13 Villain Costumes Worth Wearing This Halloween

Take a ride on the wild side this year. Ditch the princess and knight in shining armor and go for the tricksters who have all the fun. There are your obvious choices, but don't rule out the more witty ones. It all comes down to how much explaining you want to do. Who will it be?

Poison Ivy: Wear your fiercest makeup and your best green unitard. Don't forget the red wig and crazy demeanor. (via Brit + Co)

The Real Housewives: Anyone can be a villain when they're coming from a place of insecurity. Don your best cocktail dress, and don't forget to make your face look like it was Botoxed. (via Brit + Co)

Cersei Lannister: Your most severe black dress, a pussycat wig, and a goblet of wine. That's all you need. (via Brit + Co)

Ursula: Who hasn't harbored petty feelings of jealousy before? Unleash your inner villainess with the sea witch. (via Brit + Co)

The Joker: Your man can wear the Jared Leto version or the Jim Carrey one. This take is more flattering, though. (via Brit + Co)
