Nina (Black Swan)

All of you ballerinas-gone-goth can have an edgy costume as easy as 1,2,3.

What you’ll need:

• Tutu
• Black Eye-liner for Signature Eye Makeup
• To Set Yourself Apart: Smash some red lipstick under your nails, then scratch your back.

Degree of Difficulty: Easy as First Position.

Edward Cullen (Twilight)

Are old school vampires too scary for you? Want something undead and brooding but not so dour? Add glitter!

What you’ll need:

• Vampire Teeth
• Tub of Body Glitter –  Twilight vamps sparkle, you know!
• To Set Yourself Apart: Hit on girls that are way too young for you. It’s very Edward.

Degree of Difficulty: Easier if there’s a Claire’s Accessories near you.

Olive Penderghast (Easy A)

With this high school Hester Prynne you get to go the traditional scantily clad costume route while condemning slut shaming!

What you’ll need:

• Black Bodice
• Big Red “A” to Attach to Bodice
• To Set Yourself Apart: Healthy Dose of Sass!

Degree of Difficulty: Easier than Olive!

Scott Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World)

My bet is this Michael Cera character will garner more costume homages than Paulie Bleeker – and that’s saying something!

What you’ll need:

• Vintage / Ironic / Band Tee
• Wrist Bands
• To Set Yourself Apart: Carry a flaming purple katana! Failing that, carry pocket full of change – the remnants of your defeated foes!

Degree of Difficulty: Easy enough for a slacker to manage.

Dom Cobb (Inception)

So it’s the day of Halloween and you’ve hemmed and hawed and still failed to come up with a costume. Well, this one’s for you!

What you’ll need:

• Suit
• Spinning Top
• To Set Yourself Apart: Wear your best DiCaprio scowl.

Lady version: Wear a Sexy Dress and Suffer Violent Mood Swings Throughout the Night.

Degree of Difficulty: It’s the easiest thing about Inception to figure out.

Hope this helps.

Happy Halloween!
