Save the Date: Halloween

Thoughts | Lesley Cheung

With Halloween around the corner, everyone’s racking their brains, searching the interweb, and raiding costume shops for what they’re going to wear… but not me! Horror films may be keeping you from a good night’s rest, but what’s really keeping me up at night is the thought of what Hollywood’s A-listers will be donning to their Halloween bashes. With stylists at their beck and call and bottomless wallets, I expect them to serve major looks. Though I am not so fortunate to be in the position of helping pick out their costumes, I can only wish that by some means of telepathy, they take inspiration from what I am dying to see them wear. All I need is a bit of hocus pocus magic.

Justin and Hailey Bieber as Prince Charming and Cinderella

Don’t tell me that this isn’t the best idea ever. After the world was gifted the glorious photos from their wedding day, I cannot get enough! How perfect would it be for the newlyweds to wear coordinating costumes from the most iconic Disney fairytale and put all other celebrity couples to shame? Besides, we cannot deny the resemblance of Hailey to Cinderella… and we must keep Justin looking dapper and out of his loungewear!

Billie Eilish as a VSCO Girl

Now this would be totally out of character for Billie, but I think she has the personality to do it for the giggles. Known for her emo-edgy-vibe and baggy tracksuits, this would be a 180° from the TikTok and Instagram-popularized VSCO Girl aesthetic. Just imagine her in a cutesy T-shirt dress, adorned with a puka shell necklace, scrunchies up to her elbows, and toting a Fjällräven ‎Kånken... Sksksksksksksksk and I oop!

Lil Nas X as a Panini 

We’ve seen the guy in a cowboy hat and Wrangler on his booty on numerous occasions, so he has got to pumpkin spice it up. Diverging from his “Old Town Road” getup, he can still stay on brand by dressing up as his second hit single. I’d be so pressed if he didn’t!

Zayn Malik as Aladdin

Disney already made the mistake of not casting him as Aladdin in the live-action adaptation of the classic film, so he better not make an equally bad mistake in not choosing this as his costume this Halloween! Sorry Mena Massoud, but I think it’s hard to compete with a former One Direction member’s vocals.

Cardi B as Nicki Minaj and Nicki Minaj as Cardi B

This could go either way depending on what their feelings towards each other are now. After a long history of back and forth between appearing to be on good terms and then butting heads again, a little game of dress up on the 31st could help to ease the tension—or escalate it if they wanted to. 

Kylie Jenner as the Sun

Y’all know I would be a fool to not include this. After the release of her “Kylie Cosmetics Office Tour” on her Youtube channel earlier this month and the Riiise and Shiiinnee memes that followed, a sun costume would be the cherry on top. She always delivers multiple looks each Halloween, so I would be really disappointed if this wasn’t one of them. Honestly, it would be her loss because it would be yet another opportunity for her to promote her Riiise and Shiiinnee merch and she’s got the Kylie Cosmetics to make this look complete.
