Billie Eilish [1] has established a beautifully haunting musical identity [2] unlike any other artist. The 17-year-old's creativity [3] is so out of the ordinary, we're expecting to see Halloween [4] costumes inspired by some of her best music videos [5]. Sure, the accompanying visuals for "All the Good Girls Go to Hell [6]" gave us the heebie-jeebies, but dressing like a fallen angel walking around a wasteland screams Halloween. Keep reading to see how you can re-create some of Eilish's onscreen ensembles!
Billie Eilish "Bellyache" Costume
Eilish's character in this tune is a murderous psychopath, making this a rather appropriate option for Oct. 31.
- What to wear: A yellow jumpsuit with cuffed bottoms, a matching jacket, and white high-top sneakers. To really up the ante, you can even lug around a red wagon and stack of cash (using Monopoly bills is probably a better option than the real deal . . . unless you have actual money you can just throw around, in which case I'll send you my Venmo username).
Billie Eilish "When the Party's Over" Costume
This is probably one of Eilish's most memorable music videos — mostly because she convincingly cries thick black tears, thanks to some special effects magic [8].
- What to wear: A white t-shirt and white pants with long silver chain necklaces, statement rings, and bracelets. We don't recommend spurting black liquid into your eyes, but painting on murky tear stains certainly works.
Billie Eilish "You Should See Me in a Crown" Costume
Eilish practically crowned herself the queen of alternative pop in this clip. Rocking a relatively simple outfit, the singer mirrors the shape of spiders with a diadem before one of the eight-legged creatures crawls out of her mouth.
- What to wear: A white t-shirt, layered silver chains, and a crown with fake tarantulas hanging from it.
Billie Eilish "Lovely" Costume
Eilish gives viewers cool-girl ninja vibes in this haunting collaboration with Khalid. The two sing of struggling to overcome depression and find hope.
- What to wear: A black long-sleeve mock-neck top, dark baggy pants, black sneakers, and silver body chains with a pair of headphones.
Billie Eilish "Bad Guy" Costume
Eilish rocks a handful of colorful clothes [9] in this video, but the standout is definitely her all-yellow Reserve sweatsuit [10].
- What to wear: A honey yellow sweatshirt, pair of sweatpants, and sneakers with a blue wig.
Billie Eilish "All the Good Girls Go to Hell" Costume
Eilish croons about climate change in this chilling scene of her portraying a fallen angel wobbling through a world of destruction.
- What to wear: A black turtleneck, baggy bottoms, and sneakers with large bat-like wings. You can also (safely) cover yourself in gooey dark grime and slick your hair down with it.
Billie Eilish "Bury a Friend" Costume
Eilish confronts a self-reflective entity in "Bury a Friend" before she transforms into the paranormal being.
- What to wear: A white t-shirt, pair of shorts, and sneakers with long socks, layered chain necklaces, cross-shaped chandelier earrings, and special-effect scleral lenses (or light hazel contact lenses).
Billie Eilish "Idontwannabeyouanymore" Costume
Eilish goes for a much more subtle look in this smoky tune about self-confidence issues.
- What to wear: A baggy white jumpsuit with a layered waist-length silver chain and white sneakers.
Billie Eilish "Ocean Eyes" Costume
This song might be about falling in love with someone, but we admittedly fell more in love with Eilish's subdued passion that jostles through the foggy depiction.
- What to wear: Any dark t-shirt can work; the most important part of this look is having the powdery finger tips and smeared blue residue on your face. For those who are really dedicated to nailing the look, you can also wear ocean blue contact lenses.
Billie Eilish "Hostage" Costume
Eilish shows off her dance background in this emotional visualization of being madly in love.
- What to wear: A white oversize t-shirt, pair of shorts, and sneakers with a gold chain.
