Selena Quintanilla
You and all your friends (or hermanas) can dress up like different versions of the late and great Selena Quintanilla Perez. I want to do this with my band of sisters, but only if I get to wear the purple jumpsuit!
Frida Kahlo
Iconic Mexican painter Frida Kahlo had a unique style all her own, which makes her the perfect Halloween muse for fashionistas and art buffs alike.
La Calavera Catrina
This costume is so nice, you'll want to wear it twice. I guess it's a good thing el Dia de los Muertos is the day after Halloween then. You'll get to wear this awesome costume two days in a row.
Santana Lopez
Okay, so Glee isn't no longer on the air, but that doesn't mean you can't pay homage to Naya's iconic character on Halloween. If you wan't to be especially funny, you can bring Santana Lopez back from the "dead," and pair this costume with some zombie-inspired makeup.
Jennifer Lopez
Got a nice booty and you don't mind showing it off? Then I double-dog dare you to dress up like the Queen of the Leotards, Jennifer Lopez, this Halloween.
Carnival dancer
I'm not brave enough to rock this Brazilian samba dancer costume, but I admire anyone who is. Get it, girls.
Traditional Colombiana
Who said all Latina-inspired costumes had to show a ton of skin? This traditional Colombiana costume is beautiful and modest, making it the perfect outfit to wear while trick or treating with the kiddies. Represent!
La Chilindrina
Channel your inner child this Halloween, and dress up like the always intelligent and mischievous Chilindrina! It doesn't get more classic than this.
Matador
You got a killer bod and killer 'tude, so why not wear a killer costume to match?
Mariachi
All you really need here are a few giant sombreros and a couple of good friends, and voilá! You guys are officially the Three Amigas!
