Capricorn
No doubt you’ve heard this one before, but Capricorns really are ice queens. In the interest of reclaiming their name, who better to dress up as than the White Witch from Narnia? The ultimate Capricorn, the White Witch’s vendetta against the cutest lion on television is probably as iconic as her floor-length fur coat, and her determination and dominion over all aspects of her life should hit close to home.
Aquarius
Delightfully color-coded, Violet Beauregarde is the perfect costume for Aquarians! A reckless, rebellious, and rotund Willy Wonka victim, this girl plunges headfirst into any kind of challenge, just like you! Let’s just hope your fearlessness doesn’t get you in her kind of trouble.
Pisces
“Still the fish in the sea, never the catch!” This year, dive into the role of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, Emily. While we’re not encouraging you to embrace her level of ghostly devotion, it’s a hauntingly good costume choice for you Venus-ruled empaths. Fingers crossed that Venus herself favors you more than Emily.
Aries
Embrace your nature this year, Aries! Each sign rules a specific part of the human body, and yours happens to be the head. Embody this by dressing up as the icon Mike Wazowski. This little guy, who consists mostly of, you guessed it, his cranium, is the perfect choice and an even better solution to keep your personal space clear.
Taurus
With the resurgence of Y2K firmly upon us, it would be remiss to exclude this clueless menace from our list, so this Halloween, dig out your best clothes and become Cher! Tough and clever, just like you, this girl can do anything, although let’s hope that your GPA can make it through the fall semester without playing matchmaker for any faculty members!
Gemini
Geminis, double the trouble this Hallow’s Eve by embracing your two-faced charm! Team up with your bestie and become the spooky twins from “The Shining”. The blue-clad nightmares are the perfect way to showcase your duality and give everyone a real scare.
Cancer
This Halloween, embody your nature and dress as Nina Sayers, Black Swan’s star ballerina. Idealistic, empathetic, and intuitive, she is the best costume for those of you looking to put a spin on this year’s celebration.
Leo
You know who you are, Leo. Make sure everyone else does too by embodying the iconic blonde, Serena Van Der Woodsen! As much as we Leos like to play dress up, this one, comes from within. Her unique sense of style, innate confidence, and occasionally astounding self-absorption should require little dress up on your part.
Virgo
This year, Virgo, there is really no excuse to go as something ordinary. I present to you Neo from The Matrix! Perfect for you logical and quick-witted Virgos, escape convention, and dodge the “cliché costume” bullet!
Libra
For all of you wonderful Libras, Christine Daaé from Phantom of the Opera is the equally wonderful alter-ego! Let’s hope that unlike Christine, following a random masked man-singer into his house-crypt is not on your bucket list.
Scorpio
Scorpio, Scorpio. Have we been slacking on planning a Halloween costume this year? Not to worry, because the perfect character has been here all along: the Queen Bee and Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf. Determined, cunning, and smart, this typical Scorpio style icon needs no introduction and neither will you!
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, you’re always up for a good time which is why this next costume is your best bet. You have no better choice than Fleabag’s title star! Just like her, you are spontaneous, funny, and brutally honest. But if your friend gets a horrendous haircut just in time for Halloween, then just say “It’s French”.
