this year’s halloween costume 🦇

Getting ready for Halloween is one of my favorite things to do, and this year, channeling our inner rock legends Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne was an absolute blast! If you're looking for an iconic couple's costume that's both recognizable and super fun, you've hit the jackpot. I wanted to share some tips on how we pulled off our look, so you can easily create your own 'Prince of Darkness' and 'Matriarch of Metal' transformation. For an authentic Ozzy Osbourne costume, the key is to embrace that wild, rockstar persona. Start with a shaggy, dark wig if your hair isn't already long enough – think '80s metal. Iconic round, dark sunglasses are a must; they immediately give off that mysterious, detached vibe. A black leather jacket is non-negotiable; it's the cornerstone of his stage presence. You can often find great faux leather options at thrift stores or online. Don't forget some dark, comfortable pants and maybe a graphic band tee underneath, though Ozzy often goes simple. The real showstopper accessory, as you might have seen in our photos, is a bat skeleton prop! It’s a nod to his infamous on-stage antics and instantly makes the costume recognizable. Posing with a bit of a sneer or giving a playful 'middle finger' (like we did for fun!) really sells the attitude. Now, for Sharon Osbourne's formidable and stylish look, it's all about elegance with an edge. Sharon is known for her impeccable style, often sporting tailored blazers and a chic bob haircut. A vibrant, strong-colored blazer, like a pink or red one, is a fantastic choice, similar to the pink blazer I wore. Pair it with a sleek top underneath, perhaps a black or white camisole. Her hair is typically a fiery red bob, so a wig in that style and color is essential. For makeup, think a classic, polished look: defined eyes, a strong brow, and a sophisticated lip color. Sharon isn't one for overly theatrical makeup, but rather a powerful, confident aesthetic. A pair of stylish heels and some statement jewelry, like a bold necklace or earrings, will complete her strong presence. What makes the Ozzy and Sharon costume so fantastic is the dynamic between them. You get to play off each other's characters – Ozzy’s wild, chaotic energy and Sharon’s composed, yet fierce, management style. It’s a costume that invites interaction and really makes for memorable photos and conversations throughout your Halloween night. Whether you're going for a full-on rock concert vibe or a more subtle nod, these elements will help you create an unforgettable couple's costume. So, grab your leather, your blazers, and get ready to yell 'ALL ABOARD HAHAHAHAHAHA!' and 'GOING OFF THE RAILS OF A CRAZY TRAIN!' for a truly epic Halloween!
