To channel your inner Kris Jenner, opt for a head-to-toe, all black ensemble and accessorize with faux furs, handbags and oversized, black sunglasses. Just remember, you’re doing amazing, sweetie.
Sagittarius - Glam Cowboy
November 22 - December 21
Sassy and spunky, Sagittarius is an energetic fire sign with a passion for creativity and self-expression. With Jupiter as their ruling planet, Sagittarius lives larger-than-life and values freedom above all. Channeling your inner glam is the perfect way to express your Sagittarius energy—especially when it means following the likes of celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Kacey Musgraves with the western-chic trend this season. Let your creativity shine with bold patterns, bedazzled jackets, and of course, a spunky cowboy-hat to complete this glamorous western costume.
Capricorn - Mr. and Mrs. Smith
December 22 - January 19
Responsible and work-oriented, Capricorns know how to get the job done—just like partner-in-crime duo Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The 2005 action-packed film starring Brangelina (rest in peace) is the perfect representation of Capricorn’s boss energy. Grab your dynamic duo and choose the Mr. and Mrs. Smith look that radiates your Capricorn aura. We’re opting for a sexy LBD with an ultra-sultry stiletto or a classic black blazer paired with your favorite fake weapon of choice. With guns blazing, you’re sure to captivate your quarantine party with this throwback costume.
Aquarius - Rue Bennet
January 20 - February 18
With the Euphoria trend re-entering the fashion landscape, Rue Bennet’s iconic character not only emulates pure Aquarius originality, but also is unquestionably on-point. Rue’s effortless, tomboy vibe radiates the independence of this air sign, exemplifying the aesthetic that made Euphoria an instant style favorite. 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
February 19 - March 20
Pisces everywhere, get ready to pull out your bedazzled, low-rise jeans and vintage Juicy Couture sweatsuits—it’s time to go reminiscing! As a compassionate water sign, you continually live in a state of nostalgia, making a Y2K-inspired look the perfect vibe for this Halloween. Whether you’re channeling your inner Paris Hilton or simply living for a rhinestone hand-bag, the Y2K-aesthetic is an easy-to-achieve look that can be found in most closets—especially yours Pisces.

ARIES - ELTON JOHN
March 21 - April 19
Courageous and confident, Aries bring a captivating energy to anything they touch—especially when it comes to the fashion and artistic worlds. As an Aries himself, Elton John is arguably one of the most celebrated, creative trailblazers of his time, leading a life of glitz and glamour beyond gender-stereotypes and age. 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.
Gemini - monarch butterfly

Known for being adaptable and affectionate, Geminis embody the transformative duality shown in one of natures most captivating creatures—the monarch butterfly. Evolving from a simple caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly, monarch butterflies give flight to the gracious qualities of this air sign, representing freedom, curiosity and inner strength. Channel your inner social butterfly this Halloween with an elegant LBD paired with monarch wings that can be found at your nearest costume store. Top off the look with fluttery lashes and fake freckles for a trendy take on the duality of the Gemini sign.
Cancer - Cottage-core fairy
June 21 - July 22
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,
