We know the feeling — you're invited to what feels like a billion Halloween parties, and you just don't have the energy or the funds to create more than one costume — not to mention, you're down to the wire now. You want to be witty and unexpected, but you also want this Halloween to be easy. Luckily, we've come up with just the solution.
Consider the five looks below the foundation for two totally different costumes that are equally recognizable and hilarious. And we promise — these are so good that no one will call you out on repeating your outfit. Scroll down to feel supersmart.
Get even more inspiration for your most stylish Halloween ever:
1 Burglar or Edie Sedgwick
It's likely you already have the foundation for these costumes hanging in your closet. Grab your striped top and leggings and go as a burglar on night one (you can use face paint to create the eye mask), and go as '60s style icon Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol’s muse, on night two.
2 Paris Hilton or Regina George's Mom
All hail the Juicy Couture tracksuit! Dig up your old pink version and start off with Paris Hilton — who sported hers unzipped with a flashy tee and matching shades. Then grab a martini glass and be everyone's favorite "cool mom" the next night. (By the way, you can totally bring your puppy along on both nights).
3 The White Swan or Björk
With a tutu and a white bodysuit, you can feel superpretty and graceful as the white swan. But Björk's infamous dress that she wore on the red carpet at the 2001 Oscars is always a hit, too.
4 Little Red Riding Hood or Betty Boop
Little Red Riding Hood and Betty Boop are two very classic costumes — and when you've got a little red dress as your starting point, you're already halfway there. Grab a basket and long cape on the night that's showing cooler temperatures, and flash a little leg and pucker up to pull off Betty.
5 Chelsea Clinton or Kate Middleton Postbaby Debut
When Chelsea Clinton left the hospital with her newborn daughter, Charlotte, this past September, we couldn’t help but compare her look to that of Kate Middleton. In a blue printed dress, a change of jewelry, and a change of footwear, people will totally get a kick out of both your costumes.
