Easy Taylor Swift "Look What You Made Me Do" Halloween Costume Ideas

The video opens with an undead Swift clawing her way out of the grave where her reputation lies buried. (Subtle, right?) Of all the costumes, it's the most appropriate for Halloween, so it's perfect for horror aficionados. The most important part is the zombie makeup; there are plenty of online tutorials to practice before Oct. 31. Aside from that, all you need is a dirty blue dress and a shovel. Be sure to use cocoa powder on your skin to make yourself look appropriately grimy.

Unless you keep four willing, able-bodied men on retainer for all your Halloween costume needs, the chances of you finding someone to carry you around in a bathtub filled with diamonds are slim. The next best thing is to outfit yourself with all the sparkly, rhinestone-encrusted clothing and accessories you can get your hands on. Top it off with red lipstick and pearl earrings, and voila! You're Diamond Taylor.

A clear reference to her feud with Kim Kardashian, Swift's serpentine incarnation isn't for the faint of heart. Slick back your hair and carry around a (preferably fake) snake all night to get the full effect. Don't forget your red lipstick.

Swift has never really gotten up to the kind of antics paparazzi thrive on... except in the "Look What You Made Me Do" video. Grab some appropriately giant sunglasses, sweep your hair into a ponytail, and act an entitled fool all night. Bonus points if you carry around a Grammy (or any trophy, if you don't have an actual Grammy lying around) all night.

Back in 2009, when Swift received an award for Best Female Video at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West climbed onstage to grab the mic... and the rest was history. Nearly a decade later, Swift referenced the moment in her video.

To dress up as VMA Swift, simply find a long, metallic dress and pin your hair to the side. If you have time, spray paint an astronaut figurine to represent the video music award itself, and carry around a microphone in your other hand.

Remember the days when Swift was a curly-haired country singer? Indulge in a throwback with the Fearless-era Taylor costume. It's fairly easy; you'll just need an acoustic guitar, a short, glittery dress, and some knee-high boots.

Ah yes, the famous Ballerina Taylor from "Shake It Off." It's the perfect excuse to use your old ballet costumes if you have them. If not, just buy a white leotard and tutu. The headpiece is a little harder to find, but you can replicate it by pinning two large, white feathers in your hair or buying a feathery headband.

A reference to the video for "You Belong With Me," which was released in 2008, this incarnation of Swift is super easy to replicate. Just don some '80s glasses, pull your hair back, and buy a plain white T-shirt from a craft store. Write "JUNIOR JEWELS" in the middle, then have your friends sign it. As for bottoms, most of the music video takes place in her bedroom, so go for some pajama shorts or pants.

You might not remember the pink Oscar de la Renta gown Swift wore to the 2014 Met Gala, but she does. In fact, it's the dress in which she was buried. This costume is perfect for the fashion-obsessed friend.

So how are you supposed to mimic a one-of-a-kind designer gown? You... can't, really, but you can do your best to find a pastel pink ballgown. Remember to curl your hair and wear red lipstick.

Swift ultra-fans may remember her ringleader costume from the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards. To recreate this look, you'll need a top hat, red jacket, black shorts, and a cane to twirl around as you lead your squad into Halloween shenanigans.

Just as Swift released her inner goth for the dance sequence in the video, you can dress in a costume as dark as your soul this Halloween. Let your hair do its natural thing, and make sure your makeup is dark blues and plums. After that, you'll just need fishnets, black hot pants, and a long-sleeved crop top.

Swift managed to work her love for cats into the video; the costume is perfect for her fellow feline enthusiasts. The important parts are the cat mask, baseball bat, cat hoodie, and red boots.

Spiky Taylor's costume doubles as protection; those spikes will keep anyone out of your personal space. Dress up in all the studded, spiky clothes you can find.

A possible throwback to her retro "Wildest Dreams" video, this costume is simple. Dress in an orange shirtdress and boots (or thigh high socks if you can't find affordable over-the-knee shoes), and do your hair in a '40s wave. Add some vintage jewelry and a snake tattoo on your thigh, and you're all set.

Finally, the queen bee of your group — the one who's always making plans and taking charge — is predestined to be Reputation Taylor. It might be difficult to find a bodysuit emblazoned with "rep," but you can find a close approximation. As a final touch, start the night with your hair damp, like Swift's in the video.

Even if you can't get all the Taylors at once, you can pair up in any combination: Zombie Taylor and Met Gala Taylor, Fearless Taylor with Reputation Taylor, and so on. Happy Halloween!
