Have a Fashion-Forward Halloween in these 5 Runway-Inspired Costumes

Tired of cheesy "sexy" halloween costumes that come in a bag? Step up your fashion game in 5 runway looks inspired by the recent fashion weeks around the world. Say goodbye to the traditional cop costume and devil costume, cuz these elevated, on-trend looks will have you lookin' far more fabulous than the friends who went to Party City.

1. Rihanna in Saint Laurent's $15,000 Heart Jacket

Who wouldn't wanna look like the should-be Fashion Icon of the Decade and founder of Fenty Beauty? Pay homage to this unforgivable bad bitch in slightly more affordable digs. (And make sure to draw on here signature chest tattoo to reveal to that special someone at the end of the night).

Get The Look: 

Red 3D Heart Jacket - $55, Dunes Red Sunglasses - $168, Leather Skirt, Topshop - $55, Fenty by Rihanna Hat, Urban Outfitters - $60

2. Balmain-Inspired Space Cadet Costume

The great thing about this silver space age? You'll actually wear all of the clothing items again (and again and again). And if you're not feelin' the $30 space helmet, just grab a box and some tin foil to make an easy DIY robot hat. 

Get the Look:

 

Lame Strappy Jumpsuit, Topshop - $95, Silver Etienne Marcel Sunglasses, Volterre - $168, Metallic Silver Boots, Asos - $76,  Space Helmet, Walmart - $30

3. Saint Laurent-Inspired Ice Queen

Kaia Gerber wasn't the only one who stole the show on Saint Laurent's Paris Spring/Summer '18 runway. Fluff yourself up with some white feathers to mimic the look straight from the catwalk, or add this awesome Ice Queen tiara to look like something straight outta Narnia. 

Get The Look: 

White Feather Bandeau top, Missguided - $57, Feather Tutu, Etsy - $30 Gunmetal Dunes Cateye Sunglasses, Volterre - $168, Ice Queen Crown, Etsy - $48

5. The Rainbow Fish, Jeremy Scott Edition

If you didn't read The Rainbow Fish as a child, we hope you had a decent childhood otherwise because this psychedelic fish was out-of-this-world inspiring. For the rest of you, pay tribute to the most fabulous sea friend in the sea with some rainbow sequins and an awesome mermaid makeup tutorial linked below. And what better way to mimic the Rainbow Fish's generosity than by handing out candy? 

Get The Look:

 

Vintage Sequin Dress, Etsy - $84, Dunes Gold and Turquoise Cateye Sunglasses, Volterre - $168, Sequin Knee-High Boots, Nasty Gal - $120, Mermaid Makeup Tutorial, Beta Fish Costume, Etsy - $75

5. Jeremy Scott's Modern-Day Kim Possible or Army Girl Costume

Beep beep, we've missed you, Kim - and apparently so did Jeremy Scott. Bring the old Disney Star to life (or be an army cadet) in a look that's updated for 2017, complete with the blogger-approved chainmail that blew up after Kendall Jenner's 21st bday. Bonus points if you have an old flip phone to carry around. 

Get The Look:

Cargo Pants, Asos - $64, Black Uluwatu Sunglasses, Volterre - $168, Silver Chainmail Top, Revolve h:ours -  $88, Girl Power Patch, Etsy - $8
