Be a Fashion Icon at Your Halloween Party

While you can definitely be too old to trick or treat, you’re never too old to dress up. I’ve rounded up my favorite fashion icon costume ideas to inspire you and let you know what you’ll need. These costumes are great, because you probably still have a few items hanging around in your closet that will work.

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s:

"audrey hepburn breakfast at tiffany's" "breakfast at tiffany's"

What you’ll need: A black shift dress, long black gloves, a jeweled headband, pearls, and a long cigarette holder.

Twiggy:

What you’ll need: a bright shift dress, dangly earrings, a short blonde wig, a lot of eyeliner.

Bonus: Here’s a tip on how to do your makeup:

Princess Diana:

What you’ll need: an 80s dress (preferably with a plunging neckline), a tiara, a bold necklace, a short blonde wing (I recommend going the extra step and cutting some 80s bangs on it).
