Best TV Halloween Costume Ideas Inspired By Your Favorite Show & Film

Halloween is fast approaching and I am sure your social calendar is filled with a bevy of Halloween parties to attend this weekend. Why not step up your costume game and give the bunny or cat ears a rest this year- Let’s face it, you are so much better than that! Elle magazine recently celebrated their Women in Hollywood event held in Los Angeles, which has inspired us this Halloween. After flipping through fashion photos, we found some amazing TV Halloween costume ideas for dressing up this weekend as one of Hollywood’s leading ladies.

There are 7 cool women we want to be for Halloween. The female icons, or the characters they played in film or television emulated great style, boldness and appeal over the past decades. All looks can be found online at Rent the Runway. Added bonus? When you are done partying, simply return it instead of having it take up space in your closet. Therefore, trust me, I still have my Minnie Mouse and Pocahontas costumes in my closet. Whichever you choose, make sure to have fun with it!
