8 Movie Halloween Costumes, Inspired by Your Favorite Rom-Coms
The one thing all romantic comedies have in common? They celebrate the two things everyone wants in life—rom and com, of course. To honor that, we're devoting a whole week to the genre. More on the rom-coms we love, past and present, here.
When you're watching a romantic comedy, you know to expect a few things: a dashing suitor, a declaration of love, a climactic event that you spend the whole hour and change working toward...and an incredible outfit worn to said climactic event. There's the yellow dress (you know the one) that Andie wears to Ben's company ball in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Rachel's post-wardrobe-transformation ball gown for Colin's wedding in Crazy Rich Asians, Mary's bateau-neck city hall wedding dress from The Wedding Planner.
These looks have become as emblematic of these films as the couple at the center of the romantic intrigue, and for good reason: They're memorable, they've stood the test of time, and they're easy to re-create—all the ingredients you need for a solid movie Halloween costume.
Live out your favorite silver screen love story on October 31 with one of these eight movie Halloween costumes, inspired by rom-coms.
