Still searching for your 2020 Halloween muse? Catwalk shows from years gone by are a superb starting point for those keen to dress up for spooky season while still looking stylish. Why not take a turn as a Kate Moss-esque witch, inspired by her appearance on Martine Sitbon’s spring/summer 1993 runway? Or you could channel a dagger-wielding bride à la Bella Hadid at the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood autumn/winter 2020 show.
And just because this year’s celebrations will be socially distanced, it doesn’t mean you can’t enlist friends for a group effort. Congregate in a pub garden dressed as the original supers, inspired by Versace’s epic spring/summer 2018 runway reunion, and you’re guaranteed to turn heads.
Killing Eve fans should look to Molly Goddard-inspired tulle to recreate Villanelle’s star-making on-screen moment, while anyone keen to emulate Wednesday Addams should add looks from Prada’s autumn/winter 2019 show to their Halloween moodboard. Crafty types could draw on Moschino’s cardboard-heavy autumn/winter 2017 showcase for inspiration, or the Comme des Garçons spring/summer 1997 aesthetic—easily recreated with some artfully placed pillows.
Whatever your chosen mood, browse Vogue’s album of Halloween-worthy catwalk moments before deciding on your costume.
