The Substance may just be the Halloween film of the year. With unexpected horrifying twists and costume-worthy moments, take some inspiration from Sue and Elisabeth Sparkle. Grab a metallic leotard and some leg warmers, and bring in some of that ‘80s aerobic energy.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Margiela Porcelain Doll - Quite arguably the most iconic fashion show of the year, John Galliano brought the Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection to life as models entered a gloomy Parisian set looking like porcelain dolls. To recreate the look, dress in layers of sheers, waist-cinching-corsets, tattered stockings, and, of course, the cherry on top of it all: Pat McGrath-inspired glass skin makeup.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Charli XCX and The Dare - Whether it’s at a Boiler Room set or a night out on Halloween, Charli xcx and The Dare have become today’s icons of indie sleaze. To dress as the duo of Brat summer, sport Charli’s party girl looks with some wraparound sunglasses and put on a classic suit-and-tie for The Dare.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Clairo - After Brat summer came Charm Fall. For her ongoing tour, Clairo has gone down an eclectic road in the outfit department. With slight folk references and a little taste of a Sandy Liang girlhood, dainty dresses and sound equipment make the look. Accessorize with a pair of wired headphones and wear some audio gear by your arm and hip for a night that will ‘make you wanna go dancing’ just like Clairo. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>The Challengers - Team Art? Team Patrick? Team Tashi? Bring out your tennis gear and channel the love triangle of the summer. From Art Donaldson’s red Stanford look with the backward cap to Tashi Duncan’s jaw-dropping blue dress and Patrick Zweig’s Loewe ‘I TOLD YA’ t-shirt, Challengers has got quite a lot of costume inspiration under its belt. Go solo or as a duo, but plus points if you’re a trio!</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Delores, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - Nothing screams Halloween quite as well as a an iconic fright night franchise. Beetlejuice has long been a costume staple but its latest sequel has a new look to offer. Held together by a patchwork of staples, embody Monica Bellucci’s Delores as you channel a haunting energy of dark glam. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Olympian - From gold medalist Simone Biles to Australia&#x27;s “Raygun” the breakdancer, the Paris Olympics had quite a lot of moments that made the internet.

Take your pick from her selection of retro-esque tour looks as you don sheer nightgowns and bedazzled bodysuits — don’t forget Sabrina’s signature curtain bangs to complete the look!</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Yves Saint Laurent - For the fashion-obsessed, Saint Laurent’s SS25 show had quite an  “if you get it, you get it” moment when models walked out in structured suits and thick-framed glasses. To the regular audience, it may just have seemingly been like any other runway look — but to the trained fashion eye, it was recognizably a reincarnation of Yves Saint Laurent himself. Take Bella Hadid’s look as a reference as you pay homage to the iconic designer of the Le Smoking.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Addison Rae&#x27;s Aquamarine - If anything is defining pop culture right now it’s Addison Rae’s Aquamarine. The pop star on the rise has been referencing some 2000s fashion moments for her newest single including a gold-and-white, masked look that would make the perfect costume.
