You probably grew up watching La Cuatro and even if Sábado Gigante is no longer on the air, it doesn't mean you can't embrace your roots. A high ponytail half-up hairstyle will do the trick to give you La Cuatro's signature beauty look. Pair it with a black polka-dot long-sleeved shirt and a pink jumper. Just think of the great #TBT Instagram pic this costume will provide.

While there have been many new versions of Betty La Fea, the OG premiered in the late '90s. Achieve Betty's iconic look by adding clip-on bangs (if you don't already have natural ones), buying a pair of dark-rimmed glasses, and rocking a maxi with your brightest colored top and cardigan (or sweater vest, if you're really committing).

6 '90s Thalia

All. Things. Floral. Achieve the best Thalia-inspired '90s look by embracing sunflowers big time. Find a crop top and pair it with short shorts, add flowers to your hair, and make sure to carry around a bouquet with a microphone in it.

Go for one of Shakira's OG looks this Halloween: a choker, long dark hair, and a red crop top — and, of course, a guitar and moody vibes. Just like that, you'll be Shakira pre-"Hips Don’t Lie."

Get ready to embrace classiness in a big way. Blow out your hair with a deep side part and sport a two-piece suit to get the perfect Soraya look (or just sport the t-shirt version of the costume).

A bandana, a crop top, and white pants — these pieces will get you the late-'90s vibe that J Lo was channeling during her relationship with Diddy. Just make sure everything is bedazzled.

If you've ever needed an excuse to rock a red wig, this is it. You can get Roberta's most classic beauty look with some heavy eyeliner and her fashion by fully embracing '90s punk. Try a short leather skirt, a crop top, and a choker, and you'll be a rebelde.

13 Mia Colucci From Rebelde

Mia was the more traditionally girlie character on Rebelde and had the pink, frilly clothes to prove it. Tie a white button-down right above your belly button, rock a jean skirt, and draw a star on your forehead. You can also go the school uniform route — you might already have one in your closet you can repurpose.
