. Any ratty clothing would work. You could even be one of the Heathers with a red, yellow, or green blazer/peacoat and a plaid skirt. This also makes a great trio costume if you have that kind of squad.

3. Mia Wallace
Mia Wallace has recently saturated Halloween night. Major tip: do not be the person getting stuck being asked about Pulp Fiction with no knowledge. No one likes that person. All you need for this is a short bob black wig, white button up, black tight pants, and a hot red drippy lip! You may think you can do the black stilettos, but you can’t, don’t be unrealistic here. It’s Halloween.
4. Money Heist
This sounds comfy to me but the key is the Dali mask which you must prep in advance for. Other than that, a red jumpsuit is all you need. Make this sexy with an unzipped jumpsuit and a black top underneath. This look could be confused with the red jumpsuit wearing people from Squid Game and people may call you chuegy for not just going as a red jumpsuit wearing person from Squid Game. You have been warned.
5. Britney Spears
In celebration of the recent positive turn on Britney Spears conservatorship case, go as Britney this Halloween to show your support. Your Britney costume items will be useful in the next coming months as Y2K prevails as the best and newest party theme. Britney also has a multitude of looks to choose from. For example, an easy recreation of the Hit Me One More Time music video could be as simple as a black skirt, white button-up tied high on your stomach, covered with a gray cardigan. All of these items could be cheaply thrifted if they are not already in your closet.
6. Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala
Ah yes, the look of looks. You all know the one I am talking about. As some would say, be a dementor this Halloween, why not? This timeless look would only require skin-tight black clothing covered with an oversized black t-shirt. You would obviously need a full face black ski mask and some sort of 4 foot long, jet-black ponytail attachment as well. This outfit is also extremely COVID cautious, always a plus.
7. Viola Hastings as Sebastian from She’s the Man
To Achieve the most iconic look ever simply borrow your best frat boy or Carlson buddy’s suit and purchase a brown short hair wig. This costume is superior and will bring all the amazing nostalgia back for a great Halloween night. If you run into a human who is not sure who you are and has never seen She’s the Man, you must cut them off immediately.
8. Squid Game
No, I refuse to watch shows just for the hype; so, I have not seen Squid Game. I also refuse to let my ego get the best of me and fail to cover what could be the year's easiest and most recognizable Halloween costume. Since we already covered the red jumpsuit crisis, let's focus on your costume creation for a player. Basically, a green tracksuit would ultimately do the part and have you ready and comfy for Halloween night.
9. Mr. Worldwide
For more of a humorous and most definitely not sexy Halloween costume, purchase that bald cap that’s been on your Amazon wishlist and be Pitbull this Halloween. Why not? Naturally, you will need a cheap pair of aviators to seal the deal. Extra points if you go all out with a suit, but I am confident people will get the idea without it. A portable speaker with Pitbull’s top 10 on shuffle would be a great accessory to bring to any party.
10. Aquamarine
Another great Y2K tribute costume featuring the completely underrated t-shirt dress. Why did this look never trend? I also think this costume is a genius way to purposefully carry gummy worms around while you go out. Recreating Aqua’s blue hair streaks could be the key to mastering this look but a good, simple execution of the baby blue dress will suffice.
Bonus: The Rock
This is the costume you pull out when you are desperate-desperate. Like you woke up one morning and it just happened to be Halloween. I know every girl has the necessary ingredients to be The Rock already in her closet. Pull out your black turtleneck, jeans, black thick belt, fanny pack, and of course your silver chain and you are… The Rock. Come to think of it, I went as the Rock for Christmas one year
