About this costume
Still playing to a house that emptied decades ago, the Cabaret Ghost is the vintage Halloween costume idea for anyone who wants old-Hollywood glamour with a ghostly twist. Faded sequins and a feather boa make this an unforgettable costume for adults who'd rather haunt the stage than the graveyard.
DIY this look
The Cabaret Ghost costume is a great pick if you already own (or can thrift) old sequin stagewear - everything else is makeup and attitude.
- Find a sequin or sparkly dress and dust it lightly with baby powder for a faded look.
- Apply the greyscale glam palette heavier than you normally would - this look reads better exaggerated.
- Drape the feather boa loosely over one shoulder.
- Hold the vintage mic prop like you're mid-performance for every photo.
