Dress Like T. Swift At The Grammys For Halloween

by Emily Lackey

Taylor Swift stepped out in some amazing looks during 2016, but in order to dress like Taylor Swift in 2016 for Halloween, you kind of have to pick one of them. For me, the most iconic look was definitely color-blocking brilliance at the 2016 Grammys. That was, hands down, a perfect look, and conveniently, also a totally easy look to emulate during Halloween. Throw together some clothes, grab a few tongue-in-cheek accessories — of course, no Swift costume would be anything without a few references to the kind of year the singer had, because 2016 was a big year for her — and you're good.

Of course, you can have your pick from the many things that were oh so Swift this year. You could include your own squad in the lineup. You could go full Hiddleswift, too, with American flag clothes to match. Or, you could make a reference to her break up with Calvin Harris that might just get your whole party talking. But, if you ask me, these are the only things you’ll need to dress like Taylor Swift in 2016. Thankfully for all of us planning to go as this costume this year, the items you’ll need are relatively affordable and can easily ship to your door in a matter of days. So, bless the internet and bless Taylor Swift in 2016, because this is going to make one heck of a Halloween costume.

Unless you're a blonde from birth, you’re going to need a wig to really pull off this look. Thankfully, there are really affordable options out there, like this one from Amazon for $12.99. So cute, right?

I haven’t worn a tube top since 1998, but I get it. Everyone is these days. If you have one lying around, all the better — but just in case you don’t, skip the satin designer stuff that Swift likely buys and go for this one for $2.99 (!!!) from Amazon.

Again, snaps to you if you already have something like this in your closet. You’re one step closer to Swift glory. But, just in case maxi skirts aren’t your thing (some of us are short!), here’s one for $15.99 from Amazon.

A Tom Hiddleston Life-Size Cut Out

Now, the above clothing items alone will definitely put you in full on Swift territory. If you put that ensemble together, most people will get the picture. But, if you are willing to put a little bit of accessorizing into your outfit (and a little bit more money), I highly encourage you to include in your costume this life-size cut out of Tom Hiddleston from Amazon for a cool $78.21.

The good news is that, after you win your party’s costume contest, many of these items are reusable — except the Hiddleston cutout, I guess, but I don't know, I guess you could cart that out to dinner once in a while if you want.
