The Best Taylor Swift Halloween Costumes

VMAs Taylor

Taylor kills it at every red carpet she goes to and this houndstooth set is no exception. This look is not only comfy, but easy to DIY too. We swapped the joggers for a skirt but you pick whichever you like best. (Via Brit + Co)

"You Need To Calm Down"

Our favorite part about this costume is that each piece can be worn outside of Halloween. We know that retro 'do looks a bit complicated so here's a tutorial to help you out.

"Delicate"

Dance the night away in a flapper-esque tassel dress that Taylor would definitely approve.

Lover

The more color, the better, as far as we're concerned. Grab some glittery pink makeup to make a heart around your eye and if you're feeling adventurous, copy Taylor's dip-dye blue ends!

Grammy Taylor

We can't all get a designer dress but we can DIY one! There are a couple different ways you can do this. Try gathering a mini skirt, a tank, and a maxi skirt in similar shades of blue and then cut a slit in the maxi skirt so the mini can peek through. Or you can grab what you need in white and dye it to ensure it's all the same color. Don't forget the magenta heels!

Artist Of The Decade

From the glitter to the color combo, this look has to be in our top ten Taylor outfits. Entertainment Editor Chloe grabbed a gold sequin dress and pink cape for her Halloween costume! The only other things you need are a belt, gold boots, and red lipstick.

"Bad Blood"

Go solo or make this a group costume to turn heads at your Halloween party. (via Brit + Co)

Folklore

Take your love for Taylor's music to the next level with an on-theme album cover costume.

1989 (Taylor's Version)

Pay homage to this album — and its rerecording! — with any outfit from her 1989 world tour. They're all uh-maze-ing! We're obsessed with this sequin jacket.

70's Chic

If you're all about the 70s, grab a few pieces in the Midnights color palette that you can rock to work Monday morning and still want to wear once Halloween ends.

"You Belong With Me (Taylor's Version)"

Taylor's "Junior Jewels" shirt is easy, comfy, and a must. Add all your BFF's names to complete it.

We're Feelin' 22

If Red (Taylor's Version) is your favorite album of all time, then you MUST grab a pair of heart sunglasses and an "A Lot Going On At The Moment" teeand sing your heart out. Bonus points if you can absolutely rock a fedora.

Taylor Swift Eras Tour Costume Ideas

"All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)"

We'll be the first to admit this song title can be hard to get right. But you know what's easy to get right? The costume Taylor wears while performing. All you need is a red sparkly duster!

"Illicit Affairs"

We haven't been able to stop thinking about the "August" to "Illicit Affairs" transition since Taylor's first concert in March of 2023. A flowing gown in purple (or cream, green, or blue) is a super easy Halloween costume you can rewear any time of year.

Fearless (Taylor's Version)

For Taylor Swift's golden era, grab a shimmery, tassel set (or that same dress from the 2019 AMA's costume) that will turn heads! Hair toss optional, but encouraged.

Midnights

The Midnights segment of the Eras Tour features a shimmery, bejeweled bodysuit in navy blue. Opt for a plain bathing suit (since they're not designed to need something overtop the way a bodysuit is), and if you're feeling artsy, cover it with rhinestones! If you're up for the challenge, we'd recommend using a needle and thread over glue to make sure everything stays secure.

Tortured Poets Department

The newest addition to the Eras Tour has insane visuals — and a memorable white gown with script all over it. All you need is an A-Line dress and some fabric paint markers.

It doesn't get more twisted than this!

Harley Quinn Costume

You can choose to buy or DIY this look, or do a little of both (which I recommend). Think about time versus money for each piece and then decide what’s best for you. I will say that the wig, shirt, choker, glove, tights, and holster were super clutch to purchase. I did some finessing to make them look even more authentic.

For the rest of the look, I got items that were close, and then made the pieces I couldn’t find, like the shorts, shoes and various accessories. You can get the full lowdown on how I made the Harley Quinn costume here. Either way, once you build the look (hair and makeup included), simply get into character. I found this oddly natural for me to do (it’s one of those costumes that takes you there, ya know?!).

Joker Costume

Believe it or not, all I had to purchase here was the maroon shirt, which I found at a thrift store. Zane owned the rest and your boo probably does too. This look is really about the makeup. You can get the full Joker tutorial here.

How to Be the Villainous Power Couple

Depending on your mood and the type of party you’re attending, you can bring along some fun accessories. The trick to this look truly is getting into character. Zane had way too much fun with this knife! Yikes.

The perfect amount of crazy, sexy, and weird all wrapped into one look!

Bring on those playful lovers’ quarrels throughout the evening!

What Are Boo Baskets?

Boo baskets are Halloween or fall-themed gift baskets typically filled with candy, seasonal decorations, and fun crafts that you can surprise your significant other with to celebrate the season. While videos of this trend usually show people giving their baskets to their “boo” (pun intended), it’s not limited to just your partner. You can also make one for your friends, your parents, your kids, or even your pets if you wanted to!

What Do You Put In a Boo Basket?

Just about anything can go in a boo basket! If you’re creating a basket that’s specific to your loved one’s interests, the possibilities of what you can include are endless. But based on countless TikTok videos and Instagram reels posted about this trend, the general formula for a basket that I’ve noticed includes a cozy item, a mug, a fall-themed drink mix, snacks or candy, a stuffed animal, and (of course) a basket big enough to fit everything!

First, The Basket

Technically, any big basket or container could be used to hold your boo basket items. However, if you’re the kind of person that likes to go all out when gift-giving, I would recommend a Halloween-themed basket like the Andemie Halloween Collapsible Organizer from Amazon. Not only does this basket come in multiple colors and patterns, you can easily flatten the basket and store it anywhere you want, so you can reuse it next fall.

Candles, Body Care, Sweaters & More … A Cozy Girl’s Galore!

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to getting all relaxed and comfortable, especially on a chilly, rainy fall day. Personally, there are three essential elements to my lazy days – an oversized sweater, some gourmand scented body care, and a candle that makes my entire apartment smell like walking into a bakery. If this sounds like you, here are some of my favorites.

This sweater from the LoveStitchesCo shop on Etsy has quickly become a staple to my “lounging around” outfits this season, and for a good reason. For only $26, this sweater is made out of 100 percent cotton, has a wide size range available (S to 3XL), and can be customized to whatever color you’d like. Plus, the embroidered design is absolutely adorable; who doesn’t love ghost kittens?

As the weather gets colder, many people (like myself) opt to swap their perfumes and scented lotions from fruity and tropical notes to warm and edible notes like vanilla, caramel, honey and chocolate. If you’re looking to spoil your boo basket recipient who likes these kinds of scents, Sol de Janeiro recently released a limited edition body cream in one of their best-sellers, Cheirosa 71. Fragrance notes of caramelized vanilla, white chocolate and toasted macadamia nut will have you smelling like a snack (literally), while moisturizing ingredients like macadamia seed oil and tucumã butter will keep your skin feeling silky smooth.

If you’re a candle lover, then you already know that the best place to find candles for every season is at none other than Bath & Body Works. Sure, there are plenty of pumpkin scented candles to try, but if you’re looking to include something in a boo basket that screams fall, Autumn Chai is the perfect option. This three-wick candle has notes of cinnamon chai, French vanilla, and caramel – a great combination if you’re looking for something cozy, but not too overwhelming.

Drink Mixes

Hot chocolate is one of the quintessential cold weather beverages, but if you want to be more creative with your drink choice, Target’s Favorite Day brand has a spooky-themed hot cocoa mix that would be a great addition to your boo basket. One box comes with two cocoa mixes and a marshmallow confetti mix shaped like beakers you can find in a science laboratory, and when combined with warm milk, changes to an orange or green color. How cool is that?

And Of Course, A Mug To Match

You got the perfect fall drink for your boo, but what mug would go with it the best? At this stage, I think this is where you get something that is the most personable to your boo basket recipient. You could include a mug that matches their career or their favorite hobbies and interests. If you want to play it safe and stick with a Halloween theme, this 15 oz ghost mug from Target is spook-tacular!

Plushies Make Everything Better

Who says that stuffed animals are just for kids? Not only are they fluffy and come in all shapes and sizes, giving a stuffed animal to your loved one is one of the best ways to show that you care about them. As a plushie connoisseur, my go-to pick for a boo basket would be any plush, like this pink llama from Warmies. Each cuddly buddy is lavender-scented and also serves as a microwaveable heating pad that can be used to relieve stress or soothe muscle aches and pains.

Don’t Forget the Candy

No Halloween basket would be complete without candy! From chocolates to gummy worms and sour WarHeads, there are so many options to choose from that it can seem overwhelming to pick just one. And if your boo basket recipient has any dietary restrictions, it can be even more difficult to find something that fits that person’s needs. My twin sister has been vegan for almost five years, and before we both moved out from our parents’ house, these dark chocolate coconut bars from Unreal were a staple snack for the whole family. Not only are these bars certified vegan and gluten-free, each bar only contains three grams of sugar and three ingredients – coconut, cassava syrup and dark chocolate. As someone who isn’t vegan, trust me when I say that when you try these, you won’t want to go back to the name-brand chocolate.
