The Best 2023 Halloween Costume for You, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Halloween is the time to be whoever (or whatever) you want to be, quite literally.
Of course, picking the right costume isn't always easy, which is why we decided to let astrology do it for us this year. Your zodiac sign can say a lot about you, including which Halloween costume is the best for you in 2023. Check out the pairing for you here:
Aries (March 21-April 19): Roman Empire-Inspired
Aries has a reputation for being somewhat aggressive, especially since it's the first sign of the zodiac and the most fiery of all the fire signs. So, why would we give them anything other than a Roman Empire-inspired costume for 2023? If you've been anywhere on TikTok lately, you'll already know that this is a much-talked-about topic (although we're still not entirely sure why), so it's a great way to channel your trendy-yet-feisty style for Halloween.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Bridgerton/Queen Charlotte
Taurus loves all things luxurious, so we couldn't help but think that a costume from the Bridgerton universe would be absolutely perfect (especially thanks to the release of the spinoff series earlier this year). No matter how you choose to emulate the Victorian look, the Taurus attitude is essential for pulling it off properly.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Hailey Bieber's Red Dress Look
In a pop culture moment we won't soon forget, Hailey Bieber stepped out onto the streets of NYC in a red dress look that's gorgeous enough to make for a must-have at any Halloween event. Of course, being that Gemini is represented by the twins, this one would be especially great if you can find someone to do a couples or BFFs costume with by having your partner dress in Justin's interestingly cozy pink hat and sweats outfit.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Cher From Clueless
While the film itself may have come out decades ago, the style of the main character lives on in a major way in 2023. We think Cancer is the perfect sign to pull this one off, as it's a sweet yet sassy pairing that works well for any sort of Halloween gathering.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Barbie
No sign screams "main character energy" quite as much as spotlight-loving Leo, which is why we basically had no choice but to recommend Barbie as the perfect Halloween costume pairing. Whether you go for "Western Barbie," "Venice Beach Barbie" or any other rendition of the classic-doll-turned-feminist-icon, you can find the right costume without going over budget from sites like PrettyLittleThing.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Beyoncé Renaissance Tour
Beyonce is a true Virgo queen in more ways than one, so why would we recommend anyone else for this earth sign to dress as for Halloween? 2023 couldn't be a better year for it, especially considering the success of Queen Bey's Renaissance Tour and all the iconic looks that came along with it. Find your favorite one, then recreate it for a can't-miss costume that will be a true winner of any gathering you attend this year.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 23): Cruella
While the live-action Cruella film may have come out a couple of years ago, it's still an iconic enough look to work well in 2023. It's the perfect choice for Libra, considering that the sign is stereotyped as being rather indecisive, so a villain-ish fashionista with hair that's literally divided into two colors couldn't be a better pick for the scale-symbolized sign.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Wednesday Addams
Dark, mysterious Scorpio suits the character of Wednesday all too well, so we simply couldn't help but see this as the best Halloween costume for the moody water sign this year. There are plenty of ways to recreate the look, but as long as you have plenty of black items to wear with some bulky black shoes and pigtail braids, you'll be able to pull it off flawlessly.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Little Mermaid
Sure, we could've assigned Pisces to be everyone's favorite fish-human hybrid for Halloween, but that just would've been too easy. We think that Sagittarius is a much better fit for Ariel, who has the same drive to explore new places and challenge the status quo as the fire sign does.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Catwoman
Hardworking, serious Capricorn is deserving of a character that's equally as intense, which is what makes Catwoman the ideal costume for 2023. Channel your inner Zoe Kravitz and rock this all-black masked look with the confidence that only an anti-hero like Catwoman could.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Alien/Space Cowboy
Aquarius is a sign that's notably out of this world, so why would the costume we recommend for them be any less so? Space Cowboy and Alien looks are huge for 2023, and we know that Aquarius can pull it off like no one else. Simply throw on the shiniest look you can find, add a headpiece and some major boots, then add the finishing touch with some extra eye makeup that takes it to a level that's cosmically can't-miss.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Grogu
Gentle, dreamy Pisces is a perfect fit for the character that unexpectedly stole all of our hearts from the Star Wars universe. Baby Yoda, aka Grogu, is one of the cutest costumes on this list without a doubt, but you still have enough freedom to rock it in any way you so choose (we've seen everything from fitted styles to full-on snuggies work as costumes, so channel The Child as you please).
