If you want to do a little girl math this holiday weekend, maybe you could pull the trigger on that designer look you’ve been eyeing—or pluck out some seasons-old couture from your own closet— and, voila!, you’ve got yourself an impractical yet fabulous Halloween costume. To wit: a white gown from Wiederhoft or Simone Rocha could instantly transform you into a bride on October 31st, while Jonathan Anderson’s fall 2026 menswear show will help you channel your inner rock star.
For those celebrating All Hallow’s Eve at Madison Square Garden, a Harry Styles costume topped off with a pair of colorful Adidas sneakers is the comfiest way to dance the night away. An orange and blue ensemble, on the other hand, will allow you to support our favorite hometown team (the New York Knicks, of course!). Turns out if you look hard enough, everything can double as a Halloween costume. Talk about cost per wear! Should you need a little inspo, we’ve pulled some fab ideas from our deep archive of street style, which only proves you can dress up in costume and still look smashing. Scroll through for the best street style looks to use as inspiration this weekend, below.
