Into The Woods

Whether you’re looking for Halloween costume inspiration or just need a dramatic formal outfit (like this Burton-esque look from Alice + Olivia), take a page from the darker side of fairytales for your next fall look. Alternative Halloween outfit: just go as a slutty something-or-other. Sexy Pocari Sweat, anyone?

Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet fall collection: Dress, $7,290.
Shop 3078B, IFC Mall, 8 Finance St., Central, 2234-7253.

Halloween Costume Ideas

This year I asked my fellow inhabitants of HK Magazine HQ what they were being for Halloween. Three of the ideas are awesome—the rest of the team sucks at costumes. I’ve also collected a couple of easy movie-inspired ideas that I’m hoping to see stumbling down Wyndham next weekend—while snapping selfies.

Movie Magic

Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy”
This is hands-down my favorite movie and character of the year. Please, someone do this.
Mask, $790, Matteo Party (3/F, 530-532 Jaffe Rd., Causeway Bay, 2342-8887, www.matteoparty.com).

Anna and Elsa from “Frozen”
I wasn’t a fan of Disney’s return to musicals but everyone else was. Good BFF costume.
Dresses, from $1,088, Cosplay HK (www.cosplay.com.hk).

Maleficent
Sadly the movie sucked but Angelina was deliciously wicked. Don’t forget the cheekbones and red lips!
Dress and horns, $790; staff, $600, Matteo Party.
