You can embellish yours with a bling kit or wear it plain. Next up, dress like the season's diamond with the best Bridgerton Halloween costumes. Girl group TLC did so much for music—and fashion—during the '90s and early '00s prior to Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes perishing in a tragic car accident. The crazy, sexy, cool way the trio challenged gender stereotypes and embraced a new kind of style turned heads everywhere and makes them a great Halloween option for any threesome.

The movies, the music, the pop culture was amazing back in the day! Recreate this amazing era in time during Halloween this year. There were so many iconic couples on TV, in movies, and on the red carpet during the 2000s, that it can honestly be overwhelming to try and pick which one you want to be. To help narrow down your search, here are some ideas that totally encapsulate what was great about the 2000s, and some tips on how to recreate them.

This look is so gold, Gabrielle Union even brought it back last year for her own costume. Just brace yourself for the dozens of movie quotes you'll hear all night long. No, no, no, I'm not talking about the 2018 version—I'm throwing it all the way back to 2001, when Angelina Jolie played the badass archaeologist and inspired costumes for years to come.

If you don’t have a kid and want to still recreate the look, as you can tell by the picture, it’s 100% possible haha. Courtesy of Universal/Everett Collection/New York Post Gabrielle Union’s breakout role, you can’t go wrong by dressing up as Isis or any of the East Compton Clovers from Bring it On.

With the resurgence of Y2K fashion trends, there's nothing better than to dress up as the epitome of early-aughts nostalgia. Avril Lavigne was the reason why many of us who grew up in the '00s learned how to tie a tie. (Just me? Cool.) Dust off your old striped one and wear it with a plain white tank top, loose cargo pants, and sk8r shoes, and you're basically Avril. Go as one of the Clovers cheerleaders, or get a group together and dress up as the whole squad.
