Congratulations, you did it again. You waited until the absolute last minute to decide on a Halloween costume. Well, you are in major luck, because if you own a kohl eyeliner pencil (or Sharpie, if you wanna pull a Ross Geller), you can pretty much rock any one of these costumes in a matter of minutes. Steal one of these costume ideas so you’re friends don’t chastise you for your procrastinator tendencies (it’s a disease). After all, as Andre Johnson of Black-ish so cleverly put it, “Halloween is the only day of the year where you don’t have to be you.”
Ozzy Osbourne: Your take on the Black Sabbath front man will guarantee a laugh from your friends (major bonus points if you can nail down the “Sharoooooon…” line). Rim your eyes heavily with a kohl eyeliner pencil and smudge generously around your eye. Part your hair in the middle, muss it up a little, and rifle through your drawers for super-round spectacles. All black attire is a must.
Rosie the Riveter: Everyone from Beyoncé to Alexis Bledel has dressed up as rallying force Rosie. All you need is a red bandana, denim shirt, and a touch of red lipstick. Define your eyes with a no-fuss cat eye to add to the vintage effect. Don’t forget to go around saying, “We can do it!” to strangers. The perfect costume.
Margot Tenenbaum: Everyone’s favorite character from Wes Anderson’s iconic film The Royal Tenenbaums, Margot’s trademark kohl-rimmed eyes, sleek bob, and fur coat (don’t forget her super-secretive tendencies and love of bubble baths) is enough to give people the idea—and you won’t look like every other sexy Olaf in the room *shivers uncomfortably*.
Mustached Rachel from the Las Vegas episode of Friends: After she embarrasses Ross on their flight to Vegas, Ross takes advantage of a sleeping Rachel and draws a mustache and beard on her face—in practically permanent pen. Rachel however gets back at him, and before the episode is over, the two have drunkenly wed (Ross does loves his weddings). Wear your hair straight and parted down the middle, draw on a twirly mustache and beard (though, please, not with anything permanent), a shirt that says “Mrs. Ross,” and maybe a small bouquet of flowers. NO ONE can beat that costume.
