7. Wednesday Addams
What’s more fun than dressing up for Halloween? Getting into character! The hit Netflix show 'Wednesday' is a top favourite this year. If you want to dress up as the daughter of the mysterious and spooky Addams family, you'll need a black dress with a white Peter Pan collar, dark hair in two braids, and her iconic dead stare look!
For Wednesday's dark academia look, put together a black school blazer with the Nevermore Academy crest, uniform shirt, tie, and black skirt.
8. Euphoria
Got no time or the dirhams to spend on an entire Halloween costume? Just use your existing nightlife wardrobe to pull off any of the Euphoria show's characters. Easy peasy.
9. Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid
Harness your inner Disney princess for Halloween! For the 2023 reboot movie, blue is the key whether you want to rock a sequined mermaid's tail and shimmery top, or Ariel's soft blue corset dress and headband while she was exploring the human world.

10. The Nun
If standing out is the goal, then The Nun is the solution. 2023 saw the return of the hit horror film "The Nun" with a hair-raising sequel. It's the perfect pick if you want to go all out in the scare factor for Halloween!
