Having a pair of some burlap or twine overalls, a straw hat, and your favorite pair of booties, you can put together this complementary costume in only a pinch!
Costume Tip: To achieve this spooky makeup look, Lauren dusted gray and green eyeshadow across her cheekbones and on her brow. She used the liquid liner pen to draw stitches on her forehead and cheek, and added a swipe of black liquid liner. Get Frankenstein’s signature square hairdo by massaging your hair at the sides, poofing up it to make “corners”, then tying it off in the back with a bun. Last but not least, to make the Frankenstein bolt have a pair of ear plugs and draw on them with a sharpie until they are black. Then stick to each side of your neck with tape or adhesive.

The two most famous figures in modern day fashion is sure to be a crowd pleaser. With a tiny white hairspray here and a tweed blazer there, you’re going to be looking as if you walked straight out of the offices of Vogue. Bonus points if you have a white kitten stuffed animal to use as Choupette!
For the Farmer:
…Because what good is Frankenstein with no bride? Grab a lacy white maxi dress, black lipstick, and white shampoo-out hair spray to get this appearance.

You Will Need:
You Will Need:

There are few articles we love more than our annual Halloween costume articles here on LaurenConrad.com (did you catch Lauren’s costume reveal last week?) . And while there are certain years where we have plenty of time to plan our crafty costumes out a month in advance, other years are more of a type of procedure. If this Halloween is the latter for you we have the trick. Is a few items from your own closet and your bestie. Yep, you read that right: You really don’t have to spend a dime to recreate these easy best friend costumes. Here’s the way to put them together…

For Anna:

A Halloween classic, Frankenstein and his bride are a nod to old school spooky costumes. And, we bet you did not think you could place both ensembles! Make sure that you have green cosmetics, white hairspray and some ear plugs (a distinctive DIY item but a great costume trick!) on hand.  

You Will Need:

• Overalls
• plaid top or flannel
• booties
• neckerchief
• brown eyebrow or eyebrow appointment for freckles
• twine to tie off braided pigtails

If you can pull it off this costume is incredibly straightforward and a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Grab your sunnies, pearls, and your favorite black purse… And your Anna Wintour poker face, of course.

Costume Tip: To create the scarecrow straw effect, we used burlap ribbon and cut on the edges so that they created a fringe. We added them to the top hem of Rachel’s jeans, her sleeves, and the bottom hems of her jeans. You can create the exact same look by using straw. Do not forget to draw a scarecrow mouth (and a nose, if you’d like!) Using a black eyeliner pencil.

Costume Tip: For that extra touch, use your eyeliner or eyebrow pencil to draw freckles on your cheeks and nose. Then, tie your pigtails off with a piece of twine.

• Big sunnies
• tweed coat
• designer handbag
• black shift dress
• pearl necklace
• black pumps
• wig (optional)

• Black blazer
• white tuxedo shirt
• black bolo tie
• ordered sunnies
• white shampoo-out hairspray
• leather leggings
• black leather heeled booties
• black leather cut-out finger gloves

Let us know if you have some ideas in the comments below–we are always looking for costumes to put together here on the website!

Costume Tip: If you don’t have a bob haircut or a wig on hand, you can try to “fake it” by tying your hair into a bun and tucking the bun underneath and fanning the rest of your hair around your face.
Costume Tip: We utilized shampoo-out temporary white hairspray to obtain the white Karl Lagerfeld pouf look… Which is a fantastic and easy option if you have it on hand! Going the wig path is great if you are able to find a Karl-esque wig.

You Will Need:

• Black blazer
• black T-shirt
• black leather leggings
• black booties
• black lipstick
• black liquid eyeliner
• green eyeshadow
• grey eyeshadow
• teasing comb
• volumizing hair spray
• 1 pair of ear plugs
• black sharpie

When it comes to putting together this appearance your chicest items will do the trick. Think sunglasses, bolo ties, tuxedo shirts, leather leggings, and satin.
Costume Tip: To get the iconic Bride of Frankenstein white wave, we separated a piece of hair in the front and sprayed it with white shampoo-out hairspray, holding a paper towel over the rest of the hair so we did not get it white also. Repeat on the other side just clip on it in to a bun.

For the Scarecrow:
Boo! Lauren mastered the Frankenstein makeup with a bit of green here and some black lipstick there. The clothing for this appearance is extremely simple!
