GIA Halloween
the only halloween costume guide you need this year
Some costumes never go out of style. The angel, the devil, the bunny, the pirate, the nurse: they come back every October like they own the place, and honestly, they do. We're not here to reinvent the classics, just to do them better, with second-skin bandage, glossy corsets, Blare sets that double as costumes, and accessories that finish the look instead of explaining it. Whether you're going solo or need a devil for your angel, here are the looks worth stealing this year, all from GIA HALLOWEEN.
the devil
There's the devil costume everyone has seen, and then there's this one. THE BUFFY LATEX CORSET in red zips up the front and cinches in exactly where it should. The matching BUFFY LATEX MIDI carries it past the knee in one glossy, body-wrapping line. It's the grown-up version of the classic. Add red pumps, horns and a pitchfork, and go find your angel.
Naughty nurse
Test results are in: you've got the hots for her. The BETTIE DRESS in black takes the classic nurse costume and gives it a glossy finish, pink ruffle trim, a cross on the chest and built-in garter straps. Add a stethoscope and lace-top stockings, and consider the whole party in your care. Visiting hours run until late.
THE DARK BUNNY
Every party has a bunny, so make sure you're the one they're chasing. The CARMILLA PLATINUM BANDAGE TUBE TOP and MICRO SHORTS in black foil give the silhouette GIA built its name on a crackled, high-shine finish. Add THE DOE BUNNY MASK and keep them guessing who's behind it.
cinderella
Every group chat needs one, and she's always the last to leave. The CINDY SET in blue pairs a laced satin corset and off-the-shoulder sleeves with a tiered mini made to twirl. Add The PRINCESS TIARA and clear heels, the closest thing to glass slippers you can actually dance in. Just don't plan on being home by midnight.
angel
Heaven sent, hell bent on a good night. The ANGEL WINGS in white add soft, layered feathers to the look, styled here with The BONNY MINI DRESS in white lace, with an off-the-shoulder neckline, a draped tie at the hip and clear platform heels. She didn't fall from heaven - she left it for the party.
sexy nerd
Smart, sexy, and straight out of the library. The SOFI BUSTIER in pink plaid features a figure-hugging corset silhouette, contrast white off-the-shoulder trim and slim straps, styled here with The SOFI MINI SKIRT in matching plaid and thigh-high socks. She came to study, but she's definitely not here to behave.
pirate
The OCEANA CORSET SET pairs a brown leather-look corset, with button-strap detailing and a cream halter, with a ruffled mini made for walking the plank in heels. Add The BONNY PIRATE HAT in brown and lace-up knee-highs, then set sail for the open bar. She came for the booty... and brought her own.
wildcat
For the girl who can't be tamed. The SABRE CORSET sculpts the waist in a glossy leopard print, and The SABRE HOT SHORT matches it spot for spot. Add cat ears and let the party come to you. Nine lives, zero regrets.
pop diva
Every party needs a headliner, and this girl's always centre stage. The CHER HEADSET brings the mic-at-the-cheek energy of every Y2K tour, and the CHER JUMPSUIT finishes it off with a plunging halter neckline. Add pink platforms and take the stage. Lip-syncing is encouraged, and an encore is guaranteed.
candy striper
Why go trick-or-treating when you can be the treat? The MARINA TOP and MARINA SHORT come in sugar-pink stripes, with a tie at the front, button detail on the shorts and lace at the sides. Add a mini top hat and pink platform heels, and you're the sweetest thing at the party. Everyone's going to want a taste.
ringleader
Every group has a ringleader, and she's the one in head-to-toe black. The AKASHA HARDWARE BUSTIER laces up the front with buckle details at the waist, and The AKASHA HARDWARE HOT SHORT keeps the leather look going with snap details at the hips. Add knee-high boots, a choker and a riding crop, and nobody's questioning who's running the night. Her party, her rules.
bunny rabbit
For every dark bunny, there's a sweet one. The BUNNY LINGERIE SET comes in white lace with pink satin trim, tiny bows all over, and a garter-strap skirt. Add bunny ears and a fluffy tail, and walk in like you own the place. Looking this good on Halloween? What, like it's hard?
dark angel
Heaven kicked her out, and the party let her in. The KIARA DARK ANGEL WINGS SET in black comes with sheer bat-style wings, glitter horns and a matching staff, styled here with a glossy black catsuit and long gloves. Being bad never looked this good.
popstar
Silver, strapless and stealing the spotlight. The KHIA BANDAGE BOOB TUBE and ISELA PLATINUM BANDAGE MINI SKIRT wrap the body in metallic bandage with a crackled foil finish, turning the silhouette GIA built its name on all the way up. Add The CHER HEADSET and clear heels, and the party becomes her world tour. Front row is already sold out.
the fifth element
Some looks never stop being iconic, and this one has been saving the world since 1997. The QUINTA BANDAGE PLAYSUIT in white wraps the body in strappy cut-out bands, and The QUINTA WIG in orange finishes it with the sharpest bob in the galaxy. Bandage was never a phase, and neither is she.
