Halloween Costume? Use your Basic Instincts

If you plan on dressing up this Halloween and you want to embody something other than a black cat or nurse - think about reaching into your own closet and go as one of the most unforgettable and edgy villains of film - who also is famous for going commando. This Halloween might suggest embodying the femme fatale Catherine Tramell. At some point we all want to be Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct just based on her wardrobe.  She’s a true fashion icon who embodies sensuality, confidence, and an edgy sophistication that remains (ahem..)  killer to this day.. If you're looking to channel her iconic look for Halloween, here’s how to do it right. First, get an ice pick. 

The centerpiece of Catherine's style is the unforgettable white dress from the infamous interrogation scene. To replicate this look:

• Dress: Twiggy in ivory 
• Accessories: Keep it minimal. A pair of bold earrings or a statement bracelet can elevate the outfit without overpowering it. Consider a choker for that added touch of edge. Throw our Ivory Katharine over your shoulders for good measure.
  

Another iconic look is her sharp, tailored suits, often paired with a silk blouse. This is perfect for those who prefer a more androgynous approach.

• Suit: Opt for a well-fitted navy Katharine blazer and tailored trousers. 
• Blouse: A silk or satin blouse in a jewel tone can add a pop of color. Choose a style with a deep neckline to capture that seductive vibe.
• Footwear: Pair the suit with classic pointed-toe pumps, preferably in black or a coordinating color.
  

To truly embody Catherine for Halloween, consider some fun props that nod to her character like a vintage cigarette holder or a book with a provocative title. Fasten your hair back in a sleek bun. Underwear optional.
