For a killer Anna Wintour costume you will need a polished shift dress, tweed blazer, big tinted sunglasses, simple jewelry, and the her signature coiffed bob. This is the perfect costume for any who isn’t feeling particularly “costume-y” this year, but you can guarantee a chic costume that even those who aren’t as interested in fashion will understand (thanks to The Devil Wears Prada).

St. John, Tweed & Lace Jacket

Oliver Peoples, Emmy Square Sunglasses

Taking inspiration from Coco Chanel, all you need a white and black or tweed suit, pearls, tights, and a hat! Curl you hair and think old Hollywood glamour for your makeup. Obviously to make the look even better, if you can incorporate any really Chanel pieces would be ideal.

Another great idea for a costume this year is playing off of some of pop culture moments form the year! From major movie characters to notorious celebrity moments, this is a fun and trendy costume for halloween. If you want an easy costumer, go for Shia Labeauf “I’m Not Famous Anymore” look by just putting a brown paper bag over your head. A more chic option would be to be Maleficent by wearing a black cape, black turtleneck, leather leggings and her infamous horns. Or channel your inner Olivia Pope from Scandal, who always has incredible outfits and a fierce attitude to match.
