As the clock runs out on our Halloween costume coordination, we’re looking to our favorite famous women for inspo. If you went as Katy Perry last year and haven’t yet forgiven Ariana for donutgate 2015 (IT TAKES TIME), consider dressing up like our girl Taylor Swift this time around. Her impossibly chic yet definitely accessible style would make for an easy and recognizable costume. Best of all, most of these looks would be an awesome addition to your everyday wardrobe. So get crackin’! Our favorite holiday is approaching swiftly, in more ways than one (had to). Read on for 15 ways to win Halloween as the one and only TSwift this year.
1. VMAs Taylor: Taylor killed it on the red carpet at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. This look is not only comfy, but easy to mimic too. Bonus points for DIYing a metallic moon man. (Photo via Kevork Djansezian/Getty)
2. “Wildest Dreams” Taylor: Remember when Taylor went brunette for a hot minute? Channel her ’50s vibe with some ultra-glam curls, then add a white button-up and some high-waisted crop pants and you’re good to go. (Photo via YouTube)
3. “Wildest Dreams” Taylor, Lazy-Girl Edition: This look is all about the accessories, most of which you probably already own. Don an all-blue getup and add a polka-dot head scarf, cat-eye sunglasses and a TS signature red lip. Consider dressing your SO in an old-timey pilot’s uniform for the ultimate couples costume.

4. Nicki + Taylor: Looking for a pair of costumes to rock with your bestie? Go for this post-feud Swift-Minaj combo. We love us some TSwift, but we’re also partial to Nicki’s feathered headpiece… you might want to call dibs on that one. (Photo via Kevork Djansezian/Getty)
5. Street-Style Taylor: If you’re a thrifty gal dead set on a wear-again costume this year, look no further for some inspo for channeling Tay’s everyday looks. That tartan-patterned dress would work for any number of occasions, from autumn brunch with friends to Christmas dinner at Gma’s. (via Brit + Co)
6. Taylor + #Squad: Here’s an option for the procrastinators among us — all you need is a printer, some popsicle sticks and a group of glamorous gals. (via Brit + Co)
7. “Bad Blood” Taylor + Squad: Or maybe you have a bit more time on your hands between now and October 31? Head to the craft store and fire up your glue gun to recreate the looks from this star-studded video. (via Brit + Co)
8. “Blank Space” Taylor: The “Blank Space” video is basically one big fashion fest, and this fierce look is no exception. The fun and the challenge of this costume, though, will be nailing the makeup (check out our crying makeup tutorial here). (Photo via YouTube)
9. “22” Taylor: You’ll have it all goin’ on when you DIY this dispassionate tee and top it all off (literally) with a bowler hat. (Photo via YouTube)
10. Looking Sharp Taylor: This is such a chic, flattering way to dress as Tay-Tay. Don’t forget to carry around a golf club a la the “Blank Space” video for a clever touch. (Photo via Christopher Polk/Getty)
11. Blinged-Out Taylor: Go full-on diva in an outfit inspired by this sparkly number. A crop top is essential to achieving this look, but feel free to add some sparkly tights to stay warm or other blingy accessories to take it up a notch. (Photo via Sascha Steinbach/Getty)
12. Pretty in Pink Taylor: Another 1989 Tour date, another adorable, copy-able outfit that’ll make a perfect permanent addition to your wardrobe. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty)

14. “Shake It Off” Taylor: Inspired by yet another inspo-riffic TS tune, this collection of looks — from B-Girl to Cheerleader — offers all the ideas you’d need to embody the styles from her mega-hit video. At least that’s what people say, mm mm. (Photo via YouTube)
15. Throwback Taylor: True fans remember our girl’s tidy waves and mid-2000s style. Why not go OG Taylor this year? Don’t forget the cowboy boots. (Photo via Michael Buckner/Getty)
