Halloween Costume Inspiration from Your Favorite Models
Halloween is officially less than a month away and to say we've hit you with some costume inspo would definitely be an understatement. From how to dress like the kids of Stranger Things, to major Mean Girls inspo, and even ideas for all you lazy, last-minute peeps (me) and Halloween haters — it's safe to say we've hooked you up. But, if for some reason none of our options have sparked your interest, we're coming at you with even more. Because hey, we're nothing if not overachievers, OK?
This time around we're looking to our favorite models like Kaia, Gigi, Jourdan, and more — all of whom have aced the costume game in years past. The best part? Many of them are beyond simple to recreate. As in you likely have a lot of these items sitting in your closet. You know the drill — scroll through to find a costume that suits your Halloween style.

The lovely Alanna Arrington gave off major gothic-spidy-girl vibes last year when she rocked mesh tights and a top with web-like details. Oh and the black lipstick didn't hurt either.

Go the comfortable, low-key rout and channel your fave animal or — in Barbara's case — a ladybug.

The always-stunning Candice Swanepoel — or as we sometimes secretly refer to her: Candy-Swan — looked v. badass, not to mention stunning, last year in a skin-tight leopard suit and over-the-knee boots.

Constance Jablonski did a bomb job channeling the characters from Max Mad: Fury Road last year. Would anyone else consider rocking this skirt IRL?

When in doubt, throw on some head-turning makeup (see: glitter, for sure) and rep your favorite mag on your fingers? We sure hope you'd add the word 'Teen' to the other hand!

Geej looking like a major babe (as per usj though) last year as — who else? — but Sandy from Greece. Go grab your hottest leather pants, an off-the-shoulder black crop top and a leather jacket and you got this look on lock.

Rebel child vibes from miss Hailey Baldwin last year. It's amazing what a wig will do to change your look, no?

Never underestimate a pair of pink furry cat ears and an all-black outfit. We personally suggest a black bodysuit of your choosing and leather black leggings.

When a cat and a mermaid-alien become friends. If this photo inspires you to do anything, it should be to get yourself a pastel wig, stat.

Fun fact: model Laura Lyons is actually Lily Aldridge's mom. Cool, no? Anyway, Lils paid homage to her mom last year by dressing in the original outfit from one of her famed shoots.

Could Martha Hunt look any cooler as an intergalactic planetary girl? Or, you know, someone from the future, maybe? Whatever she was going for, it works. Grab yourself a silver getup and a fun-colored wig and it'll work for you, too.

Take a page out of Stella Maxwell's book and go for the wounded cheerleader thing. It's the perfect combination of cute with a hint of sexiness.

To look as rad as Suki Waterhouse, you'll need three things: a plaid, pleated pink mini skirt, a cropped blonde wing, and Barbie-pink glitter boots.
