The only thing more enjoyable than watching Cookie Lyon, the ex-wife of a drug dealer-turned-hip-hop mogul, plot to get half of her ex’s fortune is copying her fierce-yet-fabulous style. I mean, really. The woman knows how to rock a scowl and a red lip. This could be a couple’s costume, with your guy dressing up […]

Halloween costume ideas, recipes and party-planning inspiration
“Elastic Heart” Sia Costume
Admit it: Sia’s songs get lodged in your brain for days, and even if Maddie Ziegler’s dance moves in “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart” creeped you out at first, you’re now kind of into the look. Particularly for Halloween. (Especially if it means you get to interpretive dance everywhere you go.) Here’s how to copy Sia […]
“Once Upon A Time” Costume Ideas
For fans of “Once Upon A Time,” this season’s about to get really interesting. (And if you haven’t seen it, stop reading this post and start binge-watching. Then come back. We’ll wait.) The show has centered on Emma Swan, the protagonist who has to continually protect — and save — the town of Storybrooke, a […]
“Jurassic World” Costume Ideas
When you have a movie featuring velociraptors as fiendishly adorable as the ones in Jurassic World, you need some serious star power to keep them from completely stealing the show. Chris Pratt almost achieved that. Almost. Kidding. But really, if you don’t want to commit to a full-on dino costume, Chris Pratt isn’t a bad […]
Pumpkin Peeps S’mores Dip
Gooey, melty s’mores are just about the best way to cap off a great night, but when you’re hosting a Halloween party, there are a lot of logistical issues that can prevent you from enjoying the treat (chilly temperatures, lack of access to a sweet bonfire, and most importantly, the fact that many poly-blend-who-knows-what costumes […]
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Costume Ideas
You’ll have to wait until Dec. 18 to catch the latest installment in the Star Wars series, but that shouldn’t stop you from going full Jedi (or Sith — just please not Jar Jar Binks) beforehand. The latest movie follows Luke, Leia and Han Solo’s adventures long after the demolished the Death Star, but that’s […]
Taylor Swift Costume Ideas: “Bad Blood” and “Blank Space”
With all of Taylor Swift’s hits over the past year, her music videos (and 1989 tour) are rife with ideas for incredible costumes. In the past, we’ve done looks based on “Shake It Off,” “22” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” but this year, we’re going all out. First up: Bad Blood. Your […]
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Costume
You couldn’t get the theme song out of your head until a few weeks ago*, so it’s only fitting that you put on your favorite light-up sneakers and get overly excited about the world, just like Kimmy Schmidt herself. You could go as newly rescued Kimmy, in her full bomb shelter, doomsday cult garb, but […]
Harley Quinn & Suicide Squad Halloween Costume Ideas
Even though Suicide Squad isn’t set to hit theaters until August 2016, people can’t stop talking about the movie. From the cast’s Instagram posts that redefine #squadgoals to the interviews about the making of the flick (including that time Jared Leto, AKA the Joker, gave castmate Margot Robbie, AKA Harley Quinn, a live rat as […]
#Halloween15 Is Coming
It’s BAAAACK! Well, soon, anyway. Starting Sept. 28th, we’ll be featuring a new pop culture Halloween costume or recipe every single weekday. We’ve been brainstorming costume ideas that will make you the hit of any party (or at least spark a conversation — and ensure you’re not one of 20 one-size-fits-all polyester pirates), and — […]
