fashion icons for last minute halloween looks

by - October 31, 2017



Halloween is here and many of us still might not know what to wear tonight. Fear not, I have you covered with 5 different fashion icons that you can pull right out of your closet in no time with some classic wardrobe essentials!



1 - Audrey Hepburn aka Holly Golightly



This could quite possible be one of the easiest costumes to pull out of your closet. All you'll need is a simple sleeveless black midi dress, black pumps, and stacks of pearl necklaces. And if you happen to have some black elbow length gloves lying around, throw those on to complete this timeless look!




2 - Brigitte Bardot



This is probably one of my favorite looks of the collection, just because it's so classy and close to my style. Brigitte Bardot also had a timeless beauty about her. To recreate her signature look, just tease your hair to the sky and pin it half way up. Then pair a button up white blouse - something every girl should have in their closet - with a skirt, it can even just be a simple black skirt if you don't have a patterned one like mine and again a black pair of pumps. If you have a polka dot tie or scarf, that also completes the look even better!






3 - Coco Chanel



Another simple look but also a major classic, Coco Chanel! Literally all you need is a black long sleeve dress, black pumps, stack of pearls, red lipstick, and maybe a black hat to round out the look. Coco was the epitome of fashion and still lives on in classic style. No matter how far we may stray from the classics, there will always be a soft spot in each of our hearts for the little black dress.





4 - Marilyn Monroe



Really, who could make a list of fashion icons and not include Marilyn? This is super simple, so simple that I can pretty much almost guarantee that you have everything you'll need for this tucked away in your closet somewhere. All you need is a white dress, white open toed heels, and red lipstick. Seriously, that's it! If you're like me and have long hair, just curl it and pull it up into a side bun, and you're set.





5 - Twiggy



Ah, Twiggy. Some of y'all might know her, some might not. It all depends what age group you're in and/or if you're into fashion. If by some chance you've never heard of her, Twiggy was a fashion model with such a staple, iconic look. For this costume, you'll need to spend some time perfecting her signature bottom eye lashes, which some think she drew on and others think she used false lashes. I didn't have a lot of time for this shoot - literally changed in the car for each look - so my replica isn't the best. Twiggy had short hair, so just pull yours back into a bun like I did. Throw on a pink high neck dress, white '60s boots, a pair of chunky earrings - bonus points if you can find disco ball earrings - and maybe a leather jacket too if it's cold out like it was during this shoot!






There ya have it! Five iconic fashion looks that you can pull straight from your closet tonight and wow everyone at the party. It doesn't take much to be creative, just some photo inspiration, a look at your wardrobe, and trust me when I say you'll have your costume together in no time.

I hope you have a good and safe night out there and would love to see photos if you decide to use one of these costume ideas! While there is so much out there to fear, remember this as a time of fun, while staying cautious as well. We're told time and time again not to fear. So let's put our fears aside and live like the fashionistas we are!




So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
