16 Iconic W Shoots for Halloween Costume Inspiration
It’s unclear what, exactly, Halloween will look like this year. Will there be parties? (Possibly—but surely they’ll be held outdoors, with masks required.) Will kids trick or treat? (Doubtful.) More likely, folks will be holed up at home doing what they’ve been doing for months: watching movies and television (albeit of the spooky variety). While the usual festivities might be on hold this year, there isn’t any reason why you should skip the most fun part of this holiday: dressing up. Here, you’ll find 16 classic W photoshoots to give you inspiration for a costume—even if no one but your roommate or spouse sees it. There’s Kelvin Harrison Jr., dressed as a prom date from the 1970s; Kate Moss and Cho Yeo Jeong giving two different takes on a nurse look; Janelle Monae cosplaying as a detective, and a pair sealed under a sheath of orange cellophane, preparing themselves for the apocalypse. The latter might be the scariest (and closest to home) costume of all.
