'The New Nocturnals'-Inspired Halloween Costumes

Article (news)

<p>This Halloween, prepare to descend into decadence once again as <strong>The New Nocturnals</strong> rises from the minds of <strong>Mond Gutierrez</strong> and <strong>Ash Rye</strong>—the visionary duo behind <strong>The O</strong><strong>pulence Ball</strong>. Known for their commitment to fashion-forward fantasy and atmospheric elegance, this year’s soirée takes a darker, more mysterious turn, beckoning Manila’s style elite into a world ruled by creatures of the night.</p><div><br/></div><p>The theme? A haunting homage to classic horror archetypes—witches, mummies, corpses, enchantresses, and other nocturnal beings—but done with high-fashion sophistication and a moody, modern edge.</p><div><br/></div><p>The charm of this year&#x27;s theme lies in its stylistic duality: it invites attendees to blend their most gothic fantasies with refined glamour. Think dramatic silhouettes, texture-heavy layering, and rich, shadowy palettes. While couture-level theatrics are encouraged, the brilliance of this year’s theme is its accessibility—you don’t need a custom look to embody the darkness.</p><div><br/></div><p>With a bit of imagination and strategic accessorizing, you can conjure a &#x27;The New Nocturnals&#x27;-inspired ensemble from pieces already in your closet.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Enchantress</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong><br/></strong></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17611203251209(1).png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Puffed or balloon-sleeved blouses add drama and Victorian flair—perfect for channeling a high-society witch or a bewitched noblewoman. Pair with a long skirt or layer under a corset belt for a look that walks the line between historical and haunting.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Bride of Frankenstein</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176112048082312(1).png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>A white dress is something easy to find in someone&#x27;s closet. Whether it&#x27;s a slip dress or a piece with a little bit of volume, anything can be reimagined into an ethereal ghoul&#x27;s gown with the right styling. Add opera-length gloves, a torn shawl, or a sheer head piece to dramatize the silhouette.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Death Becomes Her</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176112084908910(1).png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Velvet is the unofficial fabric of the underworld—rich, tactile, and romantic. A long velvet skirt or an updated bubble skirt silhouette instantly channels the energy of an undead queen or nocturnal priestess.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Mummified Muse</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176112107592813(1).png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Whether it’s lace, mesh, or chiffon, a sheer blouse evokes the whispery presence of a spirit or a seductive mummy. Tuck in faux cobwebs and some bandages to complete the look.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Ghoulish Rockstar</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176112127455111(1).png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Summon the spirit of a afterlife headliner with a look that fuses glamour and gritty rebellion. Start with a sheer black lace dress that hints Victorian mourning. Throw on a worn-in leather jacket to channel that rock ‘n’ roll edge, as if you just clawed your way out of the grave and onto the stage.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>The New Nocturnals halloween party is happening on October 29, 2025.
