Halloween is fast approaching and chances are you might not have a costume sort yet.
Luckily for you, there is plenty of inspiration to pull from this year, from the summer's hit movies and trending TV shows to beloved stars who passed away and some very specific Irish memes to riff off on.
Jonathan Anderson
We're starting strong here.
If Dior's recent ad campaign for the fashion house's collaboration with film studio A24 proved anything, it's that it is incredibly easy to mimic the personal style of Derry-born Creative Director Anderson.
Take some jeans, a flannel shirt, chunky trainers and an unshakeable exhausted look in your eyes (it's hard designing 18 fashion collections in one year!) and you're basically there.
Dolly Parton
The iconic and eternally glamorous self-confessed queen of tack herself, Parton loved a theme, and no doubt would have embraced the campness of Halloween with both bejewelled arms. She even shared some inspiration pictures with her fans on Instagram a few years ago!
Since her passing in August at the age of 80, scores of fans have been rediscovering her most memorable looks, and you certainly have a lot of moments to choose from, from her many butterfly-themed looks to the characters she played in hits like Steel Magnolias and 9 to 5.
If in doubt, tease a long blonde wig into enormous curls, throw on some rhinestones and a cowboy hat and add a set of fabulously long press-on nails.
Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Show
Another legend we lost this year, Tim Curry will forever be associated with Frank-N-Furter, the devilishly seductive alien he played in cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Nailing this look requires some basic elements: a curly black wig, lashings of dark eyeshadow, a deep red lip, a corset, sheer stockings and that iconic pearl choker. If you want to stand out from the crowd of Frank-N-Furters on Halloween night, you could opt for his laboratory outfit, complete with a green hospital gown and pink washing-up gloves.
Tim Curry in IT
For something that screams 'scary' rather than 'sexy' - and we mean literally - why not try your hand at embodying one of Curry's most frightening characters: Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King's IT.
All you need is some white face paint, a clown nose, some yellow false teeth, a frizzy red wig and the closet item of clothing you have to a clown costume.
The Odyssey
Christopher Nolan's interpretation of Homer's epic poem was the blockbuster of the summer and will no doubt inspire many a Halloween costume this year. The sprawling cast offers plenty of inspiration, from Odysseus himself in his suit of armour or worn rags, to Penelope, his loyal wife, in her regal gowns.
You could even pay homage to Zendaya's ethereal turn as the goddess Athena in a white robe and angelic makeup, as per her jaw-dropping appearance at the film's London premiere, as broken down by the star's makeup artist Ernesto Casillas here.
Widows Bay
Want to go for something trendy and spooky? Dressing up as one of the characters from celebrated comedy horror show Widow's Bay should be your first port of call.
Choose from Mayor Tom Loftis' windbreaker and panicked smile combo, to Patricia's floral dress and your choice of tiara or demonic headpiece - if you know, you know.
Ireland A vs Ireland B meme
If you're not chronically online, this one might have passed you by, but it's too versatile to not include. When the 'Ireland A vs Ireland B' meme popped up, it perfectly summed up the two sides of our country: moustachioed, Pellador-wearing Fontaines D.C. fans in one corner, American country music-loving fans of The 2 Johnnies in the other.
Either channel your inner stereotype, or walk a mile in the other's shoes for a night!
