Vale Maggie Smith, whose legacy we think Caps will want to pay tribute to this Halloween. Because is there anyone more no-nonsense than Professor McGonagall? Capricorns are basically the McGonagall of the zodiac – always holding it together while everyone else is losing their minds. And nothing says "I’m in charge" like turning into a cat whenever you want to avoid people.
Aquarius: Bella from Poor Things

Who else could pull off chaotic genius vibes and Frankenstein chic at the same time? With her eccentric personality and rebellious spirit, Bella is the perfect match for Aquarians, who always insist on being the weirdest person at the party. Plus, her "come-back-to-life-and-reinvent-yourself" energy is basically Aquarian philosophy in a nutshell. Bonus points: you get to wear those quirky Victorian outfits while everyone wonders what planet you’re from. What's new.

Let’s face it, no one does tragic, ethereal suffering quite like a Pisces. You’ll love floating around the Halloween party, giving off major “I’m too delicate for this world” energy, while secretly hoping someone asks if you’re okay. Plus, with her soft-spoken charm and that ever-present sense of melancholy, Pamela is basically a Pisces in human form. Add a gothic mansion backdrop, and Pisces can finally live out their fantasy of being the most emotionally complex person in the room.

Nothing screams "look at me!" like strutting around in a barely-there outfit that practically ignites the room. With your bold and fearless attitude, Aries will relish channeling Addison’s unapologetic "main character energy" – perfect for causing drama at the Halloween party. Plus, you’ll get to claim you’re “just being authentic,” while secretly thriving on everyone’s jaw-dropped reactions. And let's be real, an Aries never misses a chance to be the centRE of attention in the most chaotic and extra way possible.
Taurus: Syd from The Bear

Nothing speaks to a Tauran's soul like being obsessed with food and making sure everyone knows you’re the one in charge of it. With that apron on and a no-nonsense attitude, you'll love channeling Syd's energy of "I’m calm" but also "don't f*ck with me". You'll also get to be the unsung hero of the party, constantly judging everyone else’s snacks while secretly wishing you could take over the catering. Let’s be honest, dressing as a chef just gives them an excuse to eat and critique all night – classic Taurus behaviour.
Gemini: Ennui from Inside Out 2

Finally, a character who gets your “I’m bored, but make it dramatic” vibe. Switching between wildly animated and completely deadpan, Geminis will love having a costume that captures their two moods: over it and so over it. You'll also get to confuse people all night with deep existential one-liners while still being the life of the party – Gemini multitasking at its finest. And let’s be real, nothing’s more on brand for a Gemini than a character who embodies being effortlessly detached yet somehow still fascinating.

The perfect blend of romance, nostalgia, and emotional chaos – basically your dream scenario. And all helmed by your Cancerian queen, Miss Del Rey herself. This is your chance to lean into your love of all things sentimental and moody, and just a little bit weird. Complete your performance with wistful glances and poetic vows to your alligator tour guide groom. And honestly, Cancers love the idea of a wedding where drama is guaranteed, even if it’s just the local wildlife making an appearance.
Leo: Charli XCX at her Ibiza Boiler Room set

Nothing says “I’m the star of this entire party” like turning a Halloween night into your own personal rave. Let's be real, you’ll thrive on the attention, and dance like nobody’s watching (while making sure everyone definitely is), channeling Charli’s unapologetic stage presence. With an outfit that leaves no one guessing the colour of your undewear, Leos will love being the loudest, brightest thing in any room, as per usual.
Virgo: Tashi from Challengers

Who better to embody your inner perfectionist than a tennis prodigy who’s always five steps ahead of everyone else? Virgos will love the chance to channel Tashi’s calculating, strategy-driven mindset while secretly judging everyone else’s costumes for lack of effort. Plus, you can’t resist a character who’s not only competitive but manages to keep her life meticulously organised. Bonus: you’ll get to smugly remind everyone that tennis is all about precision, discipline, and outsmarting the competition, which are basically Virgo’s love languages.

I'm not sure there's anything more chic than to becoming a walking embodiment of a cult-favourite fragrance. Librans will bask in compliments all night, telling everyone “I just smell like this naturally,” while enjoying the perfect balance of aesthetic and allure. Libras live for anything that’s beautifully packaged, and what’s better than being the literal packaging? Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to talk about their impeccable taste in everything from scents to style.
Scorpio: Alex Consani

Yes, we know she's a Leo, but we still think Scorpios will be all over dressing as Alex Consani for Halloween because they can finally combine their love of mystery with her unapologetically bold, edgy fashion choices. They’ll thrive on the power move of showing up in something so daring that everyone’s either in awe or completely confused – both reactions being a win in the eyes of a Scorpio. You’ll enjoy channeling her internet-breaking style moments, proving once again that Scorpios don’t follow trends—they set them. And let’s face it, Scorpios live for a dramatic reveal, so why not go as the queen of them all?
Sagittarius: Jools Lebron and her demure and mindful braids

We're not sure if anyone has had more influence on internet lingo these last six months like Jools Lebron, and her 'very demure, very mindful' makeup looks. Sagittarians, this is the perfect excuse to act like you’re calm and collected while secretly thriving on chaos. Let's face it, you’ll enjoy the irony of playing the low-key, soft-spoken character while still managing to be the loudest voice in the room. Plus, those 'demure' vibes are the ideal cover for when you inevitably start oversharing wild stories after one too many drinks.
