TGIF, folks! We’ve spent our week finding simple and super awesome (if we do say so ourselves) costume ideas from Marc Jacobs to Kristen Stewart every day all week, and on Fridays, we wear pink (we know the line is technically Wednesday, but work with us here). And more pink than your eyes can probably handle, because today’s edition of Halloween costumes is all about dressing like the most stylish child in Hollywood, Miss Suri Cruise.

There’s a fine line that those who attempt this costume will tread and it’s between looking like an actual child or like an adult with a weird pink obsession. Suri pulls this look off because, she’s six, so it is essential for this costume to be complimented by a tiny kids purse (stuffed with candy), an oversized teddy bear and minimal makeup. Bonus points will be awarded to those who can convince someone to carry them around like a child.

Let the costume scramble continue! If you’re going out this weekend dressed as someone you’re not, chances are you’re pulling together and crafting like crazy. We’ve been here for you all week with Lana Del Rey, Marc Jacobs, and Kristen Stewart and now, what we can only assume will be a homerun this Halloween: Kimye.

Yup, that’s right, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian (couple costume alert!). As with most of our ingenious costume ideas, the combo look is simple and easy to find on a short notice. For Kim it’s all about the beauty and the booty—clothing should be as tight as humanly possible (butt padding for bonus points) and natural eyelashes need to be hidden by the most aggressively long pair of fakes possible. For Kanye, keep it in leather and keep it in black—leather pants with a Givenchy Rottweiler Tee are the keys to keeping up with Yeezy. Hold hands everywhere you go and gaze deep into each other’s eyes, because after all, it’s love, you guys.

There are seven days until all hollow’s eve and if our suggestions for becoming Kristen Stewart or Marc Jacobs weren’t enough for you, today we bring you the easiest Lana Del Rey costume possible.

To truly become the sultry songstress, this look is all about volume. Who would Lana Del Rey be without the poutiest pout around and biggest hair on the block? Just another gal, that’s who. So keep your shorts small, your t-shirt tied in a knot, your hair huge and you’ve got the look. Or, to make it super legit, add a biker gang to emulate her latest video.

Next up on our Fashionable DIY costume series, is a one Marc Jacobs. The mastermind known for creating trends with Warholian tendencies at Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, is known for taking the same approach to his body and style.

Enter, the costume idea. Marc wore a bright pink Lacoste dress to Louis Vuitton – Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition in March, which showed off his toned body (seriously, he’s so fit) and some of his cartoon inspired tattoos. We’re not saying to get matching permanent tattoos, but here’s a good opportunity to grab your most artistic pal and let them doodle all over you for one night of the year. From Spongebob Square Pants to the Simpson’s character drawn after him, you’ll be sporting by far the most fashion genius look of the night.

Our style panel has helped us through tough times—from teaching us how to make the transition from summer to fall to riding our bikes in style—but let’s be honest, as hard of those fashion challenges may be, Halloween is the epitome of a fashion pickle.

You want to be creative, topical and sew cute! So, we’re so thankful for our team of stylin’ homegirls who have come to our rescue and saved Halloween from a store-bought disaster. To say there’s a common thread running through the style panel’s costume decisions would be a lie. We had Christina Cravero of The Style Mogul, take a classic look and created her own take on Katy Perry’s ‘California Girls’. So from jugalettes to Holly Golightly to a serial flasher, take a look at our Panel’s Halloween costumes and get inspired.

Today marks the unofficial start to the “what are you dressing up as for Halloween?” question period. Since we’d hate to leave you without a clue, we’re here with another week full of fashionable and culturally relevant costumes to leading up to the spookiest night of the year.

To kick things off, we’d thought we’d go topical and select Kristen Stewart post break-up scandal. She made her first appearance post-scandal in the Toronto Pearson International Airport decked out in Robert Pattinson’s old clothing (because the only thing better than wearing your boyfriend’s oversized wears, is wearing your very publicly wounded heartthrob ex boyfriend’s wears). The look is simple to replicate, all you need is some boyfriend gear and a dismayed look of disappointment glued to your face. There’s no need to pretend to be her character Bella when her current life offers more entertainment.

Halloween might be over, but there’s still good reason to do something special with your beauty routine this morning: November 2 is Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead—the Mexican holiday that celebrates the departed. Bright flowers, sugar skulls, and colourful costumed skeletons are all iconic symbols of this holiday, and are gaining traction across mainstream culture. Both Elettra Wiedemann and Debra Messing showed up at the Hulaween Benefit Gala this weekend dressed like a skeleton à la Day of the Dead. Of course, not every office will appreciate a full painted-skull get up on your face, so here’s a few subtle ways to adjust your look.

They’re just like us! Hollywood’s and fashion’s best were out over the weekend and last night celebrating Halloween in Marvel, Disney, and trash TV style. Despite some lacklustre outings from the likes of Lindsay Lohan (what else is new?) and Paris Hilton, who all gave it the ole “I just want to be sexy” college try, we picked our 6 favourites. So, who takes the cake?

Reality star Kim Kardashian showed off a new hairstyle this weekend: bright bright red. Okay, the titian tint was temporary—a necessary part of the star’s Poison Ivy Halloween costume. And while the red wig looks about as real as a plotline on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it got us thinking. Is it time for Kim to grab the dye bottle and change up her look, joining Rihanna and Blake Lively in their newly-redheaded ranks?

For our fourth day of Fashion’ween, we bring you the ultimate icon for show-stopping dress up: none other than Vogue Nippon editrix, Anna Dello Russo. Famed for her many fantastical getups, the key to authenticating Dello Russo’s look is easier than it looks—it’s all about the mini dress, the sparkle, the tan, and the larger-than-life hair accessory.

Before, after, or during your fashion shower, follow along as we break down her look:

Trick-or-treating aside, one of our favourite Halloween rituals has to be attending a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show. For those of you virgins (we’re not really calling you virgins) who have never been to a show, we implore you to try it for yourself this year. There are generally midnight showings for many days leading up to and on Halloween night, and it’s a great excuse to dress up, bring some rice to a theatre, and let your freak flag fly.

But, what to wear? The Rocky Horror look can get a little trashy at times, so we present our ultimate guide to haute-ifying it. Yes, some of these price tags are a wee bit of a splurge for one night only, but we predict that you’ll want to wash and repeat for many years to come.

It’s day two of Fashion’ween and we’ve moved from fashion personality to fashion plaything. Katy Perry might not always dress on trend, but from the red carpet to her music videos, she’s proven that her off-the-wall outfits are just as catchy as her (many) #1 songs.
