Legendary Halloween costumes

Medusa Gorgon

Her mythological image is not just a monster with snake hair and a petrifying gaze. She symbolizes power, beauty, and danger in one. In modern interpretations, Medusa is a confident woman unafraid of her dark side. To recreate the look, wear a fitted metallic dress, greenish or golden makeup, and snake-shaped accessories. Hair can be styled in tight braids or a "snake nest" effect using small elastics and hairspray.

Witch

A classic that never fails. A black dress is the base. Add stockings, lace gloves, a pointed hat, and most importantly — a gaze full of power. For some fun, carry a broom, black candle, or even a black cat. The look can be made elegant or spooky — it all depends on your mood.

Harley Quinn

Her wild personality and rebellious style are instantly recognizable. To create this look at home, you’ll need shorts, a cropped top, two pigtails, and contrasting makeup — one side red, the other blue. Add bright eyeshadow, glitter, and confidence — it’s her attitude that makes Harley unmistakable.

Halloween is a night when you don’t need to explain your look. There are no limits between scary and sexy. There’s only you, your imagination, and a little desire to misbehave.
