# Last Minute ⏱ Halloween Costumes for Cool Black Girls ...

If you're like me, your Halloween 🎃 costume ends up being an after thought 💬 or something that you put together in an hour or two, despite having the best intentions. I always promise myself that I'll plan better next year, only to fall into the same habit over and over again.

As a black woman, shopping for costumes is a constant struggle for me, which is why it always ends up being last minute. It's really easy to think about a clever costume that you *know* you will totally kill, but being able to find one that actually compliments your gorgeous skin and incorporates your sexy hair 💇 without having to hide it is where things get tricky. That's why I made this promise to myself this year:

You WILL find a costume that completely slays (without your friends having to spend 30 minutes ⏰ trying to guess who you're supposed to be).

Here's how you can do the same!

## 1. Member of the BeyHive

Okay ladies, now let's get in formation. This is your chance to show off your creative side. What's needed: A yellow and black dress 👗 (like a bee🐝, get it?) plus ➕ any Beyoncé memorabilia.

## 2. Michonne from Walking 🚶 Dead 💀

To my fellow Walking 🚶 Dead 💀 fans, this one's for you! There is greater badass than Michonne, so why wouldn't you want to be her? The best part about this halloween costume 👻 is that you probably own most of her outfit in your own closet. Now all you'll need is a plastic sword for extra brownie points.

## 3. Black Panther

Show off your pride with black leather and dark lipstick 💄. If you're like me 👌 and you're into all black everything all of the time, you're already halfway there.

## 4. The Wiz

Don't be afraid to go full out with your beat face 💁🏿. You can even make it a group thing!

## 5. The Incredible Iron Man

When I saw the original design for the teenage Iron Man, I couldn't stop applauding 👏 just how fierce she looked. I love 💓 that more female superheroes are getting screen time 🖥.

## 6. The Lioness

![hair, face, hairstyle, afro, jheri curl,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/sx/nl/lyd6dm0s58144e334f536039133101_500x500.jpg)

Two words: Braid Out. If you're a naturalista, your beautiful curls will really make this next look.

## 7. Janet Jackson Circa Poetic Justice Era

![hair, cap, clothing, hairstyle, fashion accessory,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/rb/la/so2qvrxj58144e46af35e443647202_400x400.jpg)

No one does box braids better than the original Queen 👑.

## 8. Flapper Girl a La Josephine Baker

![hair, face, clothing, person, black hair,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/xz/re/svux107u58144f518518e656736998_475x633.jpg)

Channel this beautiful brown-skinned goddess and her dark and dramatic Hollywood 🎥 inspired look. Get your gel (or a slightly curly wig) ready so you can slick back your hair.

## 9. Tia & Tamera Mowry

Grab your bestie for this iconic and totally sweet 🍯 costume.

## 10. Whitley from a Different World

Rollnecks, pencil skirts, twin sets and pearls ...

## 11. Annalise Keating from How to Get Away with Murder

Short wig? Check ✔️. Blazer or business suit? Check ✔️. Take-no-prisoners attitude? Check, check, check ✔️.

## 12. Lieutenant Uhura from Star Trek

![Vasquez Rocks, image, red, lady, beauty,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/m1/bv/tvd2uza05813a3af6e508462707868_500x625.jpg)

Be a part of the Starfleet with this quirky costume 🖖. A short red dress and black knee high boots is all you need.

## 13. Jenelope from Bring It on

Bring on major throwback feels in Jenelope's cheery uniform ✌️.

## 14. Catwoman

The best thing about this last minute idea 💡 is that it's super easy to pull off. You can pick up cat 🐱 ears and an eye mask at almost any clothing store.

## 15. Niobe from the Matrix

Keep it simple but sexy 😉 in bantu knots and a matching leather set. Your friends won't be ready for all the slayage going on 😏!

## 16. Diana Ross

Right off the bat, I knew that this was THE costume I just had to have. Rocking your fabulous fro and a sparkling ⭐ dress 👗 is a must for this one.

## 17. Penny Proud from the Proud Family
