The new Halloween costumes, the inspiration comes from our (disturbing) It-Girls

Make way for unfiltered extravagance, kilos of makeup, and the terrifying dark side hidden in each of us. Halloween night is upon us and the fashion–drama it’s just one: what outfit do I invent?

Well yes, without crazy camouflage what kind of party would it be? And here, you can really indulge yourself reference terrifying, from the most experimental to the damned “risque” ones. Because anyway, to put it in the words of Mrs. Miuccia Prada, “ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting”. And so be it.

There are the cliche, always appreciated, vampire, mummy, corpse bride, etc., but still – let’s face it – they are only right for those who play easy. There are the catwalks, obsession of the insiders fashionistas, from the recent murderous widow veils of Versace, rather than the cocker-bats of Rodarte, to the historical ones such as the unforgettable Kate Moss dressed as a witch during Martine Sitbon’s fashion show for the Spring-Summer 1993 collection. Obviously there is no shortage references to cult characters on the big screen: Johnny Depp in Edward scissor handsmembers of the Addams family, Joker. Among the least rated but terribly dark-fetish-chic you could even fish out the diabolical Isabelle Huppert in Violette Nozière or Isabella Rossellini ne Death makes you beautiful.

But without going too far, simply looking around, What if our It-Girls suggested the look for Halloween night this year? On the other hand, monsters are among us too (just joking). Here are some inspirations ad hoc directly from fashion icons (horror) Contemporary.

Kim Kardashian – The stepmother glam rock

Let’s start with an unrecognizable Kim Kardashian in the much talked about, and to say the least distressing, teaser for the 12th season of the series American Horror Story. There Queen of reality shows off a provocative little black dress, combined with long latex gloves, all emphasized by very white hair and the silicone texture of the make-up. The icing? It’s unclear whether he’s alive or not, a newborn baby he’s holding in his arms. In short, a wig, false eyelashes and a nice doll, et voila le jeux sont fait!

Mia Goth – The psycho lolita

Remaining on recent screens, the reference It-Girl of contemporary horror cinema cannot be missed. We’re talking about Mia Goth, in all her psycho sweetness, and in particular we call her into question in her killer lolita outfit in that sublime horror of Pearl by Ti West. A romantic little red dress with lace details in pendant with scarlet lips, bow coquette, smeared makeup and bloody hands holding an axe. If before there was the head reaper costume, now there is Mia Goth.

Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell – The cannibals in love

The latest inspiration for the couple’s new Halloween outfit also comes from the cinema. The beautiful and damned cannibals, Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell in the heartbreaking Bones and All they are the perfect example to follow for all lovers with a macabre spirit. Green light for the most shabby grunge, torn jeans, creased flannel shirts, worn out t-shirts, all covered in a cascade of fake blood. From the series, minimum effort, maximum coolness.

Doja Cat – The blood clot

It may seem absurd, but moving on to routine public appearances, the difficulty of composing increases. It was Doja Cat who made the flashes tremble with fear right at the beginning of the year on the occasion of the Maison Schiaparelli Haute Couture fashion show, catapulted to the entrance of the location directly from Dante’s hell. The singer shows off an outfit that looks like a humanized blood clot, including a silk bustier, pearl skirt, trompe l’oeil boots and a long stole. But above all, her body completely painted red and covered in thirty thousand Swarovski crystals. So destabilizing that you can’t take your eyes off her.

Julia Fox – The new Maleficent

Who deserves the title of Halloween queen (every day) is definitely Julia Fox. Known for her extreme looks, which to define as daring would be an understatement, it is undeniable that the mix of shocking outfits, the demon-of-the-night makeup and the icy gaze inspire a certain sense of fear. In the sincere embarrassment of her choice, among all his putwe propose perhaps the most viral, that is, the one shown on the red carpet of the post-Oscar party Vanity Fair last year. A black leather dress with a neckline in the shape of a skeletal human hand with a strangulation effect, combined with none other than a real hair clutch bag (for camouflage we settle for fake ones). Creepy, other than Maleficent.

Michèle Lamy – The voodoo shaman

Another particularly apt character to replicate is Michèle Lamy, legend of the fashion scene, artist and designer, known to most for being the wife of designer Rick Owens. Gloomy, mysterious, rigorous outfits total black, the gold-plated teeth, the fingers stained with black dye covered in amulet rings, and the hypnotic vertical line painted on his forehead. Here is the formula for a mystical voodoo shaman look that no one expects. Tremendously cool, and ready for who knows what witchcraft.
