I’ve been a 1950s housewife and a mermaid, you know I’m an actress–is it any surprise that I would chose a Shakespeare character for our next Fashion Halloween segment? (Missed the last two? Get caught up here and ) I have always loved Macbeth, and when I tutored kids would always suggest Lady as a costume idea; mainly as I felt that it would be easy and fun –I mean who doesn’t want to pace and rub their hands saying “Out Damn Spot” all night? And this year? I decided to take my own advice! The look is simple (full disclosure, I based my look on the Marion Collitard version from 2015, haven’t seen that version? You should), all you need is a dress that lends itself to a gown, meaning maybe a train, maybe a sleeve, but really any long dress will do. (This dress look familiar? See the original look here) I happened to have a rhinestone headpiece. And chose to do very simple makeup-hallowed eyes as the main look. Of course, if you wanted a more “traditional” look you could of course rent a “Shakespeare” costume. However, a wild woman driven crazy and muttering to herself? That’s a fashion Halloween I could get behind!
