8 Halloween Costumes You Can Put Together in Minutes

If you haven’t already started planning your Halloween costume for the year, there’s a good chance you’ll be waiting until the last minute to put something together. After all, we can’t all have the dedication or the resources that rival that of Heidi Klum. Of course, even if it’s a minimalist costume, putting together something stellar for the festive night can cause more stress than it’s worth. But not to worry—we’ve got you covered.

Just because you’re putting together a costume in mere minutes doesn’t mean it can’t look great; all you need are the main pieces and the key accessories to throw together a quality Halloween look. Whether you’re dressing are your fashion icon or a character from your favorite movie, pulling off a spot-on costume is easier than you’d think. To get you started, we pulled together some of the chicest costumes that’ll only take minutes to spare. Check them out below.

Wendy Peffercorn

Name a fictional lifeguard as beloved as The Sandlot’s Wendy Peffercorn… We’ll wait. Sport a red one-piece swimsuit and white shorts to pull this look off.

Farrah Fawcett

Copying this Charlie’s Angels icon is easy when you throw on a hoodie and bell-bottom jeans.

Rosie the Riveter

Cat

Yes, you can spend Halloween as a cat. All you need is a black dress and ears to top it off.

Twiggy

No one nailed the mod ’60s look like Twiggy. To steal her style, all you need is a shift minidress with a pair of block heels.

Margot Tenenbaum

Is there a more fashionable character to mimic than Margot Tenenbaum? Sport a polo dress with a faux-fur coat for this simple costume.
