14 Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas From TikTok
There are the people who start planning their Halloween costumes in July, and while we wish them and their scary-good 'fits well, this article is not for them. No, this is for those of us who want to dress up come October 31 but find it impossible to put together a costume more than a few days in advance. So, really, most of us.
Fortunately, TikTok is full of last-minute costume ideas that can be pulled off with items in your closet or an easy DIY. From throwback pop culture looks like Mia and Lilly from Princess Diaries and Mean Girls' Regina, Gretchen, Karen, and Cady to tried-and-true classics like a pirate or butterfly, the 14 TikTok-approved costumes ahead are ones you can pull together at the last minute (or very, very close to it).
