1. Men in Black

This costume, inspired by the science-fiction film Men in Black, is super easy to create. The only materials needed are black sunglasses, a black blazer or jacket, black pants or skirt and black shoes. For an extra special touch, order an inflatable alien from Amazon, or just add eyes to a green balloon!

 

2. Easy A

Emma Stone’s character in romantic comedy Easy A is another film-inspired, super cute Halloween idea. Just put on black leggings or pants, a black corset, black sunglasses and black heels, add an “A” made of red tape and hit the town!

 

3. Bob Ross

Painter Bob Ross, an iconic artist, makes for a very unique costume. To embody Ross, grab a blue collared shirt, blue jeans, a curly wig and glasses. Draw on a beard using face paint, and finish the look with a paintbrush and palette as accessories.

 

4. Velma

Another costume idea is Scooby-Doo character Velma. All this requires is an orange top, square-framed glasses, a red skirt, orange long socks and red shoes. To really complete the costume, sweep front pieces of hair to the side to give the look of bangs.
