Black hair is a real advantage at Halloween, because so many recognizable characters wear it and you can usually skip the wig altogether. A wig is hot, it shifts when you turn your head, and a cheap one sheds onto everything; your own hair simply looks more convincing. The characters below range from cartoon heroines and screen icons to classic witches and vampires, and each comes as a full outfit with clothing, hair, makeup, a prop and shoes. I've noted where your own length or texture can stay as it is, and where a quick pin-up or some smoothing gets you closer to the character.
Faking a Bob, Buns or Bangs Without Cutting
Plenty of these characters have a haircut you may not have, and you don't need scissors to get close. These are the tricks I reach for when the hair is the wrong length or texture for the character.
- Faux bob: roll the lengths under at the nape and pin them flat with crossed bobby pins, then smooth the top. It works best on hair that's shoulder length or a little longer.
- Fake bangs: clip-in fringe pieces are the easiest route, and they blend best when your own hair is smoothed over the clip. You can also flip the end of a high ponytail forward and pin it as a fringe, though that takes practice.
- Curly hair for a sleek character: you don't have to flat-iron everything. Defined, tidy curls with the right part and outline still read as Morticia or Yor.
- Straight hair for a curly character: braid damp hair overnight for waves that need no heat, or set pin curls for the flapper and Betty Boop looks.
- Height for Elvira, the beehive or the Bride: a foam insert or a hair donut gives you the volume without an hour of teasing.
Whatever you choose, practice once a few days ahead. A style that's quick on the second try can eat an hour on the first, and Halloween afternoon is the wrong time to find that out.
1. Wednesday Addams Costume With Black Braids
Wednesday is the obvious first stop if your hair reaches your shoulders or longer. A knee-length black dress with a crisp white collar and cuffs is the core, and a sleeveless dress layers easily over a fitted white button-down. The braids need a dead-straight center part, so I draw it with the tail of a comb from forehead to nape before braiding, then tie the ends with small black elastics. Keep the face matte, the eyes softly defined and the lip a muted berry. Black tights with flat loafers or lace-up ankle boots will carry you through a night of walking. A small headless doll or a black school notebook makes a dry little prop, and a fitted black blazer adds warmth without breaking the look.
2. Morticia Addams Costume With Long Black Hair
Morticia is mostly hair, so if yours is long, half the costume is done. The dress should be fitted and floor-length, and flared sleeves, a fishtail hem or a touch of lace all read as her. A high, square or softly draped neckline keeps it tasteful. Wear the hair sleek with a center part, falling over the shoulders. The hem is the one thing I'd check twice: take it up to just clear your shoes, or you'll step on it on every staircase. Contoured cheeks, smoky gray shadow, precise liner and deep red lipstick do the face, with pointed black pumps or low-heeled ankle boots. One faux rose or a small silver pendant is enough. If your hair is curly, define the curls and keep the center part rather than flat-ironing it all.
3. Mavis Costume With Black Bob Hair
Mavis is the easiest bob character to read, partly because the striped tights do so much of the work. A black T-shirt dress, or a fitted black top tucked into a short black skirt, makes the base, with red-and-black striped tights and red canvas sneakers or flats. Smooth the hair into a chin-length bob with side-swept bangs; a little styling wax on the fingertips separates and defines the ends. Light foundation, pink blush, dark liner and soft berry lips keep her youthful. Fangs are optional, and I'd pick the small kind that sits over the canine teeth rather than a full mouthpiece, which makes talking hard. With no cape, props or difficult shoes, this one is easy to wear all night.
4. Snow White Costume With Short Black Hair
Snow White works with short black hair as long as the bob has some curl at the ends. Pair a blue fitted bodice or puff-sleeve top with a flowing yellow midi skirt. Red ribbon at the sleeves and a small white stand-up collar are simple sewing jobs; I cut the collar from stiff interfacing covered in white cotton so it stands without wilting. Curl the bob softly and set a red bow headband near the crown. Rosy cheeks, defined lashes and bright red lipstick keep the face fresh. Yellow flats, red Mary Janes or low block heels all work. A small wicker basket of faux apples is a family-friendly prop, and a blue cardigan can stand in for the bodice when you want a closet-only version.
5. Princess Jasmine Costume With Black Ponytail
Jasmine's segmented ponytail is the detail people spot first, and it suits thick hair best. A turquoise cropped top with secure coverage and matching high-waisted harem pants is the classic outfit; a turquoise jumpsuit is the more streamlined swap, and a light draped overskirt adds coverage if you want it. Gather the hair into a low ponytail and wrap turquoise bands every few inches down its length, pulling each section out slightly so it puffs. Gold flats, small earrings and a turquoise headband with a faux jewel come next. Warm bronze shadow, bold liner and rose lipstick do the makeup. A little lamp-shaped purse is easier to carry than a prop. Heavy jewelry pulls on the ears over a long night, so I keep it light.
6. Wonder Woman Costume With Black Waves
This fan-made Wonder Woman is built from separates: a red fitted top, a blue pleated skirt and gold accents. A gold felt emblem goes on the bodice and small white stars on the skirt. Fabric glue holds felt well on cotton, but on stretchy or polyester tops I'd stitch around the edges, because glued felt peels as soon as the fabric stretches. Blue leggings or tailored shorts over opaque tights work if you prefer pants. Brush the hair into full waves with a side or center part. A gold headband, wide gold cuffs and a red cape make her recognizable, and red sneakers or ankle boots are kinder than tall boots. Glowing skin, defined brows, black liner and red lipstick suit her, and a small gold rope belt finishes it without any weapon.
7. Catwoman Costume With Sleek Black Hair
Catwoman is about a clean, all-black line. Start with a long-sleeve black jumpsuit, a fitted top with black pants, or faux-leather leggings, then add a structured black belt and a lightweight cat-ear headband. Sleek, straight hair under the ears is the classic look, while a low ponytail gives a cleaner outline. Cut a simple eye mask from black felt and hold it up to your face before finishing the eye holes, since felt masks almost always need the openings trimmed wider for side vision. Smoky eyes, sharp liner and a neutral lip suit her. Black ankle boots with a stable heel finish it, and gloves can come off indoors. I'd skip a tight bodysuit; the black clothes, mask and ears already say who you are.
8. Raven Costume With Purple Cape
Raven pairs dark hair with deep purple and a few small red accents. A black long-sleeve leotard over opaque tights, or a fitted black top with a comfortable skirt, is the base. The hooded cape does the heavy lifting, so make it knee- or ankle-length in deep purple, then add a red oval brooch at the neck with matching red details on the belt. Straight hair, soft waves or a shoulder-length bob all suit her. Purple-gray shadow, dark liner and muted plum lipstick look dramatic but stay family-friendly. Black combat boots or flat ankle boots are best, and a purple book-shaped bag replaces any prop. A heavy hood tends to slide back off the head, so I sew a small comb into the inside front edge to grip the hair.
9. Shego Costume With Long Black Hair
Shego's split green-and-black design is bold, and long straight hair suits her sharp style. A fitted black jumpsuit, or black leggings with a long-sleeve black top, is the base. Bright green panels run down one side of the body, one sleeve and the opposite leg; I cut them from stretch fabric and stitch them on with a zigzag so they move with the base instead of puckering. Green gloves and a matching belt balance the design. Keep the hair long with a sharp side part, or add smooth waves for movement. Green liner or metallic green shadow goes with otherwise neutral makeup, plus black platform sneakers or flat combat boots. Glow bracelets give a playful green effect with no wiring at all.
10. Violet Parr Costume With Black Headband
Violet Parr is built from everyday clothes: a red long-sleeve shirt with black leggings or fitted black pants, and a simple yellow-and-black felt emblem at the center of the shirt. Add black gloves, tall black socks and red sneakers or flat boots. Her long hair hangs straight under a wide black headband, loose over the shoulders or tucked behind the ears. Felt is the more comfortable mask for most people, though skin-safe black face paint around the eyes works if felt irritates; either way, keep every edge off the eyelids. Neutral makeup under the mask is enough. Because it's warm and easy to move in, it suits school events, family parties and chilly evenings outdoors.
11. Edna Mode Costume With Black Bob
Edna Mode suits short hair with blunt bangs better than almost any other character here. A structured black tunic or shift dress over opaque black leggings gives you her shape, especially with a wide collar, sculptural sleeves or a slightly flared hem. Oversized round black glasses and red lipstick are her signatures. Straighten the bob and turn the ends under with a round brush, keeping the bangs smooth across the forehead. Black loafers, platform flats or low ankle boots keep the outline compact, and a cropped black capelet adds warmth. A measuring tape around the neck and a small sketchbook make fitting props. Round frames are easy to thrift; I pop the lenses out of anything with a prescription so you can see properly.
12. Velma Costume With Dark Bob Hair
Velma comes almost entirely out of a closet. An orange turtleneck and a red pleated skirt at whatever length you're comfortable with, orange knee socks or opaque tights, and red Mary Janes or flats are all it takes. Style black or very dark brown hair into a chin-length bob with soft bangs. Large square glasses matter most, and they should have clear nonprescription lenses so you can see safely. Peach blush and a warm neutral lip keep it natural. Carry a magnifying glass and a small notebook. For cold nights I put a thin thermal top under the sweater rather than a coat over it, because once the orange and red are covered, nobody can tell who you are.
13. Mia Wallace Costume With Black Bob
Mia Wallace turns a black bob with blunt bangs into a costume made from normal clothes. A crisp white button-down, buttoned comfortably with the sleeves rolled to the forearm, goes with slim black trousers or cropped cigarette pants and black flats, loafers or low heels. Straighten the hair and curve the ends slightly in, keeping the fringe blunt and tidy; a quick pass of the flat iron over the bangs alone makes a big difference. Matte skin, defined brows, black mascara and deep red lipstick do the face. A small retro handbag or a restaurant menu is a harmless prop. Since it's ordinary clothing, it's an easy pick for offices, college events or a last-minute invite.
14. Holly Golightly Costume With Black Updo
Holly Golightly needs a polished black dress and a tidy updo. A sleeveless or short-sleeve midi with a straight silhouette is easier to move in than a full-length gown. Long black gloves, a layered faux-pearl necklace and oversized black sunglasses are the signature pieces. Sweep the hair into a high bun with short bangs or soft face-framing pieces, and slide a small jeweled comb into the front of it. A high bun holds far better with a foam donut underneath, and on fine hair I'd always use one. Winged liner, rosy cheeks and soft pink lipstick keep it refined, with black kitten heels or pointed flats. A structured mini handbag beats food props, and a fitted black coat keeps the monochrome going outdoors.
15. Betty Boop Costume With Curled Black Hair
Betty Boop is quick if your hair is already short and curly. A knee-length red dress with a sweetheart, square or scoop neckline can be fitted or gently flared. Finger waves or small defined curls should sit close to the head. I set them with a strong-hold gel while the hair is damp and let them dry untouched, which stops the waves frizzing. Thin arched brows, long lashes, rounded red lips and a little blush give her face without turning it into a caricature. Add a gold bangle, small hoops and a red or gold clutch, with red Mary Janes, black pumps or low dance shoes. A light red cardigan keeps it wearable on a cool night.
16. Amy Winehouse Costume With Black Beehive
The beehive is the centerpiece here, and it takes more pins than most people expect. Start with a fitted black dress, a patterned mini over tights, or a black top with slim trousers. Backcomb the crown in small sections, pin it, then smooth the outer layer over the top so the teasing doesn't show. A wide fabric headband or a small flower sits at the front. Her winged liner is essential, so extend it outward and check both sides in the mirror at eye level before you commit. Neutral lipstick and soft blush balance the eyes, and black flats or low pumps keep you comfortable. Carry a vintage-style microphone, and keep the tribute to her stage style, hair and music rather than anything personal.
17. Cher Costume With Long Straight Black Hair
Long, center-parted hair is all you need for a 1970s Cher-inspired look. Wear a sparkly long-sleeve top with high-waisted flares, or a flowing patterned maxi with dramatic sleeves; silver, black and jewel tones catch the light. Flat-iron the hair until it's smooth and glossy, with a heat protectant first, and let it fall down your back. Shimmering shadow, long lashes, bronzed cheeks and a glossy neutral lip suit the era. Platforms or block-heel ankle boots give the right silhouette, but walk around the house in them before the night. Large hoops and a handheld microphone finish the stage look, and a sequined jacket adds warmth without hiding the hair.
18. Selena Quintanilla Costume With Black Waves
A Selena tribute should center her stage fashion and her music. The purple embellished top with matching high-waisted pants is the outfit most people know, so choose secure pieces you can move in; a purple jumpsuit makes a good one-piece swap. Style the hair in long, full waves with plenty of shine and a lifted crown, which I get by rough-drying the roots upside down before curling. Defined brows, black liner, warm blush and a rich red lip suit her. Silver hoops and a sparkly microphone carry the performance theme, with white sneakers, silver boots or low purple heels. A cropped jacket with black pants gives you a casual concert version. Celebrate her confidence and style rather than imitating physical features.
19. Princess Leia Costume With Dark Hair Buns
Leia's side buns turn dark hair into the focal point of a very simple costume. A long white dress with full sleeves and a high neck is the base, and a white choir robe, maxi dress or oversized tunic over white leggings makes a fine DIY version. Part the hair in the middle and coil one bun over each ear. On long hair the buns get heavy, so I braid each side first and then coil the braid, which holds its shape far better than a twisted section and needs fewer pins. Hairnets in your own hair color keep stray ends tucked in. Defined lashes, peach blush and natural pink lips keep the face clean. White boots or silver flats, a slim silver belt and a small tablet-shaped bag finish it, and toy blasters can stay home.
20. Trinity Costume With Short Black Hair
Trinity is a sleek all-black costume that suits a short haircut. A long black coat, fitted black shirt and straight black pants make the outfit. Faux leather adds shine but traps heat, so I'd use ordinary stretch trousers if you'll spend the night at a warm indoor party. Style the hair into a smooth side-parted crop or chin-length bob. Narrow black sunglasses are part of her look, but take them off in dim rooms and on stairs. Matte skin, strong brows, subtle liner and a neutral lip keep the face minimal. Sturdy black combat boots or streamlined ankle boots and a small black crossbody bag round out the head-to-toe black without any props.
21. Lydia Deetz Costume With Black Bangs
Lydia suits black hair with short, textured bangs, and the spikier they are, the better. A layered black dress with lace, sheer sleeves or a tiered skirt goes with opaque black tights and lace-up boots. Pull the hair into a messy half-up shape and twist the bangs into separate points with a little pomade. Light pale foundation, plum shadow and muted berry lipstick keep her artistic rather than frightening. An old-fashioned camera or a black sketchbook is the prop. For her red wedding look, choose a long red tulle dress with matching gloves, layered over an opaque slip so it isn't see-through. Floor-length tulle catches on everything, so I hem it to ankle length for a party.
22. Elvira Costume With Voluminous Black Hair
Elvira's look comes down to huge hair and gothic glamour. Choose a long black dress with flared sleeves, a fitted waist and a slit only as high as you're comfortable with. Lace panels or silver details add texture without needing a plunging neckline. Tease the crown into a tall rounded shape and leave the lower lengths flowing down your back. A little dry shampoo at the roots before teasing gives the backcombing more grip, so the height lasts until midnight. Smoky shadow, bold liner, sculpted cheeks and bright red lipstick do the face. A silver costume ring and a faux-stone pendant are enough jewelry, with black pointed flats or block-heel boots underneath. A black hand fan makes a fun prop, and this toned-down version keeps her silhouette while staying easy to wear in public.
23. Kiki Costume With Red Bow
Kiki is simple, comfortable and a natural fit for a short bob. A loose navy or deep purple knee-length dress with short sleeves and a gathered shape is the outfit. The big red bow headband sits above the bob, and I stiffen a fabric bow with spray starch so it doesn't droop by the end of the night. Keep the hair natural and slightly tousled, curved in at the ends. Rosy cheeks, light lashes and pink lip balm are all the makeup she needs. Red flats or canvas sneakers echo the bow. A small woven shoulder bag, a light decorative broom and a plush black cat peeking out of the bag finish it, and tights and a cardigan go on easily when the weather turns.
24. Sailor Mars Costume With Long Black Hair
Sailor Mars works with long black hair worn straight, center-parted and falling freely behind the shoulders. Start with a white sailor-collar top and a red pleated skirt, then add a purple chest bow, red collar trim and a small gold accent at the center. The sailor collar makes or breaks this costume; if you're sewing one, interface it so it lies flat instead of curling up at the points. A simple red headband and red stud earrings finish the hair. Clean liner, rosy lipstick and a touch of red or gold shadow suit her. Red pumps are recognizable, but red flats or ankle boots are easier for a long event. White gloves are optional, and a small star-shaped purse adds a magical note without bulky props.
25. Yor Forger Costume With Black Hairband
Yor pairs sleek black hair with a black dress and gold accents. Look for a sleeveless black midi with a halter neckline or a fitted bodice and flared skirt. The gold rose hair ornaments are her signature, and I glue them onto a wide black headband instead of pinning them into the hair, so they sit straight and come off in one piece. Leave two long sections framing the face and gather the rest into a low half-up style. Use red shadow sparingly with sharp black liner and a rose lip. Opaque tights and knee-high flat boots are far easier to walk in than thigh-high boots. Gold earrings and a small structured clutch are plenty, and skipping weapon props still leaves her very recognizable.
26. Yennefer Costume With Black Curls
Yennefer suits naturally wavy or curly hair, worn glossy with a center part and lots of volume. A fitted black top goes with a long black skirt or tailored black pants, under a black coat, cape or cropped jacket trimmed with white faux fur. Faux fur sheds at the cut edges, so I shake trimmed pieces outside and go over the edges with a lint roller before sewing. Softly smoky violet eyes, defined brows and a muted berry lip give her face. A black ribbon choker with a star-shaped silver pendant is her key accessory. Black riding boots or lace-up ankle boots go underneath, and a small book or drawstring pouch replaces weapons. The heavy textures make this a warm pick for a cold night.
27. Black Swan Costume With Dark Bun
Black Swan gets its drama from texture, makeup and a polished bun. A black ballet-style dress with a fitted bodice and layered tulle skirt goes over opaque tights or leggings. Pull the hair into a tight high bun and secure it with a black feathered comb or small jeweled headpiece; a fine hairnet over the bun stops pieces escaping. The silver and charcoal winged shape around the eyes is the key, with neat edges kept well away from the waterline. Pale pink or berry lipstick finishes the face. Black ballet flats are the sensible footwear for standing for hours. Feathered wrist cuffs or a light black shrug add a little more, and I'd leave large wings out of it for a crowded party.
28. Glam Vampire Costume With Black Waves
A glam vampire shows off long, shiny dark hair better than almost anything. A burgundy velvet dress, a black blouse with a flowing skirt, or tailored black pants under a dramatic red cape all suit it. Smooth waves with a sharp center part, smoky eyes, defined brows and a rich berry lip set the tone. A touch of highlighter on the high points gives a cool, moonlit glow without covering your natural skin tone. Add a black ribbon choker, an ornate costume ring and small fangs if you like, with black ankle boots or pointed flats you can dance in. I'd keep this theatrical rather than gory and skip fake blood, which also stains velvet. A red velvet handbag carries the essentials and matches the cape.
29. Classic Witch Costume With Black Hair
A classic witch is the simplest way to let your own black hair become part of the character. Wear a long black dress with puffed sleeves, a defined waist and a full skirt, plus striped tights in purple, green or black and white. Set a wide-brim pointed hat over loose waves, braids or a low ponytail. Big hats blow off at the first gust, so I sew a length of black elastic inside the brim to run under the hair at the nape. Purple shadow, winged liner and plum lipstick are friendlier than green face paint. Buckled ankle boots, a small broom wrapped in ribbon or faux flowers, and a velvet cape or cardigan for warmth finish it. Whimsical details rather than ritual or frightening ones keep it easy to wear to family events.
30. Black Cat Costume With Cat Ears
When time is short, a black cat is the fastest costume on this list. Pair a fitted black top with black jeans, leggings, or a flared skirt over opaque tights. Add a velvet cat-ear headband and a light fabric tail; I safety-pin the tail through the waistband from the inside so it doesn't drag the pants down. Wear the hair down in loose waves, in a high ponytail, or in two small buns beneath the ears. Draw a small black nose and fine whiskers with skin-safe eyeliner, plus subtle smoky shadow and pink lipstick. Black sneakers, loafers or ankle boots keep it practical, and a bell choker or silver collar necklace adds the last detail. Add reflective trim if you'll walk outside after dark, since an all-black outfit disappears at night.
31. Dark Fairy Costume With Black Curls
A dark fairy feels enchanted without any scary makeup. A black or deep purple dress with a layered chiffon skirt and fitted velvet top goes over sheer tights and black lace-up boots. Defined curls, a loose braided crown or a high textured ponytail all suit it. Keep the wings small and close to the body, because wide wings bump other guests and catch in doorways. Purple shimmer on the lids, small silver gems at the temples and a berry lip keep the makeup soft. A headband of black fabric flowers and silver leaves adds height, and a tiny lantern-shaped purse or a bundle of faux flowers is the prop. It's a gentle look for all-ages parties.
32. Medusa Costume With Black Snake Headband
Medusa lets braids or curls become part of the snake headdress. A flowing green maxi, a draped black-and-green gown, or an emerald top with a long pleated skirt is the base. Weave lightweight rubber snakes through a crown-style headband rather than tying them into your hair; I fix them on with thin florist wire so they can be bent into curves and stay put. Arrange braids or curls around the snakes for a full, textured effect. Gold cuffs, a metallic belt and leaf earrings go with green liner, gold shadow, soft scales at the temples and a neutral lip. Gold sandals or flat ankle boots go underneath. Keep the snakes small so the headpiece stays light, and carry a round metallic clutch as a shield-like accent.
33. Bride Of Frankenstein Costume With Black Updo
The Bride of Frankenstein makes a tall updo the star. A long white maxi with full sleeves is the base, with strips of white gauze or soft fabric wrapped around the arms and waist. Build the hair up around a light foam insert and pin it securely. The white streaks are the tricky part on very dark hair: washable white color needs a few light coats to show, and it can flake and transfer, so I keep the white shawl off until the streaks are completely dry. Gray shadow, strong brows, defined liner and deep berry lipstick go with a natural complexion instead of stitches or wounds. White flats, silver shoes or low white boots and a shawl draped over the shoulders finish this non-graphic version.
34. 1920s Flapper Costume With Black Bob
A flapper suits short hair, and longer hair can fake the length. Choose a knee-length fringe or beaded dress in black, silver, emerald or burgundy. Set a bob into smooth finger waves, or fake a short cut by rolling longer lengths under and pinning them at the nape. A jeweled headband across the forehead, long faux pearls and small drop earrings set the era, along with smoky shadow, thin brows, rosy cheeks and a dark red lip. T-straps, Mary Janes or low dance heels, a small beaded purse and a faux-fur wrap for a cool evening finish it. Beaded dresses are heavy and their threads snap, so I check the beading at the hem before wearing one. The dress, hair and jewelry tell everyone the decade without any extra props.
35. Gothic Doll Costume With Black Pigtails
A gothic doll works with any texture, from straight to braided to tightly coiled. Wear a black dress with a white collar, puff sleeves and a full knee-length skirt, with white knee socks, striped tights or opaque black tights, and Mary Janes or lace-up boots. High pigtails, low braids or two curled ponytails tied with black ribbon bows give the doll shape. Rosy circular blush, precise liner, long lashes and a small berry lip shape do the face. I'd leave out cracked-skin effects so it stays cute rather than unsettling. A small black handbag or plush toy is the prop, and a lace-trimmed cardigan adds a layer that suits the vintage feel.
White Streaks and Color Sprays on Very Dark Hair
A few looks here call for color on black hair, from the Bride's white streaks to bright accents for Medusa or Sailor Mars. Temporary sprays and chalks behave differently on very dark hair than on light hair, so plan for it.
- Light shades sit on top of dark hair rather than tinting it, so white, silver and pastel sprays need two or three light coats, dried between each, to look solid.
- Spray in a ventilated room with an old towel over your shoulders, because the mist settles on everything nearby.
- Expect some transfer. Keep white collars and shawls away until the color is completely dry, and avoid leaning back on a pale sofa.
- Wash it out the same night. Most temporary sprays come out in one or two shampoos, but they can leave hair dry, so follow with a rich conditioner.
Undoing a Beehive, Buns and Backcombing Gently
The night ends with a head full of pins and teased hair, and how you take it down matters more than how you put it up. I pull out every pin first, counting them if I need to, before touching the hair at all. Then I work a little conditioner or detangling spray into the teased sections and comb them out from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb, one small section at a time.
Never brush backcombed hair dry from the roots, because that's how it snaps. If you flat-ironed or curled heavily for the costume, give your hair a few days off heat afterwards and sleep on a satin pillowcase or in a bonnet, which helps natural curls and coils hold on to their moisture.
Your Haircut Has Already Picked a Costume
The easiest way to pick from these is to start with the length and texture you have this week. A blunt bob points straight to Edna Mode, Mia Wallace or Velma, while long waves lean toward Morticia, Cher or a glam vampire. Braids, curls, ponytails and big updos open up the fantasy, superhero, anime and vintage looks. From there, adjust the shoes, layers and neckline for comfort and for the event. Well-made clothing, carefully done hair, simple makeup and one prop people recognize will carry you through the night with no wig at all.
