In a world of cats and bunnies for Halloween, dare to be different! Put down the $5.00 cat kit and get creative with your Halloween costume ideas! Here are a few of my ideas for last minute, DIY Halloween costumes. Party AnimalEveryone (or maybe just myself) has a ridiculous amount of animal print clothing in your closet. For this costume, you will need leopard/cheetah print clothing. The key to making this costume successful is pairing together as much leopard/cheetah print together to make a gaudy, party animal look! Beyoncé as seen in her Formation VideoFor this look, you will need a black dress. My dress can be worn on or off the shoulder, just as her dress in the video. Stack several silver necklaces ontop of one another to recreate her iconic necklace. Lastly, add a large oversized fedora out to mimic her now iconic Formation pose. Braid your hair in two long plaits to complete the look. The key to pulling this look off successfully is by nailing her video look, that way you won't need to do something silly like...blackface. The below costume ideas are bonus ideas that I unfortunately did not have all of the proper accessories to create the look, and half of my wardrobe is back in Kansas. CatwomanThis costume is incredibly simple! All you need is a black jumpsuit, or a pair of black leggings and a black tank or top. Add a pair of heels, or thigh high boots, and complete the look with a pair of cateye sunglasses. The party store sells a pair for a Catwoman costume for about $5.00. Cookie Lyon of EmpireThe key to pulling off this costume is being over the top. I would create this costume by wearing a pair of highwaisted, skinny jeans and a dressy top, such as one that ties in the neck. Add a knee length faux fur, or real fur coat, and a pair of thigh high boots. Animal print boots will best create the perfect Cookie Lyon costume. Top off your look with a large fedora hat, and adding a ton of accessories. Of course I won't be wearing any of these costumes, or else I wouldn't be sharing the idea with you 😉
