After reuniting with our favourite characters from Downton Abbey [1] this year, it seems like the perfect time to channel them for Halloween [2]. The notable PBS series ran 2010 to 2015, but thanks to its recent film adaptation [3], our obsession with the Crawley family was reignited anew. Since the show includes so many different characters [4], there are plenty of costume ideas for you and your entire group of friends. (Basically all you really need is a flapper dress, a nice tux, and a cup of hot tea.) (OK, and maybe a haughty disposition, if you're going as Mary.) From Cora to Lady Edith, keep scrolling to see all the ways you can channel the Crawley family this Halloween.
