Halloween is tough as it is. But when there are only so many prominent female figures in pop culture at the moment, you’re likely to find yourself in a squabble or two about who calls dibs on being Beyonce for Halloween. If this sounds like you and your friends, we have a solution for you! Why don’t you each pick a version of Queen Bey from her visual album which dropped December of last year (just too late to be a 2013 Halloween costume contender)? This way, everyone gets to be Beyonce! At least for a night.
Think that sounds like a lot of work or like you’ll be dropping a lot of coin to look like Her Royal Bey-ness? It’s really not, we promise. We even did most of the heavy-lifting for you already—peep our costume shopping guides for “Pretty Hurts,” “Haunted,” “Blow,” “No Angel,” “Mine,” “***Flawless,” and “Grown Woman” below!
