Top 5 Unique and Sexy Halloween Costume Ideas
1) Skeleton
Symbolically, skulls represent mortality and death (like duh lol).
In Mexico, Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is celebrated between November 1st and 2nd, with festivities beginning at midnight on October 31st.
This Mexican holiday falls in line with the Catholic holidays, All Saint’s Day and All Hollow’s Day, and is meant to honor dead relatives.
2) Indian Queen
Known for its jewels and spices, India is a country that is rich in its history.
Once ruled by kings and queens, it is home to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations.
Historically, Indian queens command respect because of their bravery and beauty. Decked out in her finest jewels, an Indian queen is fearless and not afraid to defend the rights of her people.
3) Astro Babe
In 1961, the first American astronaut, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., travelled to outer space and two years later, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to fly to space.
Moreover, all the strides being made today in planetary sciences including space exploration are absolutely amazing, not to mention mind boggling.
Therefore, why not channel Halle Berry’s badass character Astronaut Molly Watts, in the ABC series Extant this Halloween?
4) Mermaid
The goddess of the sea, mermaids, are legendary aquatic creatures with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.
They are portrayed as beautiful, seductive maidens who were the aching desire of lonely sailors.
To add to that, they were also being cast as siren-like monsters that dragged men into the deep abyss.
5) Zoo Animal
Many of our endangered animals and protected species such as lions, tigers, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, etc. are showcased throughout the world in zoos.
Some animals are treated humanely and others are not. Wild animals are not pets and should not be taken-in because they are “exotic.”
If you want to help endangered species, you can donate to the World Wildlife Fund, the world’s leading conservation organization and a supporter of animal rights.

6) Disney Princess
Disney exploded onto the scene in 1937 with the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Since then, the name Walt Disney has been revered by the world for the specks of fantasy and heaps of happiness his films and enterprise have brought to families.
Disney princesses are the first exposure little girls get to seeing the strength women have within them. They teach kindness and morality and best of all, they teach little girls that inner beauty is what truly shines.
7) Unicorn
Surrounded in mystery and fantasy, unicorns—mythical creatures with the body of a horse and a single horn on their head—represent pure love.
Myth has it that they can live hundreds of years if left untouched by evil hands and can only be captured by virgins.
Imagine what the world would be like if all we gave to one another were genuine gestures of love.
8) Fairy
Many of us think of fairies and think of Tinkerbelle-like creatures—dainty and tiny, with wings and a magic wand—but history and folklore tell a different tale.
Fairies throughout history have not always been good natured, and in fact, have been known to play mind-bending tricks on their victims.
Personally, I prefer to think of them as nymph-like, forest dwellers with satchels of pixie dust who only seek to help people. Which would you channel, a good fairy or a bad fairy?
9) Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty is a Japanese bobtail cat with a red bow on her head. Created by Yuko Shimizu, Hello Kitty was added to the lineup of early Sanrio characters and first appeared on a vinyl coin purse.
Additionally, what most folks don’t know is that her real name is Kitty White and she lives in London with her parents and twin sister named Mimmy.
Guess what, she’s a Scorpio and was born on November 1, 1974. By 1976, she made her way to the U.S. market and skyrocketed to fame. Hello Kitty is a global icon, revered by women of all ages for her cuteness.
10) Joyous Rainbow
Factually, rainbows are caused by reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water droplets.
Hence, in order to see a rainbow, there must be rain, sunshine, and the person viewing the rainbow must be between the rain drops and the sun.
Beyond that, rainbows are a symbol of hope and can always put a smile on a person’s face. So, why not make someone happy this Halloween instead of giving them a fright?
