Channel Emmy-award winner Zendaya’s character Rue with a bleached graphic tee, biker shorts and her classic burgundy sweatshirt. You’ll look euphoric (and comfy) all night along.
Pisces - Y2K

Channel your Aries energy with one of his classic looks—like his all-white, feathered tuxedo as pictured above—or create your own Elton John inspired aesthetic with a bold blazer, textured trousers, and of course, striking sunglasses fit for the celebrated songwriter.
Taurus - Enola / Sherlock Holmes
April 20 - May 20
With Netflix’s recent release of Enola Holmes staring Millie Bobby Brown, we’re seeing a resurgence of graceful gingham, layered suits, and bold British, vintage fashion this season. As a practical earth sign, the Taurus sign channels the cleaver-wits and creativity Enola Holmes portrays throughout the film—making it a standout choice for this year’s Halloween fit. Embrace your inner Holmes with a classic Millford coat, tweed cap and oversized magnifying glass. You’ll be sure to crack the case for this year’s most clever costume.

With the cottage-core trend springing up across social media platforms, this true corona-comfort aesthetic represents a recent push to return to a more simple life filled with nature, wholesome connections and whimsical wardrobes—essentially a Cancer’s dreamworld. As a caring and sentimental sign, Cancers enjoy calming experiences built in deep-rooted, caring connections between each other and the natural world, making a cottage-core fairy the perfect costume to represent your homebody personality. Pair a dainty floral dress with sparkly wings and hair-clips for a simple, yet adorable, last-minute costume.
Leo - Tiger King / Carol Baskin
June 21 - August 22
Channel your Leo energy this Halloween dressing as the most chaotic characters in modern television: Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin. Arguably the most dramatic sign, Leo’s love being the star of the show and energetically embrace their “king of the jungle” title. As feline-lovers themselves, Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin are truly the perfect choices for this comedic and captivating fire sign—and most of the costume can be found within your closet! Grab a friend and dress up as this dramatic duo with an animal print top, frayed denim, and accessories that best exemplify your favorite Tiger King character.
Virgo - Mia Thermopolis
August 22 - September 22
Mia Thermopolis, the Princess of Genovia, is a quintessential representation of Virgo loyalty, practicality and kindness. Down-to-earth yet diligent in her royal duties, Mia’s commitment to her kingdom reflects Virgo’s hardworking nature and intellect. Sport her schoolgirl-turned-royal style by combining a plaid tennis skirt with a chambray button down and smoothed locks. Or, toss on a ballgown should you wish to channel a more glamorous look (like queen Virgo herself, Beyonce).
With the world seeming more chaotic each day, we’re claiming Halloween as the perfect excuse to celebrate positivity and quality moments with friends and family. We hope you utilize this holiday season to celebrate the qualities that make each of us unique, including astrological signs—as silly as it may sound. However, if any of the other astrological signs captivate the aura you’re attempting to radiate this season, feel free to defy the stars and choose your own destiny for this year’s Halloween costume. After all, we have the power to manifest the energy we wish to see in the world around us.
Strike Out,
