What The It Girls Are Wearing This Halloween
Halloween isn’t just about candy, scary movies, and haunted houses. It's also the ultimate runway. Every October, we at The Edge eagerly wait to see which costumes will take over the streets, the parties, and, let’s be real, our Instagram feeds. This year, it’s all about creativity, pop culture nods, and serving looks that say, “I didn’t come to play, I came to slay.”

Here are the Halloween costumes every It Girl will be rocking this year:
Glinda and Elphaba
Perfect duo costume: Wicked 2 hype
With Wicked: Part Two – For Good dropping right after Halloween, what better way to celebrate than dressing as the iconic frenemies? Grab your bestie and decide who’s the Elphaba and who’s the Glinda of your duo. Together, you’ll be the cutest witchy duo in the room.

Tweety Bird
Niche, fashion-girl approved
It’s giving cartoon couture. A Tweety Bird costume is unexpected, playful, and surprisingly chic if you go all in on monochromatic yellow. Think feathers, silk, and a bold blue eyeshadow look. Bonus points if you pull out the iconic Tweety pout for pics.

Taxi Driver
Checkerboard and leather inspo
This isn’t your average “I threw on some cat ears” kind of look. We’re talking a leather mini (like the car seats), bold black-and-white checkered details, and a little yellow accent. Don’t forget the pièce de résistance: a taxi driver cap. Insta caption idea: “Need a ride?”

Carrie Bradshaw
A timeless SATC moment
The tutu! The strappy heels! Big’s moving to Paris!? Carrie Bradshaw is eternal, and so is the Sex and the City girl gang. Bring your friends to the party as Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha for the ultimate group costume. Expect compliments all night long, because Carrie always gets them.

Flight Attendant (But Make It Hot)
A twist on a classic
We’re not talking about a stiff pencil skirt here. Imagine pastel pink or sky-blue uniforms, mini skirts, silk gloves, and a vintage-style flyers pin. It’s serving 1960s glam but with a Y2K edge. Oxygen masks never looked so good.

Victoria’s Secret Angel
Pink, rhinestones, wings
Yes, it’s been done before. But will we ever stop loving rhinestones, fluffy angel wings, and big Victoria’s Secret blowouts? Absolutely not. A VS Angel costume is the perfect excuse to wear glitter, stilettos, and winged eyeliner (pun intended).

Pinkalicious
The nostalgia pick
Fancy Nancy had her comeback this year, but what about our OG pink princess? Pinkalicious is girly, glittery, and fabulous, no shame in going full Barbiecore for Halloween. The only rule? If it isn’t pink, it doesn’t make the cut.

Ladybug
Oldie but goldie
Sexy cats are overrated. Sexy ladybugs? Iconic. A polka-dot matching set, thigh-highs, gloves, or even a mini dress can elevate this nostalgic costume into the It Girl zone. Red + black = always a slay.

Waffle House Lana Del Rey
A viral pop culture moment
If you want the most niche costume that screams “chronically online,” here it is: Waffle House Lana. Recreate her Alabama diner look with a navy polo, your very own “Lana” name tag (Canva is your bestie), and a stack of waffles in hand. The Lana stans will bow down.

Halloween is your chance to channel a character, live your main character moment, and let your outfit do the talking. Whether you’re a VS Angel or Waffle House Lana, you’re guaranteed to turn heads this year.
