Looking for an easy, cheap Halloween costume that will make you look hip to 2025 culture at the neighborhood soiree? I’ve got you covered!
- Elphaba (Wicked Witch) from the movie “Wicked”—just add a green top, black skirt, and witch hat. 8 hours of green make-up not required. You aren’t really Cynthia Erivo, so relax. And for the love of all that’s holy, do not sing.
- Minecraft character—use a cardboard box and paint to resemble a pixelated head. Personal note: My dad LOVED constructing Halloween costumes out of boxes for me. Robot, cracker box, you name it. My sister was always something pretty like a ballerina. Not that I’m traumatized
- Jurassic World dinosaur wrangler—khaki shirt, vest, toy dinosaur, and a bandana. Even better if you get a friend to dress up in one of those blow-up dinosaurs with you. Those crack me up.
- Beanie Baby (yep, they are back!)—plain shirt, animal nose/headband, and a homemade TY heart tag.
- Mabel Mora from “Only Murders in the Building”—faux fur coat, red headphones, and yellow/beige outfit. Even if you don’t love the show, the clothes and apartments are drool-worthy.
