The most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner. Yes, I’m talking about Halloween! If you’re already brainstorming the perfect Halloween costume idea and adding all the fall-scented candles to your shopping cart, you’re in good company. One of the best ways to make the most of the creative holiday is by paying homage to the biggest pop culture moments, which is what brings us to Big Little Lies season two.
That’s right, the infamous Monterey Five made their long-awaited return to our screens this summer and one thing’s for sure, they did not disappoint. This season, the star-studded cast featuring Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Zöe Kravitz, Laura Dern, and Nicole Kidman followed suit and through the ultimate 70s-inspired birthday bash. The costumes were so amazing that we’re expecting to see a lot of friend groups create Big Little Lies Halloween costumes based off the far-out 70s party.
Inspiration For A Big Little Lies 70s Party Halloween Costume:
If anything’s for sure, it’s that these women know how to dress for a themed occasion. If you remember back to that fateful evening of the season one finale, elaborate Audrey Hepburn costumes at the school’s 50s-themed trivia night fundraiser will come to mind. This season, the Monterey 5 made their return to costumes in a fun, glittery, music-filled, 70s themed shindig that stood in stark contrast to the last time we’ve seen them decked out for a party.
The popularity of the series and the eye-catching looks that the characters wore in make for the perfect idea to recreate for this year’s Halloween costume. And while we’re fans of all the 70s-style looks they sported, it’s Witherspoon’s character, Madeline, whose outfit we’re dying to recreate!
