The Halloween Inspiration Board: Anna Wintour

If you’ve ever wanted to be truly feared, we’ve got the costume for you. We’re not talking “scary” in the way that zombies or pre-Twilight vampires are. That’s child’s play. We’re talking grown women (and men) crying in closets in your wake. For that kind of terror, Vogue editor Anna Wintour is your only option.

1. If you don’t wear sunglasses, people may see your eyes. Some say that the eyes are the window to your soul. The crux of your Anna Wintour costume revolves around people believing that you don’t have a soul. Never take off those sunglasses. [$8, Tilly’s]
2. Fur. Wear it. This particular item is faux, but you get the idea. [$23, Forever 21)
3. Anna, though technically a fashion icon, wears more or less the same floral or printed sheath dress sort of thing all the time. Do not deviate. [$79, Helene Berman, Nordstrom]
