So you waited until the last minute, and now you have nothing to wear to your Halloween party. Don’t panic, we’re here to help. Some of the best (and easiest) costumes are made with a little imagination and a few simple items you might already have in your closet. And even if you don’t, Amazon can hook you up.
From Steve Urkel to Queen Bey, we shopped Amazon to recreate the looks some of the most iconic figures in Black culture. Everything you need for these last-minute DIY costumes can be at your door in no time.
Halloween is the perfect time to channel your inner Queen Bey with this bodycon dress with rhinestone accessories. It’s made with a polyester and spandex blend, giving you plenty of room to dance at the Halloween party. And just in case you don’t already have one on hand, you might want to grab yourself a wig while you’re shopping.
In honor of the late, great Richard Roundtree, try channelling your inner Black superhero in a Shaft-inspired costume. This last minute DIY costume is easy to put together with a leather trench coat and turtleneck.
If you’re looking to go all the way glam, try creating a costume inspired by one of the baddest Black women in primetime, Dynasty’s Dominique Deveraux. The iconic nighttime soap character was made famous by Diahann Carroll in the 1980s. All you need is a faux fur stole and a tie-neck midi dress. But be careful. If you go out in this costume, you might get the sudden urge to slap someone.
Whether you’re feeling like Eartha Kitt or Halle Berry, you can’t go wrong with a sexy Catwoman costume. This three-piece set comes with a catsuit, utility belt and mask.
You can pull an easy DIY Steve Urkel costume together with a polo, jeans and of course, his famous suspenders. We guarantee you’ll get the good candy if you say, “Did I do that?” when you’re out trick or treating.
If you’re planning to be out on Halloween night, you’re going to want to be warm. So why not create a costume inspired by the quirky and cute teacher, Janine Teagues of Abbott Elementary. Recreate her smart look with this wool maxi skirt and coordinating turtleneck.
A Brooklyn Dodgers jersey and red shorts are all you need to recreate the look worn by Spike Lee’s character Mookie in the classic 90s flick Do The Right Thing. Don’t forget to top off your look with an Africa medallion.
We’re celebrating hip-hop’s 50th birthday all year long. So this Halloween, why not go as one of the GOATs? Recreate LL Cool J’s look with a red bucket hat and track jacket. Don’t forget your gold chain and of course, your radio.
There’s no doubt, Foxy Brown was one of the most iconic figures in 70s Blaxploitation films. While no one does the character like Pam Grier, you can come close with your Halloween costume. Just tie up this button-down shirt with a pair of bell bottom jeans. Don’t forget the afro wig.
So I know I’m dating myself here, but this Michael Jackson “Human Nature” poster was one of my all time favorites as a kid.
