Halloween 2023 is rapidly approaching and everyone knows that this holiday is meant for dressing to the nines. In case costume planning slipped your mind, we have some last minute ideas lined up for you. Don’t you worry, we wouldn’t let you tackle this spooky season without some Maggie Villamaria recommendations. Here’s what is on the roster, using items you can find in your own closet:
BARBIE
You’re a Barbie girl, in a last minute world. Open up your closet and grab anything pink! What pink items you style, though, depend on which Barbie you are channeling…
For the classic Barbie look, we would opt for pieces like:
Women's High-Rise Metallic Flare Pants - Wild Fable™ | Target
Nothing can go wrong with pink on pink, it is the epitome of Barbie. Feathers and metallics are all the rage this season — let everyone at your Halloweekend function know that you are the star of the show.
Aislin Cami, Song of Style | Revolve
Another idea is a matching set. A pink co-ord and a slick back pony is the chef's kiss. You own the color pink, act like it!
If your alter-ego for the night is business Barbie, make a statement with an item like:
You mean business, Barbie! Be the boss that you are because no one puts this doll in her box. This hot pink blazer is a show stopper. It would be paired perfectly with THE COLE HEART NECKLACE IN ROSE as well as the PINK MANOLO PHONE CASE to spice it up a little. Add a mini skirt and some pink tights to complete the look.
Depending on how warm it is from where you are reading, go for the 1950’s beach Barbie:
SPARKLE DEMI CUP ONE-PIECE, Good American
Anything gingham, and pink of course, screams vintage Barbie looking to catch some rays out in the sand. New Yorkers, sadly our beach Barbie time has passed… but you know what they say, Autumn is the best season for fashion.
To finish off your Barbie look, any pink heel and mini pink accessories will do. Here are some of our favorites
C’mon Barbie let’s go party!
COWGIRL
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER, One-shoulder printed tulle tank | Net-a-porter
Pick out whatever top you’re feeling, whether that is a printed one or even a plain white tank. The cowgirl essence can be captured in any shirt of your choice… it’s all in the attitude.
For bottoms, denim is your only option. Jeans, mini skirt, midi skirt, maxi skirt, shorts — whatever you’ve got works.
These boots were made for walking… and dancing! Dance like nobody's watching, all night long, in the most comfortable pair of shoes you will ever wear.
Livingston Men & Women's Woven Straw Cowboy Hat w/Hat Band, Amazon
Last but certainly not least, snap into cowgirl character when you put a hat on your head. This is the cherry on top to an adorable outfit.
And for a touch of MV, add: THE SIGNATURE GOLD HEART NECKLACE or THE AMALFI VINYL BEAD NECKLACE IN CORAL with, of course THE CHUBBY ORGANIC HOOP EARRINGS IN GOLD.
You’ll be saying YEEHAW all night in this easy peasy costume!
CARRIE BRADSHAW
The it girl of all it girls, the crème de la crème, the icon. Sex and the City would be nothing without the blonde curls, cigarette smoke, and raunchy journalism that is Carrie Bradshaw. Here’s the MV guide to be CB for the night:
Hanes Women's Cami with Built-in Shelf Bra, Stretch Cotton Camisole, Adjustable Straps | Amazon
To begin, all you need is a plain light pink tank top.
UO Tulle Tutu Mini Skirt, Urban Outfitters
Then, dig deep in your closet — all the way back to your little girl days — in search of a tiered tutu. This is the most important aspect of this look.
For accessories, add a plethora of ode-to-Carrie pieces such as:
Miss Bradshaw would appreciate the simplicity of this MV necklace paired with such a symbolic outfit.
A Manolo printed notebook has Carrie Bradshaw’s name written all over it. Don’t forget a pencil to jot down your Halloweekend escapades, as this icon would certainly do!
Complete this outfit with these adorable mules, or any other pair you’ve got. Everyone knows that Carrie isn’t picky when it comes to shoes, she loves any type of heel.
A Vogue in hand and some besties by your side, this year’s Halloween is going to be your best one yet!
See everyone? No need to stress over this couture holiday. The chicest costumes can come straight from your own closet, MV told you so!
Happy Halloween 🎃
