Its the time of the year again—spooky, fun and the one moment you can dress up without explanation: Halloween. October is the season when everyone leans in to the extremes, whether it’s a little roleplay to live out a fantasy or simply for a laugh—be it in a latex catsuit, a zombie bride, or a nod to pop culture royalty like Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries sequel.
This piece is your inspiration board for Halloween—a reminder that dressing up for this season can be iconic and playful. This year, think about leaning into something a little more enduring: fashion’s ghosts.
These aren’t just any costumes—they’re tributes to fashion’s most unforgettable muses. Scroll on to find out three timeless muses reference you can dress up as this Halloween.
Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Nicole Smith was the embodiment of 90s bombshell excess—part Marilun Monroe fantasy, part small-town girl turned pop culture tabloid myth. Her rise from Guess campaign stardom to Hollywood headlines cemented her as the decade’s most unforgettable muse.
To channel her this Halloween, start with the essentials: platinum curls, glossy red lips, a body-hugging satin mini dress, and lastly, a trusty Victoria’s Secret push-up bra for extra volume.
Final touch: Once you’ve nailed the fit, capture it in black-and-white Polaroids, striking those unmistakable Old Hollywood poses. Confidence is the final accessory—and with Anna, that was always the point.
Amy Winehouse
From bombshell glamour to retro rebellion, Amy Winehouse is the perfect another muse profile for Halloween. Winehouse made individuality as iconic as her music—part Brill Building diren, part Camden girl with a voice that could stop a room. Rising from intimate London stades to Grammy-winning stardom, she is one of the decade’s most enduring style icons.
What you need: a towering beehive hairdo, sharp winged eyeliner, a white tank, low-rise jeans, and a mic stand as your ultimate accessory.
Final touch: once you’ve nailed the fit, strike a few poses that in cool rebellious poses—a little big of defiance and a little bit of diva energy. Attitude is the final accessory—and with Amy, that was always the point.
Princess Diana
If you are in the mood for someone equally—or even more—iconic, but with a different kind of energy, consider Princess Diana—the ultimate combination of elegance, approachability and modern royalty. Her profile is chic, philanthropic she made everything she wore feel aspirational and relatable.
Focus on her iconic elements: a tailored blazer, red lips and structured heels. Finish the look with a pair of bold sunglasses or a pair of statement pearl earring with a short blonde wig.
