Get Your Costume Inspiration from These Cult-Classic Style Moments

As soon as fall rolls around, it's always time to plan Halloween outfits to surprise our fellow partygoers and look our best on the spookiest nights of the year. Celebrities have proven to be masters of disguise with extravagant costumes, as with model Heidi Klum, who multiplies her inventiveness each year. But, often, much of the non-famous population finds themselves wearing Halloween costumes that are tired, traditional, or just plain basic. Couldn't be me in 2019! L'Officiel has curated ten of the chicest fits from our favorite films, all of which have had elements show up throughout the fashion world and now are perfect for your next Halloween costume. Goodbye, overdone outfits of witches, ghosts, or sexy cats—with these, you'll be ready for a devilish couture party!

Simple yet haunting, Lawrence's classic white nightgown in Mother! is a perfect costume for horror and J-Law fans alike. Splatter some fake blood on your chest, throw your hair in a messy bun, and you're good to go. Show off your cinephilic nature while staying comfortable on Halloween night!

Fashion icon Diane Keaton can pull off anything. (It's true, look at her Instagram.) In Manhattan, the actress plays a brainy writer, Mary, who is rarely seen without a blazer and button-up. Pair it with a belt or a funky print to add a little flair to the corporate-chic fit.

Honestly, wow. This iconic bikini from From Dusk Till Dawn is sure to be a show-stopper at your next Halloween party. Throw on some gold jewelry, grab a fake snake (and probably a jacket), and you can shake it like Salma all night long.

The gold dress worn by Catherine Deneuve in Donkey Skin is a beautifully grown-up version of your childhood favorite princess dress (an aesthetic came back with Balenciaga's Spring 2020 show in a glorious maximalist moment). This luxe look is sure to sparkle at any party, and the puffy skirt means that you can dance with no restrictions! 

These all-black masterpieces are most definitely in my dream closet. From the fringe umbrella to her black bonnet, Hunter's look is easy to recreate with a dramatic dress, simple makeup, and all of your best black accessories.

Let them eat cake! (And Halloween candy.) The literal queen of the corset would make a perfect costume for those who want to go all-out this Halloween. Corset, wig, gloves, and all, Marie Antoinette has one of the most iconic looks in history. Dunst's version in the film is equally as stunning, bringing the 18th century to the 21st. 

In 2019's instant cult classic Midsommar, the cast shines in chilling, all-white outfits. The women of the Swedish cult dance, sing, and kill while clad in flower crowns and white flowy dresses, crowning Dani (Florence Pugh) as the coveted May Queen. Take your favorite white maxi dress and an elaborate flower crown and transform into a lady of Hårga.

Suzy, the tween adventurer in Wes Anderson's cult classic film Moonrise Kingdom, is one of the most recognizable and well-dressed characters in all of Anderson's films. Wearing her classic pink collared dress, Suzy treks around New Penzance with her friend and love interest, Sam, all in spectacular fashion. The easygoing yet put-together nature of it all looks a lot like the latest Chanel collection, and it also creates a versatile Halloween look.

The Roaring Twenties were one of the best times in fashion history, and with the next century's version of this just on the horizon, it's time to get excited via some chic throwbacks. Extravagant parties, luxurious clothing and fabrics, and steamy romance all characterize the decade, making for envy-inducing styles. The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, showcases all of this and more. Rarely seen without a suit and bow tie, Gatsby's look isn't complete without coiffed hair, a glass of champagne, and a cigar.
