Halloween at Skidmore is an essential part of your experience. Here’s your guide to the best costume inspo for the 2025 season: 

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)

Cargo shorts, black tank, boots, and it gives off a super cute and sassy look. Double the points if you can pull off a braid that will stay intact.

Hamzah and Martin (Spider-Man & Naruto)

Super niche, but for the Slushynoobz fans, you get it. Comicon. 

Dragonfly

The makeup for this would be perfect, shimmering wings, metallic makeup, and glitter everywhere. Mixed with the wings and some green clothes, it is perfect.

Jennifer’s Body

A little basic, but perfect for anyone with dark hair and blue eyes. Bonus points if your friend goes as needy.

Jess and Nick (New Girl)

The couple, or best friend costume, nobody saw coming. The scene where they are locked in the closet, Jess wearing a bra and tutu, and Nick wearing a trenchcoat. It’s perfect. 

Bambi

Cute and classic, yet perfect as a last minute costume. The makeup is adorable with the white spots and bronzed look, perfect for anyone who isn’t super into halloween.

Coachella 2016

Throwwwbackkkk. A flower crown, a cut crop top, fringe, and bringing back the Tumblr days. Who else wished they got to live out Coachella 2016?

Waffle House Lana

One of the most iconic Lana Del Rey looks. The blue polo, name tag, and black skirt, the ones that get it will get it.

Polar Bear

Perfect for if you find yourself cold these nights. A white fleece, cozy hat, and some cute white bear ears, super adorable. 

Mantis (Guardians of the Galaxy)

For the marvel lovers. A green outfit, antenna headband, and some cute green sparkly makeup. Unique, but known.
