It’s Halloween Season and if you’re like me you know that you want to get a jump on your costume. With shipping times being so crazy sometimes it’s important to start planning in advance. That’s why we’ve put together this list. I love that Halloween is the best excuse to dress up as a character from your favorite show or movie so we’ve put together a list of really cool 80s and 90s inspired Halloween costumes that are straight out of your favorite pop culture moments.

• 2) Cher Clueless Costume

  Share

  Going as anything else for Halloween? As if! Clueless is still one of the best movies to come out of the 90s, and forever cemented Alicia Silverstone in my brain as iconic. The fact that she recently did a TikTok recreating the cookie burning scene too makes this a great choice.
