These Unique Celeb Halloween Costume Ideas Will Ensure You’re Not Just Another Cat Costume In The Crowd

When Halloween rolls around, some people turn to horror and gore for costume inspiration. But for me, the most exciting part of the holiday is that it offers an opportunity to try out an iconic, non-spooky style. I'm not about the scary stuff (and I'm sure I'm not the only one.) So, every October, I dig myself a pretty deep Internet hole, and go searching for the best celebrity looks to emulate for my Halloween costume.

From retro fashion looks, to free-spirited boho looks, there are so many styles to experiment with — especially if you're like me and wear mostly black everyday. Let Halloween be the one day that you let yourself really branch out. Try a style that's so unlike your own, your friends can't even recognize you. Try a look that's so not you, that it becomes a part of you after Halloween.

For instance: one year I wore a pair of glitter go-go boots and ended up actually incorporating them into my wardrobe. I basically used Halloween as an opportunity to test out something that I've always wanted to be cool enough to wear, and once I wore them, I felt like I could own it. So consider dressing up as a celebrity style icon this year who isn't afraid to wear what you are afraid to wear. Who knows — it might end up in your wardrobe, too:
