Halloween Chic Is In—Here’s How to Nail the Witchy Aesthetic the Fashion Way
Magic looks better in Miu Miu—and this Halloween, our favorite celebrities are conjuring up the chicest take on occult-inspired style yet. Forget the overdone costumes and predictable clichés; this season calls for dark romantic tones, sculptural silhouettes, and the power of vampy couture.
It girls Charli XCX, Jenna Ortega, and Amelia Gray are leading the charge, turning Paris runways and New York press moments into displays of feminine power and poise—everything the archetype of the witch embodies. If you’re eager to join the coven, take a cue from their spellbook: Think precision tailoring, dusky palettes, and a restrained glamour that lingers like a spell. After all, it must be the season of the witch. Ahead, see the chic Halloween-ready outfits the most stylish women are sporting this season, and then shop for your own.
Haute and Hypnotic
Charli XCX is giving Victorian vixen in a crisp white blouse, a cinched waist, and a fluid pleated skirt. Paired with a sleek leather boot and dramatic sunglasses, it’s dark romance done the Charli way: sharp, confident, and quietly spellbinding.
Naomi Watts commanded attention at Paris Fashion Week, delivering a lesson in power dressing. The White Lotus star’s pinstripe suit, pointed pumps, and glossy black bag strike the perfect balance between authority and allure—proof that being the boss never looked so chic.
ELLE’s September cover star Rosalía channels her signature blend of grunge and grace, pairing a fluid white gown with a lived-in shearling jacket. Effortlessly cool and entirely her own—this is off-duty star power redefined. A masterclass in contrast, it’s the kind of look that feels both undone and untouchable.
Dressed in an inky halter top with a plunging neckline, capris, and sharp pointed heels, the model-turned-fragrance mogul Bella Hadid embodies that perfect blend of sultry and spellbinding. The layered gold jewelry and minimal smoky makeup give the look a touch of mystique—a little witch, a little femme fatale. With a leather jacket in hand and those barely-there sunglasses, it’s the kind of off-duty look that turns a midnight moment into pure magic.
There’s nothing costume-like about this kind of magic. Stepping out at Paris Fashion Week for Miu Miu, Kylie Jenner transforms the streets into her own runway in a lace-on-lace vision that feels both vampy and refined. The fitted black dress, paired with sheer grey stockings and glossy accessories, strikes the perfect balance between gothic seduction and minimalist modernity—proof that Halloween-chic can be more about attitude than theatrics.
In true Morticia Addams fashion, Catherine Zeta-Jones turns head-to-toe black silk into a lesson in sleek seduction—sultry, controlled, and slightly sinister. This is true Halloween-chic at its most refined.
Like mother, like daughter. Jenna Ortega channels her on-screen persona in an all-black ensemble that feels both reminiscent of Wednesday Addams and runway-ready. The cropped satin blazer and sheer lace skirt strike gothic romance and sharp sophistication—proof that dark dressing can be both delicate and defiant. With her signature bangs, crimson nails, and that effortless air of mystery, Ortega cements her status as the reigning queen of the modern-day coven aesthetic.
Amelia Gray embodies It Girl energy with a gothic twist. The new Victoria’s Secret model masters quiet confidence in a structured leather jacket and tailored skirt—an outfit that feels equal parts power and allure. With clean lines, dark tones, and a sharp silhouette, it’s minimalist glamour at its most magnetic. A reminder that the best kind of edge is effortless.
Stepping out at the Ann Demeulemeester fashion show, Demi Lovato shows how gothic glamour can be fierce and refined. The plunging black ensemble, complete with flowing layers and a razor-sharp silhouette, channels her signature edge with an elevated twist. With wet-look hair and smoldering intensity, she truly captures the true essence of a witch: dark, powerful, and unapologetically self-assured.
