Jupiter, the planet of abundance, spirituality, and luck rules Sagittarius making this ever on the move archer full of wisdom and excellent at storytelling.

The outfit consists of deeper earth tones and your very own set of bow and arrows. The makeup is a monochromatic orange color scheme to really give your look an extra pop. This DIY costume is perfect for any Sagittarius on Halloween.

Barbie is an American (and in many place, global) household name. And it’s not just a doll line. She long ago branched into movies. And some, like Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper have a huge fan following. For good reason, too! The songs (where Barbie is voiced by Melissa Lyons) are catchy and Barbie herself (voiced in speaking parts by Kelly Sheridan) is an inspiration.

If you want to channel your inner Barbie princess – and the good she tries to do – you’ll want to start with a pink ballgown. A few examples are included above since a princess rarely has only one dress. You’ll also need a long blonde wig, a gold tiara, a gold choker, and gold shoes. Gold ribbon can add bow details to your gown as well. And of course you’ll want a white cat just like the princess!

Maggie Pesky (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) is the 13-year-old fly protagonist of the Disney show The Buzz on Maggie.  Maggie dreams of being a rockstar and has psychic visions of the future.  Maggie’s costume includes chunky boots, a yellow skirt, and bright pink hair and socks.  She also often rocks a double-necked guitar, but purchasing one would be an expensive proposition for a costume.  Instead, you could use two inflatable guitars and to create a double-necked prop by cutting off the neck of one and taping it closed after it’s inflated.  If you’d like to take your costume to the next level, you could also follow a DIY tutorial like this one to create additional arms, as Maggie has four.

Eve (Inbar Lavi) is a character in the fourth season of Lucifer. She’s the first human woman in creation. She’s an energetic party girl with a tendency to act on a reckless impulse. While intended to be Adam’s wife, Eve had a secret relationship with Lucifer Morningstar. Unhappy with her husband in heaven, she finds a way to Earth and reunite with Lucifer. This throws Chloe Decker and Lucifer’s budding romance into a loop as Eve becomes his girlfriend again. But Lucifer breaks it off when he realizes she wants the old devil, admitting he has changed. Thinking returning to Hell would make him more like his old self, she brings demons to Earth, accidentally fulfilling a prophecy. However she redeems herself by helping prevent the archangel Amenadiel’s infant son from being taken by the demons. Eve realizes she is out of touch with people’s feelings and chooses to explore Earth to find herself.

Hermione Granger (played by Emma Watson) is the brains of Hogwarts’ most notorious trio. At least the most notorious while she was in school there. Usually Hermione wasn’t one to stand out from the crowd except with her intellect. But when the Yule Ball rolled around the stole the show in her lilac dress, slick curls, and the school’s visiting heart throb as her date.

You might be hard-pressed to find your own Viktor Krum but you can certainly copy Hermione’s look. You’ll want to start with a long curly wig since one of the first things noticed about Hermione at the ball was her hair. You can achieve the same updo with hair pins and this YouTube Video. There are also video tutorials on how to copy her exact makeup look as well.

Once you have your wig set, add in a violet ballgown and some plum ribbon as a sash. Finding her exact dress is a little difficult (though there are patterns online if you are handy with a sewing machine) but there is one listed above. A few similar dresses are also included that may be a little more affordable. Once you have chosen your gown just add in some enamel flower earrings, silver heels, and Hermione’s wand. We might not have seen it at the ball but it’s not likely that she didn’t have it close at hand!

Bismuth is a character in Steven Universe. She is a former and current member of the Crystal Gems. During the Rebellion, she worked as a blacksmith, but then she got into a conflict of interest with Rose Quartz. Bismuth got bubbled and remained in the Pink Dimension until being freed by Steven. She proposed the same idea that she had to Rose: the Breaking Point, a weapon that could shatter any gems, even Diamonds. Like his mother, Steven rejected this idea and after an intense battle, he bubbled Bismuth again. He brings her back in the final fight against Homeworld, where she rejoins the Crystal Gems. Uzo Aduba, who you might recognize from Orange is the New Black, voices Bismuth. This costume requires some sewing. Sew the pink star onto the apron and the black star onto the right arm of the bodysuit.
