Not only is October Hispanic Heritage Month, but it's also when we don our best Halloween costumes and hit the town. While some might be pulling out the same tired cat ears from last year (no shade), we're here to help you channel your creativity into something truly spectacular. So forget about blending into the background with basic costumes. We're talking head-turning looks that'll have everyone asking for your Instagram handle. Ready to bring that special vibe to spooky season? Of course you are! Latinas aren't meant to blend in, and neither are these five creative costumes from our favorite Instagram creators that will definitely make you stand out from the crowd. 

Latina-Inspired Halloween Costumes:

1. Día de los Muertos

Beauty and style blogger Julie Sariñana's take on Day of the Dead leaves us awe-struck. We love the crisp blue details around the eyes and the overflowing crown of flowers.


2. Frida Kahlo

Photographer Marta Andrés' Frida inspired costume is perfection. From the jewelry to the dazzling head piece, every detail is spot on.


3. Selena Quintanilla

Keke Palmer slays with this iconic and memorable Selena look. From the rhinestone newsboy cap and bustier, our Selena would be proud of Keke’s rendition.


4. Wonder Woman

Nothing says #LatinaStrong like Wonder Woman, originally played by Chicana Lynda Carter. Actress Gal Gadot recreates the look perfectly.


5. Evil Queen

Lana Parilla played the Evil Queen on ABC's "Once Upon A Time" and @stavvytacos perfects the look, right down to the beauty mark and vibrant red apple.


Now get out there and werk those costumes! Tag us at @ModernBrownGirl_com with your best looks.
