With Halloween just a week away, finding last-minute costumes may be at the top of your to-do list. You may be browsing through celebrity looks that you screenshotted months ago for inspiration. Maybe you’re trying to put together a costume, makeup, and wig to get you through the night, or you’re searching through the warehouse to re-wear your look from last year. Either way, Halloween is the time of year when you can cosplay as someone or something other than yourself for the night; even if it means being a “sexy kitty” for the third year in a row.
Last year, Lori HarveyFirst, she was wearing a cat costume herself. In particular, she recreated a look from Beyoncé’s “Kitty Kat” music video: cheetah-print eyeshadow, coffin-shaped nails, and a high ponytail. Speaking of Beyoncé, take inspiration from her Toni Braxton look and dress like your favorite legend with a timelessly beautiful look. Plus, you can never go wrong with Disney princess beauty; Perfect to pair with little ones for trick-or-treating. Take a page from Nicki Minaj’s book last Halloween when she transformed into Cinderella with her blonde, bouncy updo, baby pink lipstick and sharpie.
Ciara and Saweetie opted for more than one look; Here’s a pro tip if you have a weekend full of events to attend. Ciara honored TLC with a photo shoot featuring all three members, while Saweetie paid tribute to Destiny’s Child members in a Bootylicious photo shoot.
