Scream Queens quickly took over our Tuesday nights [1] last year, and we can only assume that season two [2] of the horror-comedy will do the same. With October 31 on its way, why not let Scream Queens take over Halloween [3], too? The hit Fox show has so many great looks worthy of this year's costumes, whether you're heading out with a group [4] or going solo. Chanel Oberlin and her Kappa Kappa Tau minions [5] and the air-headed Dickie Dollars Scholars are totally easy costumes to re-create — and if you're feeling really ambitious, you can even go as Lea Michele [6]'s sweet-yet-sinister character, Hester, or the unspeakably scary Red Devil himself. On top of that, season two's hospital-themed ensembles [7] are really something to behold, so scroll through to get all the best Scream Queens costume inspiration you could possibly want. Don't forget to check out even more ideas from our massive pop culture costume roundup [8], either.
The Kappa Kappa Tau Pledges
- What to wear: Your best collegiate casualwear.
- How to act: Excited, optimistic, and full of anxiety — like any college student pledging a sorority.
Hester
- What to wear: De-glam with a multicolored windbreaker, three-wolf moon shirt, and neck brace.
- How to act: Like you're super stoked to be invited to the party, but a little awkward and sketch.
- What to wear: An oversize t-shirt with a rainbow decal layered with a printed, nonmatching sweater. Add a neck brace, and make your hair a little frizzy.
- What to wear: Season two Hester ditches her neck brace for what looks like a blue (prison?) jumpsuit [11] layered on top of a gray, long-sleeved shirt. Pair it with some navy blue slip-on shoes [12] and you'll be good to go.
Grace and Zayday
- What to wear: For Grace, a striped shirt, flared jeans, a blazer, and a newsboy cap. For Zayday, denim shorts, a white button-up, and a printed coat.
- How to act: Like a pair of new college BFFs who are trying to catch a serial killer together.
Zayday
- What to wear: Was Zayday pre-med? Regardless, season two Zayday seems to have gotten her medical license thanks to the white doctor's coat she has on over a purple suede dress [13], a chunky, colorful necklace, and black heels. Don't forget the matching purple gloves!
- How to act: Smart as hell, and with an abundance of clapbacks at the ready.
The Dickie Dollars Scholars
- What to wear: Plaid pants and a sweater vest over a polo shirt. Add a golf cap, gloves, and loafers.
- How to act: Arrogant, narcissistic, and not very bright.
Chad Radwell
- What to wear: Bright-colored pants, a collared shirt, and a preppy sweater. Add a newsboy cap and boat shoes.
- How to act: Cocky, horny, and dumb.
Boone
- What to wear: A polka-dot polo shirt tucked into khaki pants. Add a cloth belt and a white golf glove.
- How to act: Like a frat boy with a secret.
The Chanels
- What to wear: Anything pastel and with faux fur. Accessorize with oversize necklaces and rings and white or light-colored heels.
- How to act: Like the baddest b*tches in Kappa Kappa Tau.
Chanel Oberlin
- What to wear: A floaty silk blouse tucked into a tight, high-waisted skirt. Layer up with a faux-fur jacket or boxy quilted blazer.
- How to act: Mean, nasty, conceited, and fabulous.
- What to wear: Anything quilted and pastel works, really.
- What to wear: A baby pink cape dress [14] with a bedazzled stethoscope hanging around your neck, and her "C" headpiece (replicate it yourself by gluing a piece of cardboard to a pink headband).
Chanel #2
- What to wear: A metallic crop top and high-waisted leather skirt with a choker necklace and high ponytail.
- How to act: Like a pouty rich girl who's completely obsessed with social media, right up until the end of your life.
Chanel #3
- What to wear: A white strappy tank tucked into a pastel-colored skirt. Make sure you accessorize with fuzzy earmuffs.
- How to act: A little out there, and like a follower, but with an independent streak.
- What to wear: A tight, light pink minidress with a matching fur vest or scarf. Add in Chanel #3's signature earmuffs and the little "3." Carry around a big, plastic syringe so everyone knows you're repping season two.
Chanel #5
- What to wear: A pink peplum dress [15] (or a pink scrub top and culottes to hammer home season two's hospital theme) with a gold belt, and furry pink heels. Add in the "5" headband to complete the look.
- How to act: Like a total pushover, and completely submissive to all of the other Chanels you're out with.
The Red Devil
- What to wear: A red pleather shirt with black pants and a giant red cape. Wield a chainsaw.
- How to act: Like a completely terrifying serial killer on the hunt for teenage blood.
Dean Munsch
- What to wear: Black pants, a black blouse, and a black blazer. Wear a short, gray wig and thick-frame glasses.
- How to act: Like a woman with an agenda; also, inappropriately flirty.
- What to wear: Season two Dean Munsch dresses the same as season one (black pants, a black blouse, a black blazer, short gray hair, and thick-frame glasses), only with a stethoscope around her neck.
Denise Hemphill
- What to wear: A cop uniform, even though you're not really a cop.
- How to act: Like a determined, sassy security officer who loves a good double cheeseburger. Make sure you are constantly referring to yourself as "Denise Hemphill from Secure Enforcement Solutions."
Gigi Caldwell
- What to wear: An acid-washed denim skirt, a pink top, and a bright-colored leather jacket. Tease your hair, and go a little crazy with the eye shadow.
- How to act: Like you're totally stuck in the '90s. When people talk about social media or iPhones, give them a blank stare.
Wes
- What to wear: Dark jeans with a brown belt, a denim button-down with a gray vest, and a blue tie.
- How to act: Like the hot new teacher just trying to keep an eye on his only daughter but obviously hiding something from her.
Dr. Brock Holt
- What to wear: A blue button-down shirt under a white lab coat, with a stethoscope hanging around your neck. Carry a fake, bloody heart around for emphasis.
- How to act: We're still waiting to get a full rundown of Brock's personality, but it seems like he won't be able to keep his hands to himself [16].
Dr. Cassidy Cascade
- What to wear: Black shoes and pants, a light blue button-down shirt, a tie, and a white lab coat. Bring a cleaver with you, just in case.
