Channel your inner temptress with a sparkling red bodycon dress and luxurious purple gloves. If you can perfect Jessica’s vibrant red Hollywood waves, this is one look that’ll get you all the candy!
Ariel from The Little Mermaid
Mermaid waves aren’t Disney certified unless they’re red. Dive into the world of Disney with a super cute Little Mermaid costume. With bright red locks, a green shimmering tail and purple shell bralette, let’s face it, this is one look that certainly has the Halloween stamp of approval.
Mystique from X-Men

An obvious choice for traditional Halloween horror. The Corpse Bride is a great opportunity to dust up on your spooky makeup skills and show the kids on your street what a real Halloween costume looks like.
