With Halloween around the corner, we dove into our closets to find quick and easy costumes to please all manner of costume and cosplay enthusiasts!
Our focus today is on the sun goddess, Amaterasu, from The Wicked + The Divine.
Dress | Necklace | Bracelet | Wig | Shoes | Eyes | Lips
Like a pop idol version of the Childlike Empress, the modern day version of the sun goddess Amaterasu from The Wicked + The Divine seems to be all about the bohemian life. But a famous goddess always has expensive tastes, so the theme of this DIY costume is finding the balance.
We took some liberties with Amaterasu’s getup and found a long sleeved lace dress with just enough detail to look both easy and expensive at the same time. If you’re not used to accessories, for this Amaterasu Halloween costume, go gaudy. We chose a large gold statement necklace and paired it with a faux pearl hand chain. For the shoes, our minds wandered from festival staples like gladiator shoes and fringe booties before settling on another great compromise, suede heels with rhinestones for a psuedo expensive touch. Add a curly red wig with heavy bangs from your favorite wig shop, top it with a gold filigree headband, and you have completed your outfit!
The main staple of this costume is the multicolored eye makeup, so we chose Kat Von D’s Mi Vida Loca eyeshadow palette, which has a color wheel to help you achieve this look. Now that your eyes are on point, dab on some Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tar in the shade Radiate and go do just that!

With Halloween around the corner, we dove into our closets to find quick and easy costumes to please all manner of costume and cosplay enthusiasts!
Our focus today is on that gloriously upbeat, magical boy – Steven Universe. Let’s protect humanity from magic, and monsters, and stuff!
Shirt | Pants | Flip-flops | Ukulele
Steven Universe is the perfect mashup of comfortable and magical. We tried to stick to as few stores as possible for Steven Universe, since Beach City probably doesn’t have a ton of shops to choose from on their strip.
Steven’s star tee can be purchased via the Official Cartoon Network shop, or you can go the straight DIY route and put a star applique on a red tee. Craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Michael’s have piles of basic t-shirts and felt squares to chose from, and don’t forget to pick up a fake gem while you’re at it! Our choice for cheap slim jeans in a medium wash is Old Navy, where you can also find Steven’s signature flip flops for under 25$. You’ll even have enough left over for some fry bits!
Taking this costume to the next level? Throw on a cheeseburger backpack with a pocket for every condiment and grab a toy ukulele from a Halloween shop. Or go the extra mile with the real deal and serenade all of Beach City with some sick jams! Not wanting to play solo? Convince a friend to come with you as Connie Maheswaran, jam buds style!
