Love couples costumes, but don’t have a man to go trick-or-treating with? Just take your best gal pal! You’ll have a great time doing the monster mash, and you can still rock that clever couple’s costume. Here’s a few of the best costumes for all you independent women who don’t need no man:
1. Cristina and Meredith from "Grey’s Anatomy"
Celebrate your friendship by dressing up as the ultimate best friend duo. Two sets of scrubs with long sleeves underneath will do the trick. Crazy curls are very Cristina, and a mid part, waves and a smise (smile with your eyes) screams Meredith. Don’t forget your Seattle Grace Hospital ID badge so people without Netflix will stop asking you, “What are you supposed to be?”
2. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
Overalls and a smile is all it takes to be America’s favorite sisters. Brightly colored tops underneath and matching scrunchies give added charm to an outfit that will transport you straight to the 90s.
3. Ellen and Portia
Nothing beats everyone’s favorite comedian and her beautiful spouse. For Ellen: jeans, converse, polo, blazer and a wig to top it off. For Portia: Maxi-dress and heels.
4. Sophia Grace and Rosie
The adorable duo made famous by Ellen is
easy to replicate. All you need is some
cute tiaras and the fluffiest tutu in the kingdom. Curly hair and a touch of lip gloss make you
and your bestie ready to hit the town. Bonus points if Rosie spends the whole night silent while Sophia Grace
doesn’t stop talking/singing/dancing.
5. Destiny’s Child
If your power duo is more of a trio, rock it out as Destiny’s Child (no fighting over who gets to be Beyoncé). Decide on a color, then design each of your outfits around that scheme. There must be at least one crop top, one jacket, one pair of flare pants and hoop earrings all around.
6. Elsa and Anna from "Frozen"
If a mutual love for all things Disney brought you two together, then showing up at a college Halloween party as the sisters from a popular children’s movie is for you. You must have basic braiding skills to rock this costume. Elsa needs a French braid and Anna needs pig tails. A long sleeved blue dress works best for Elsa. Though channeling your inner Anna is a bit more difficult, a turtleneck and maxi skirt get the point across.
7. Alex and Piper from "Orange is the New Black"
Are you the friend to bail BFF out of jail,
or end up right there beside her? You
can test the prison-wife lifestyle for a night without actually going to
jail. Khaki pants and tan colored short
sleeves over gray long sleeves make a prison-chic combo. For Alex, don’t forget the boxy glasses and
some fake tattoos.
8. Miley Cyrus and Miley Cyrus
Rock “the best of both worlds” as Modern Miley and Flash-from-the-Past Miley. For Old Miley, you can’t go wrong with a sundress, cowboy boots and pretty curls. New Miley can be achieved with a leotard, or crop top and spanks, with red lipstick and, of course, that quintessential hairdo.
9. Serena and Blair from "Gossip Girl"
Be the friends you wish you could be for a night. For Serena, go with loose waves and an animal print over a flowy yet fashionable outfit. Blair needs a perfectly matched headband to go with her super-prep skirt and top, paired with colored hose.
10. Lizzie and Isabella from "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"
This costume is “what dreams are made of.” Both girls need sparkle tops in their respective colors, flare pants, boots and bedazzled chokers. For extra star status, use a wire hanger and black pom-poms to make matching headsets. With this outfit, you’ll have the boys going, “Hey now, hey now!”
