Hulu's Only Murders in the Building [1] has quickly become one of the biggest shows of 2021, and it's about to become one of the biggest Halloween costumes of the year [2]. With a star-studded cast featuring Selena Gomez [3], Martin Short, and Steve Martin [4], the show has plenty of characters to draw inspiration from. You can channel the true-crime trio for a fun group costume with friends, or you can do a solo costume as you dress up as Gomez's Mabel Mora. Honestly, we'll take any excuse to buy the character's incredibly fashionable wardrobe [5]. See more Halloween [6] costume ideas for the show ahead.

- What to wear: Selena Gomez [7] has some fashionable outfits throughout the show, but her most iconic is the one she wears in episode one.

Don't forget to accessorise with sunglasses, a yellow beanie hat, and red headphones.
