Jessa Johansson
You will finally have a way to wear that large bird-like bustier thing in your closet. Or, you can pair your kimono with a high bun. Alternatively, go naked (bathtub optional) and blow snot rockets.

Frida Kahlo
It may be too late for you to grow in your brows fully before Halloween, but you can always fill them in. Wear big earrings, bright colors, flowers in your hair, and practice the intense gaze. You may find your Diego!

Billie Jean King
You'll need the glasses from last year's Walter White costume and a mullet wig that you may grow to love. Tennis whites complete the look.

Oprah
Wear your hair big and your confidence even bigger. You get the chance to exclaim, "Hell-ooooooo!" all evening. And your best pal can go as Gayle. And your best bald friend can be Stedman.

Gloria Steinem
This Halloween, you too can pull off Queen Gloria's trademark sunglasses. Or, you can use last year's sexy bunny costume to emulate Steinem's time reporting undercover in the Playboy mansion. Either way, go by "Ms."

Tavi Gevinson
