The next best thing to being real-life friends with the Fab Five from Queer Eye is pretending to be them for a night. There's no better time than Halloween to channel one of the year's most-loved groups of friends and to put forth your best compliment-giving self — is there actually a more uplifting group costume? Whether you're more of a fashionable Tan or a beauty-guru Jonathan, surely you relate to at least one member of the iconic crew, which rapidly gained popularity after the show's reboot premiered on Netflix in February. Ahead, see everything you need to channel Jonathan, Tan, Antoni, Karamo, and Bobby this Halloween — fierceness and hilarity not included, honey.
Jonathan
Jonathan knows there are few things that a great moisturiser and high-quality conditioner can't fix. To be him for a night, wear your freshly straightened, sleek hair in a half-up bun, and carry a green colour-correcting primer with you all night. You can teach people the wonders of reducing redness by offering to dab a little on their faces and saying, "Yas, honey! A moisturised moment! She's fierce!"
Tan
If you're the fashion guru of the group, channel your inner Tan France and pretend to be everyone's personal stylist for the night. Dress in your finest short-sleeved button-down, and don't you dare forget the French tuck!
Bonus points if you can re-create Tan's gravity-defying hair. He blow-dries it with a brush and uses a pomade to help it stay put all day.
Karamo
Karamo wears a lot of hats (both literally and figuratively) and a lot of camo, so channel his laid-back yet chic style by wearing a camo bomber jacket and an LA Dodgers hat. Don't be afraid to spark thought-provoking conversations and lend a helping hand to your friends throughout the night — Karamo's specialty.
Antoni
Oh, sweet baby Antoni, master of the kitchen and of our hearts. If you're the savviest foodie of the group, Antonti is your obvious costume choice. Wear a t-shirt with a loosely tied bandana around your neck, and carry a pair of tongs.
If you're hosting or attending a Halloween party, go the extra mile and make guacamole the Antoni way from season one, episode one — with Greek yoghurt. Offer simple cooking tips throughout the night, and don't let the haters tell you Antoni can't cook (he's opening a fast-casual restaurant and writing a cookbook, after all).
Bobby
Bobby is the sleeper hero of the Fab Five. While the other guys are working their magic, he's hard at work painting, sawing, and feng shui-ing the sh*t out of these people's homes, but the camera doesn't show most of his work.
Obsessed with Bobby? Dress like him in a pair of fitted shorts and a tailored blazer, and walk around with something that indicates you're the home-improvement expert, like a paintbrush or a tool belt.
