... Read moreOMG, you guys! If there's one show that screamingly defines Halloween costume goals for a group, it's gotta be *Scream Queens*! šŖš My friends and I are obsessed with the Kappa Kappa Tau sisters, and honestly, nothing beats channeling those iconic sorority looks for spooky season. I mean, who doesn't want to be a Chanel for a night?
Putting together the perfect Scream Queens outfit for your squad is actually super fun and can be surprisingly easy. The key, of course, is embracing that signature Chanel pink! Think chic, slightly preppy, but with a deadly edge. For the main Chanels (Chanel Oberlin, Chanel #3, Chanel #5), you'll want to find matching pink tweed skirts or dresses, faux fur stoles, and plenty of pearls. Don't forget those pastel-colored gloves! And of course, no Chanel is complete without her stylish, yet sinister, accessory ā a prop knife to really sell the 'Red Devil' vibe. I saw an amazing group photo once where they posed against a red background, all in their pink outfits, holding their knives ā it was pure perfection, just like the image in this post!
But it's not just about Chanel Oberlin! You can branch out and include other memorable characters to make your group even more dynamic. Think Hester Ulrich with her signature neck brace and slightly creepy, yet fashionable, twist. Or Zayday Williams, bringing a confident and smart vibe to the group. Grace Gardner's more innocent, retro-inspired looks could also be a fun contrast. The beauty of Scream Queens group costumes is that everyone can find a character that suits their personality while still looking cohesive.
To really nail the Scream Queens aesthetic, pay attention to the details. Hair should be perfectly styled ā think big, bouncy curls or sleek, straight locks. Makeup can range from natural and pretty for some characters to slightly more dramatic for others, especially if you're going for a 'just escaped a murder scene' glow. And don't forget the accessories! Think tiaras, statement earrings, and designer-inspired handbags. You can often find great dupes at thrift stores or online for a fraction of the cost.
My top tip for budgeting? DIY! You can buy plain pink skirts and tops and add faux fur trim with hot glue. Or find simple white pearls and spray paint them a pastel color. Itās all about getting creative! The most important thing is to have fun with your crew and embody that fierce, slightly unhinged Kappa spirit. Trust me, when your whole group walks in as the Chanels, you're guaranteed to turn heads and win any costume contest. So gather your besties, pick your favorite Chanel (or Hester, or Zayday!), and get ready for a killer Halloween!
