Oct 22 13 Unique Costumes to Win Halloween

Every year October 31st sneaks up just a little too quickly and every year I find myself promising I'll be more creative next Halloween. If you are in the same costume rut, often resorting to wildlife of various denominations (looking at all the mice, deer and cats out there...) do not fear, Mumbles and Bumbles is here with some unique costumes so you can finally win at Halloween.

Check 'em out below and comment below with your favourite costume ideas!

1. Margot Tenenbaum

The Royal Tenenbaums

Feeling moody? This costume is perfect for all our fellow Wes Anderson buffs. Head to your local thrift store to pick up a (faux!) fur jacket and polo dress. Accessorize with a barrette, smokey kohl-lined eyes, sleek hair, and voila! Margot Tenenbaum in the flesh.

Grab your bestie for this one: for all the V's out there, play up her classic sultry look with big barrel curls and a red lip. Stick to jewel tones for the most impact. The Betty's can contrast with a sporty ponytail and stick to a sweeter palette - pretty pastels and creams.

Scooby Doo

What's scarier than Scooby Doo (okay, we're wusses, we'll admit it!)? This costume is a kick-ass tribute to two of the coolest gals in the detective bizz - perfect for a spooky night out with your bestie.

Penny Lane is admittedly my cinematic crush. She is epic and totally easy to emulate if you are feeling the boho vibes. A shearling coat, metal lunchbox, round blue shades and white peasant shirt are the thrift shop basics for her classic look.

Going out as a trio? Try grabbing some morph suits and slipping into your role as a transcontinental teenage spy - c'mon admit it, this was your dream growing up.

This costume is always age-appropriate and always cute. If you really feel like committing, don't forget your appendix scar! Very method acting of you.

Nothing's more fun than playing the bad guy and Cruella de Vil truly is the chicest of them all. White hair spray, a big (faux!) fur coat and a stuffed puppy - you are good to go for your night out.

Could she be any cuter? Striped yellow shirt, overalls and the chance to wear your sneakers all night sounds like a cozy-win to me!

Pay homage to what may have been the best Bachelor entrance/ contestant in the show's history. If you really want to commit to the character, insist you are a dolphin all night while wearing what is obviously a shark outfit.

Because who doesn't want to be Beyonce for a night, and let's just admit, this was one of Beyonce's most iconic moments in her history of iconic moments.

Perhaps the scariest couple costume of all.

12. The Old Taylor

(The new one can't come to the phone right now...)

This one is an easy recipe for success: draw a 13 on your hand, your favourite lyrics on your arm, don your most glittery dress, and set your hair in ringlets. Ta-da! You are now the world's most recognizable pop star.
