Every single year around Halloween, it’s more than just tricks and treats, since our main interest is always around a full-blown costume extravaganza. From iconic horror legends all the way to beloved nostalgic throwbacks, Halloween is the ultimate occasion to up their game with some kind of Instagram-worthy looks.
Choosing a Halloween costume depending on your zodiac sign is similar to letting the cosmos handpick your ideal look. So whether you’re a strong Aries channeling your inner fire or just a dreamy Pisces ready to bring a beloved pop-culture character to life, there’s a wide range of costumes to match every sign’s unique flair. Here’s what we’ve got in store for your sign!
Aries: Jessica Rabbit from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”
In all honesty, nothing really says “look at me” like the unapologetic, courageous energy of Aries. In fact, who better could embody that than Mariah Carey (who was also born under the same Fire sign) as Jessica Rabbit? “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.”
If you’re looking for a fit that will exude sheer confidence and magnetic charm, then this is the one for you. Somehow, it manages to perfectly capture the spicy essence of a Mars-ruled sign, who’s always ready to be in the spotlight. If you also add a splash of red, which is, to no one’s surprise, the color of Mars, you will have a costume that commands attention like nothing else out there.
Taurus: Sandy Olsson from “Grease”
Tauruses adore a good classic, so no wonder why we were inspired by Gigi Hadid’s take on Sandy to find the ideal Halloween costume for them. This Earth sign looks for timeless elegance and grounded energy, and honestly, that’s exactly what Sandy Olsson is giving.
Governed by Venus, Taurus looks for beauty and stability, making Sandy’s classic “girl-next-door” look the ideal match. But much like Taurus’ depth and passion, Sandy’s character also reveals quite a bold and sultry side at the end of the film. Hadid (also a fellow Taurus) proved time and time again that the most grounded signs can easily have a captivating and rebellious side to them.
Gemini: Fiona from “Shrek”
Heidi Klum’s iconic transformation into Fiona is the definition of Gemini energy: it has playfulness, the element of surprise, and that much-needed duality we love to see in them. Channeling both the beauty and the beast in one costume, it’s really no wonder that Klum is a fellow Gemini and true chameleon.
This Mercury-ruled sign is basically a master when it comes to versatility. Moreover, Fiona’s character resembles Gemini’s capacity to embrace its dual nature, naturally shifting between an ogre and a fairy tale princess. This Air sign never stops surprising the world, so we are, as always, really impressed by its endless talents.
Cancer: Elle Woods from “Legally Blonde”
Sweet, very loyal, and endearing, Cancer will always try to bring warmth and nostalgia to the function. No wonder we were inspired by a fellow Cancerian (Mindy Kaling) in order to understand the assignment. That’s how we came up with her Cardinal spirit through her take on Elle Woods.
Governed by the moon, this Water sign is oftentimes admired for its innate sensitivity and intuition, but much like Elle Woods, Cancers are unstoppable and tenacious despite their soft exterior, which makes it the ideal costume choice.
Leo: Zombie
There’s really nothing Leo loves more than the spotlight, and no one’s ever made a gory zombie look way more posh than Demi Lovato. Born under the royal Fire sign, Lovato’s playful yet quite extravagant take on a zombie costume reflects Leo’s fearless spirit.
The Sun also rules this Fixed sign, so it makes sense that a showstopper like them will come with a turf. At the same time, who says you can’t embrace the dark side while still keeping it theatrical and glamorous?
Virgo: Charlie Chaplin
Virgo and their meticulous eye for detail and love for minimalism manage to find inspiration in Blake Lively’s DIY take on a black-and-white film character such as Charlie Chaplin. As a Virgo, Lively brings out the earthly, practical, and very poised nature of her sign, embodying the quiet charisma and humor of the famous character with mercurial precision.
This Earth sign loves planning out and refining an outfit, and the “It Ends With Us” star’s take to tackle a black-and-white film actor with a DIY touch is a classic Virgo mode. “What’s black and white will never die” as she said.
Libra: Mermaid
Governed by the love planet Venus, Libra’s are well known for their irresistible charm and sweet ideals, which go very well with Halsey’s otherworldly mermaid look. As a fellow Libra, Halsey channels her Venusian essence and deep love for aesthetics with this eerie yet whimsical mermaid costume.
Libra is constantly striving for balance and harmony, which resembles a mermaid’s haunting beauty. It can easily lure sailors with its siren songs, and enchant those around them with their unwavering beauty.
Scorpio: Ursula from “The Little Mermaid”
Intense, mysterious, and incredibly magnetic, Scorpio is able to find the ideal Halloween match in Katy Perry’s portrayal of Ursula. As a Scorpio herself, Katy Perry channeled her Plutonian side with the boldest and most villainous take on the formidable sea witch.
And since Scorpio is known to hold a specific power in their silence and mystery, Ursula’s captivating and calculated character mirrors the Water sign’s determination to get what they want.
Sagittarius: Pebbles from The Flinstones
Spirited, youthful, and quite optimistic, Sagittarius can easily find the ideal Halloween costume in Pebbles from the Flinstones. Hailey Bieber, a Sagittarius herself, managed to channel her playful side with an adorable, carefree look that easily got the job done.
Governed by the almighty happy-go-lucky Jupiter, this Fire sign adores a good laugh and an easygoing approach, which makes it the perfect choice for a fun-filled Halloween adventure with friends.
Capricorn: Dr. Phil
Capricorn loves structure, discipline, and a bit of dry humor, which is the ideal mix in Meghan Trainor’s take on Dr. Phil. As a Capricorn herself, Trainor managed to embody her sign’s stoic yet witty side with an epic costume, channeling the Earth sign’s wisdom and desire for authority.
Governed by the taskmaster planet, Capricorns are oftentimes the voice of reason, exactly like Dr. Phil. The “Mother” singer’s choice also reflects her capacity to bring humor wherever she goes while also staying grounded and realistic.
Aquarius: Britney Spears’ flight attendant in “Toxic” video
Known to be an unconventional leader, extremely forward-thinking, and more often than not ahead of all the trends, Paris Hilton’s nod to Britney Spears in the “Toxic” video is a top-tier Aquarius move.
Born under this Air sign, Hilton was never disappointed, especially when it came to embodying her rebellious spirit, continuously breaking the mold, and staying true to her vision. Governed by unpredictable Uranus, this Air sign adores shocking and surprising the people around them, and this is exactly the costume that would bring back an iconic pop culture moment with a touch of in-flight glamour.
Pisces: Dione from “Clueless”
She’s dreamy with an innate flair for the imaginative and cinematic, and that’s why we decided to go with Lupita Nyong’o’s iconic portrayal of Dionne from Clueless to emphasize the Piscean energy. As a fellow Pisces, Nyong’o managed to capture the Neptunian glamour that this Water sign exudes.
