Happy Halloween! What better way to dress up than with a luxurious fur coat? From classic Hollywood icons to unforgettable TV and film characters, fur coats add a touch of glamour (and warmth) to your costume. Here are eight stylish Halloween costumes you can create with a fur coat, plus tips on pulling off each look flawlessly.

1. Cruella de Vil: The Classic Villain

Channeling the wicked glamour of Cruella de Vil is a Halloween classic, and a fur coat is essential. Choose a black-and-white fur coat to capture her striking monochrome style. To complete the look, pair it with a sleek black dress, red gloves, and a bold red lip. Consider a split black-and-white wig to add that final flair, and you’re ready to dazzle.

Style Tip: Add a long cigarette holder and some daring jewelry for an extra touch of Cruella’s dramatic flair.

2. Anna Wintour: The Fashion Queen

For a costume that’s chic and iconic, go as Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief. A luxurious leopard print fur coat, and a structured bob wig are key to pulling off this look. Don’t forget to accessorize with oversized sunglasses and a statement necklace. Anna’s timeless style is all about minimalism, so stick to clean lines and elegant colors.

Style Tip: Add a copy of Vogue under your arm for a fun prop that everyone will recognize instantly.

3. Carrie Bradshaw: Fashion Forward Fur

For a stylishly spooky Halloween, look no further than Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Carrie’s character was known for her unforgettable fashion, and her iconic fur coat is no exception. Layer a knee-length fur coat over a slip dress or playful tutu, and finish off with Manolo Blahnik heels. Add a curly blonde wig and a mini purse, and you’re ready to make a Halloween entrance as NYC’s fashion darling.

Style Tip: If you’re really channeling Carrie, don’t forget her signature accessory – a Cosmopolitan! A martini glass as a prop makes for an instant conversation starter.

4. Frankenstein Bride: Fur with a Twist

Add a twist to the usual bride costume by turning it into a Frankenstein Bride look with a vintage fur bolero. Pair a white slip dress with a delicate fur bolero or shrug, and add green makeup for a hauntingly glamorous costume.

Style Tip: Layer smoky eyeshadow around your eyes and add a dark lip to amplify the eerie vibes, making your look even more compelling.

5. Daenerys Targaryen: Queen of the North

Take inspiration from Game of Thrones and go as Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. For this powerful look, a long, dramatic fur-lined cape or coat is ideal. Pair it with a fitted, medieval-inspired dress and some boots. The finishing touch? A platinum blonde wig styled in Daenerys’s signature braids.

Style Tip: Carry a small dragon prop to enhance the Daenerys vibe, or consider dragon-inspired jewelry for a fun twist on the character.

6. Carmela Soprano: Mob Wife Chic

Pay tribute to the legendary Carmela Soprano from The Sopranos. For this look, a short, plush fur coat layered over a bold, colorful tracksuit will make you look like a true mob wife. Finish the outfit with large hoop earrings, and add a voluminous hairstyle for a touch of ‘90s authenticity.

Style Tip: Carmela always had impeccable makeup, so go for a bold lip and dark eyeliner to add to the mob wife mystique.

7. Margot Tenenbaum: Aloof Charm

Transform into the unforgettable Margot Tenenbaum from The Royal Tenenbaums with a long, straight fur coat in tan or camel. Pair it with a simple striped dress, a sleek blonde wig with a signature hair clip, and dark eyeliner. Margot’s look is effortlessly chic and unique, making it an ideal Halloween costume for anyone who loves quirky style.

Style Tip: Pink gloves will add that extra bit of Margot’s charm.
