When it comes to Halloween costumes, it’s like a record is broken that keeps playing the same song. It is unusual for people to come up with a rare and unprovocative costume. I’m here to break the barriers and to bring something new and fresh to the table. This series is all about Halloween costumes, but are catered to the true, fashion influencers. To start off this series, a power, style icon is needed to open with a bang! Who else fits the profile than the editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour.
Anna Wintour has a style of her own and is especially known for a few key pieces. To start with, her hairstyle always remains the same. With the blonde bob that is blown out to curl under, everyone can point her out from a mile away. They say you are a true influencer when you always have the same haircut. Secondly, her sunglasses. Anna Wintour is always spotted wearing sunglasses, even inside. She seems to always wear a specific, vintage, Chanel pair, but I have linked a couple of other options down below.
As for her footwear, she tends to go with her holy grails. For the past two decades, she rarely seems to switch up her footwear. She tends to favor a Manolo Blahnik, nude, low-heeled slingback sandal. Ever since Mr. Blahnik himself molded her foot and designed around a wooden model, she has stuck to three different variations. Depending on her skin tone throughout the year, she has three different shades of nude, reptile-skined pumps that she rotates out. I even found a Calvin Klein pair in a similar style, that also come in different shades of nude.
Regarding her choice of silhouette, this is the common denominator of hers. She usually goes for a an a-line or tubular silhouette. To keep things simple, a dress would be the most sufficient option for a costume, with a faux fur piece layered overtop. She is known for sporting high-necked, sleeveless, shift dresses with a faux fur pieces layered overtop. Above all, I find this to be her most recognized style. I have provided you a bunch of different options that are inspired by her. Each dress is parallel to its matching fur partner down below. Most of the options are from Forever 21 or Shein. I find these to be the most afforable brands to shop for costumes. In addition, ASOS has a plethora of options.
To finish off the look, the final touch of bling is in order. Once again, Anna Wintour sticks to her favorites. By layering on a bunch of J.Crew, circular stone necklaces, you will really capture the ambiance of her. In almost every outfit, you can find her representing J.Crew style jewelry. Don’t forget to grab one of your designer bags and never wear head-to-toe black. Most of these pieces are extremely affordable, but some pieces are worth the splurge. All of the pricier pieces listed are currently on trend and can be worn throughout the season. How many of your Halloween costumes can do that?
