This year, there's plenty of TV style to inspire your Halloween costume. From Chanel Oberlin on Scream Queens to Scandal's Olivia Pope, who continues to command our attention, we've got so many ideas up our sleeve. Whether these characters are brand new, like Bonnie Carlson from Big Little Lies, or living out their final seasons, 2017 introduced a handful of flashy outfits that became iconic. The looks here will be recognizable wherever you choose to party, so shop every last accessory and pay the small screen some respect. The nine leading ladies here have some of the most pristine wardrobes we've ever seen — or, er, imagined.
1 Bonnie Carlson, Big Little Lies
If you're being Bonnie, who might just be the Big Little Lies character with the most recognizable style, you'll need to wear long, flowing layers and plenty of beaded jewelry. Or you can go the alternate route and slip into her free spirited work out gear, which would definitely include a sports bra in an earth tone.
