Halloween is the one day a year when you can transcend decades like Wanda Maximoff from Marvel's WandaVision. Sure, there are plenty of Halloween costume ideas from the present day (Black Widow, anyone?), but if you are feeling nostalgic or want to step out of your comfort zone, WandaVision is packed with inspiration ranging from the 1950s to the early 2000s, and the beauty looks are surprisingly easy to make at home.
Want to party like it's the '90s? Grab a flannel and a scrunchie, and copy Wanda's grunge look. Feeling groovy like it's 1975? Throw on some peach lipstick, straighten your hair, and look for a psychedelic-printed top. Another obvious choice is Wanda's comic-accurate Scarlet Witch ensemble that she wears as her own Halloween costume, complete with a bold headpiece.
The nine episodes have a range of hair and makeup looks to choose from, so keep scrolling to get ideas for your own DIY WandaVision Halloween costume this year.
WandaVision Halloween Costume: 1950s Wanda Maximoff
Copy Wanda's classic 1950s hair and makeup look by creating pin curls in your hair or, if that's too complicated for your liking, use a wig. There are options on Amazon, like the Aimole Women Short Curly Wig Synthetic Daily Hair Heat Resistant Cosplay Wig ($20) and the Kaneles Short Blonde Curly Wig Finger Wave ($17), and you can make them red using temporary hair dye, like L'Oreal Paris Colorista 1-Day Hair Colour Spray in Coral or Red ($9).
WandaVision Halloween Costume: 1970s Wanda Maximoff
Episode three, "Now in Colour," is full of '70s Halloween costume ideas. Wanda's look with pin-straight hair parted down the middle and soft makeup is easy to replicate at home. Simply style your hair with a straightener, using a hair oil or frizz treatment to ensure the result is super sleek and smooth. For the makeup, keep your complexion radiant but minimal. A neutral peachy-brown lipstick will complement your psychedelic-print top or dress. The beauty of this look is it requires you to buy no additional products for the hair or makeup — you can use things from your stash.
WandaVision Halloween Costume: 2000s Wanda Maximoff
Wanda's own Scarlet Witch Halloween costume from the comic books also makes for an awesome option. To get her loose curls you can use a large barrel curling iron or opt for a wig, like the Ivy Hair Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff Cosplay Wigs ($19). For the headpiece for this costume, try the WandaVision: Wanda's Scarlet Witch Headdress ($35) or the Red Sorceress Crown ($22).
WandaVision Halloween Costume: Wanda Maximoff As Scarlet Witch
Easily the most recognisable look to copy from WandaVision is the Scarlet Witch costume from the last episode. Get her tousled waves with a curling iron or a wig, like the 60cm Long Wavy Wig Scarlet Witch Heat Resistant Synthetic Hair Cosplay Wigs ($33). Etsy has a variety of headbands that look exactly like Wanda's. Try the Wandavision Scarlet Witch Wanda Crown Cosplay Mask ($23) or the Scarlet Witch Crown V2 ($25). To finish off the look, reach for a deep red lipstick that mimics the hue of the headpiece.
