As the classic movie Mean Girls [1] taught us, you can pretty much make anything "sexy" for a Halloween costume [2]. But a sexy Bob Ross costume? That's not a combination of words that anyone ever expected to hear. And yet, here we are. The Happy Tree Painter Costume [3] ($70) puts a sexy twist on the famously mellow painter, who's become something of an icon over the years (personally, we loved Maude Apatow's take on him in Euphoria [4]). Bob Ross costumes probably aren't a new thing, since his look was pretty memorable and distinctive, but this "sexy" variant is a whole new kind of creative [5].
The costume itself consists mainly of a fitted blue romper with a low neckline and fake paint stains, along with stretchy denim booty shorts with an adjustable belt. For accessories, there's a paint palette, a wig to imitate Ross's signature hairdo, and, of course, a plush squirrel. Sadly, happy trees are not included. While there are plenty of pop culture costumes [6] sure to appear this Halloween [7], and plenty of sexy costumes [8], too, this particular combination is so unexpected and hilariously playful that you're sure to be a standout at any Halloween party [9]!
