MakeupAladdin Sane

Among David Bowie's most notable looks was the Aladdin Sane(1973)album cover. It's so classic that it's even made its way to the big screen—Dakota Fanning broke out a more feminine version in The Runaways.

Floating Head

It's not every day you find a look that's quick, simple, and ripe with the Halloween creep factor. Just remember to keep the lights off.

Tina Belcher

If being perpetually awkward is your style, then this cartoon look is right for you. Just remember to drop your voice about ten octaves and have no game whatsoever.

Harley Quinn

Suicide Squadmay have tanked, but that hasn't stopped everyone from obsessing over Margot Robbie's manic Harley Quinn. Robbie is the newest "It Girl," and everyone's going to want to master this look.

HairRey fromStar Wars

The force is officially back, and with Rey at the helm! The newest badass in the galaxy is ultimate Halloween goals.

Daenerys

Sure, Dany Targaryen is stunning, but unlike most of the costumes we see around, hers has a personality, not just an idealized body.This approachable hair tutorial is sure to help you channel your inner Khaleesi.

Lost in Translation

It's a bit of a throwback, but Lost in Translationhas one of Scarlett Johansson's most memorable roles—seriously, who doesn't want pink hair? Thankfully, this look is super easy. All you need is to find a bubblegum pink wig, and Amazon is chock full of 'em!

OutfitLemonade Beyoncé

We've had tons of Bey-related obsessions since the legendary Lemonade dropped, back in April. The phenomenon of her video album will reign supreme for the foreseeable future, and her badass look from the "Hold Up" video is one of the best moments of the whole thing. All you need is a canary yellow maxi dress. Seriously, you don't even need shoes. You might want to bring along a baseball bat though, and your S.O.'s car. Have at it!

Eleven

If you're a Netflix junkie (who isn't?), you probably binged and fell in love with Stranger Things this summer. Even if your obsession with Eggo waffles hasn't been renewed, there's no doubt you have a sudden interest in all things '80s and telepathy. And, oh yeah, the awesome Eleven. You just need a pink dress with a Peter Pan collar, a blue jacket (a blazer or cardigan can sub), and white knee socks to rock her retro look. Don't forget red paint for the nosebleed!

Ilana fromBroad City

Now you can be the ultimate kween with just a jersey, booty shorts, a SnapBack and black lipstick. Yas yas yas yas.
