It’s finally October which means Halloween is coming! I love Halloween for many reasons (Haunted houses and being scared not two of them) but one of my favorite is because you can dress up in strange looking clothes and it’s not weird. In my opinion, some of the weirdest clothes come from haute couture, but some of the most beautiful as well. In light of this, I decided to share some looks from haute couture houses that I believe would also work for costume ideas.

Before I go into my ideas for costumes, some of the ideas are not readily available as-is and will require creativity and sewing to create. Also, I know full well that 2020 is a year when Halloween may not be as fun as previous years or allow for dressing up. I wrote this post in October 2019 and didn’t get around to publishing it until this year.

Dior released the video of their fall/winter 2020-2021 haute couture collection on July 6, 2020. The video, which can be seen on YouTube here, popped up on my YouTube recommendations the day before it premiered. When July 6, 2020 arrived, I sat down, watched it, and loved so many of the designs from the collection. I had a hard time picking out dresses I liked from Dior since Maria Grazia Chiuri took over as head designer. Although there are many designs I liked, I also felt like it wasn’t something I could wear with normal curves to my body. It was frustrating to see a fashion house I loved growing up but now as an adult can’t wear. But the 2020-2021 collection was an exception.

There are many dresses I would love to own, if I was going somewhere I needed to wear a formal dress, as well as an 1890’s style dress that makes my Steampunk side excited to see as “fashionable” in 2020. Because there are so many dresses I love, I wanted to feature my favorite dresses in this collection.

All the photographs in this post are from Vogue US’s coverage of the collection. You can see the coverage of the collection here.
