Halloween is right around the corner and what better last-minute option than a Taylor Swift costume? While there may not be enough time (or sequins) left to recreate one of the singer’s shimmering Eras Tour costumes, fear not, there are still plenty of ways to pay homage to Swift this year. Thankfully, the Grammy winner has given us plenty to work with in recent weeks, offering lots of niche Halloween costumes that we can pull from our own closets.
An unexpected Taylor Swift costume could work for couples, besties, or just as a classic solo venture. You can also go full glam as Eras Tour Premiere Taylor and Jack Antonoff Wedding Guest Taylor, or the more casual Waverly Inn Taylor or Pap Walk Taylor. So, consult your wedding guest dresses, graphic tees, and LBDs. Be sure to have red lipstick on-hand.
The Eras Tour Premiere Taylor
Grab the bobby pins and the red lipstick to dress as Taylor Swift at The Eras Tour movie premiere. If you have a cornflower blue bridesmaid dress laying around, now is the perfect time to get some more use out of it.
Wedding Guest Taylor
This is another option for anyone who owns a blue lacy midi dress. Make it a group costume by tapping some friends to be your Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum.
Confidante Taylor
Grab your bestie for this one and recreate Taylor and Sophie Turner’s dinner look. The two caused a stir when they stepped out arm-in-arm after an hours-long dinner. Recreate Taylor’s look with a burnt sienna minidress, knee-high boots, and long denim coat. And make sure you have your Sophie, too!
Pap Walk Taylor
In her Princess Diana moment, Taylor was spotted in New York in a Shania Twain “Any Man of Mine” T-shirt from Daydreamer, which she wore over biker shorts, and paired with running shoes. Add a baseball hat and some sunnies and you’ve got yourself a Pap Walk Taylor costume.
Date Night Taylor and Travis
Grab your boyfriend for this one. Date Night Taylor can be easily accomplished with a black leather skirt, mesh floral top, and combat boots, while the Travis Kelce component only needs a light-colored set and black tee.
Chiefs Fan Taylor
Noted Kansas City Chiefs fan Taylor Swift has provided plenty of red and white outfits as of late. Grab a Chiefs jersey, or, in desperate times, tape a #87 onto a red T-shirt. Et voilà!
VMAs Taylor
If you have a black maxi or formal dress lying around, you could take a turn as Taylor Swift at the most recent VMAs. Make sure to accessorize with a bunch of necklaces and strappy black heels.
Off-Duty Taylor
Whether or not you wear this for Halloween, it’s simply a good fit. Break out a striped button up, a pleated skirt, and a baseball cap and, boom, you’re Taylor Off-Duty.
School Spirit Taylor
Calling all NYU students! Grab your most overpriced school merch, grab your black miniskirt, sneakers, and Louis bag for this easy last-minute costume that pays homage to honorary doctorate Taylor Alison Swift.
“A Lot Going On” Taylor
A classic Swift costume since 2012: grab an oversized white t-shirt and black and red markers and DIY yourself an “A Lot Going On At The Moment” tee.
Girl Squad Taylor
Do you belong to a friend group full of procrastinators? Grab all your friends and go as Taylor’s Squad 2.0. Between Blake, Gigi, and the Haim sisters, there’s a friend for everyone.
