Ready for round three?

You’ve loved turning your Mentionables lingerie into a sexy costume for Halloween, so we’re back with even more inspiration! After our first round of Halloween lingerie looks and last year’s costume ideas, it’s time to explore more characters to inspire your next Halloween alter ego. 

This time, we’re taking inspo from some seriously iconic characters and giving their signature looks a little Mentionables lingerie twist.

Curious who made the list?

Keep reading for seven sexy costumes for Halloween you (and your partner) will be dying to try. 

Lingerie Look #1: Get Some Penelope Ancient Greece Glam 

Ancient Greece is having a moment this summer, thanks to the blockbuster The Odyssey. So why not bring a little of that epic romance to your Halloween look? Enter Penelope – the ultimate ancient queen, holding down her kingdom, staying true to her beloved, and waiting for her king to finally come home. Now, it’s your turn to bring that regal, fierce energy to your own Halloween night. 

Here’s how to channel Penelope’s elegant, yet commanding style for a sexy costume for Halloween:  

• A flowing satin slip in a rich or neutral shade 
• Gold jewelry
• Simple gold sandals
• Soft waves or a low, loose updo
• A draped shawl for extra Grecian flair

Time to leave the modern world behind. Dim the lights, add a little music, and let the ancient Greek atmosphere take over. 

Try creating your own version of this famous story with these prompts: 

1. The Long-Awaited Return: Your partner has finally made it home after a long journey. Now that you’re reunited, there’s plenty of catching up to do (and maybe a little celebrating, too).
2. The Royal Secret: You may be the queen in public, but behind closed doors, the royal rules are a little more relaxed. Your partner knows exactly how to bring out your mischievous side.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Lean into the romantic side of the look with glowing makeup and a rosy or neutral lip. 

Lingerie Look #2: Go From Mortal to Megara From Hercules

Who didn’t have a soft spot for Megara in Hercules growing up? Between her clever comebacks and take-charge attitude, she was impossible not to love. Now it’s your turn to take on Megara’s effortlessly sultry style – and her zero-interest-in-being-rescued energy. 

Here’s how to capture Megara’s signature style:

• A plum or purple lingerie piece 
• Plum or purple heels
• Gold statement earrings
• Voluminous, tousled hair
• Optional blue or purple accessories

Ready to turn your sexy Halloween costume into a little mythology-inspired adventure? Bring Meg’s smart, independent spirit into the roleplay with witty banter, mysterious motives, and a little reluctant attraction.

Use these roleplay setups to spark a tension neither of you can ignore:

1. The Hero to the Rescue: Your partner swoops in to save the day, but you’re not exactly impressed by their heroics. Play the unimpressed Megara while your “hero” tries to win you over. 
2. A Deal With the Gods: One of you needs a favor, and negotiating the terms gets more interesting than expected.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Keep your makeup sultry but polished with a defined eye and soft lip to capture Megara’s signature look. 

Lingerie Look #3: Bring the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader Energy

We may have already brought you a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader-inspired look, but can you blame us for bringing it back? Some costumes are simply too iconic (and sexy) to retire. For a sexy costume for Halloween that’s full of sparkle and Texas-sized charm, give this classic look a fresh Mentionables lingerie twist with navy lace, rhinestones, and all-American cheerleader style. 

Here’s how to create your Dallas Cowboys cheerleader-inspired look:

• A navy lingerie set 
• White or silver cowboy boots
• A white cowboy hat
• Silver star pasties or earrings
• Bouncy curls and classic cheerleader-inspired makeup

Now, take your cheerleader alter ego off the sidelines and into a little roleplay. Add a sporty setting, a fun playlist, and a partner who’s ready to play along.

Now, choose your game-day storyline: 

1. The Rival Team: You’re cheering for opposite teams, and neither of you is willing to admit the other might have a point. Turn a little friendly competition into a playful challenge to see who can win the night.
2. The Post-Game Interview: Your partner is the sports reporter, and you’re the star cheerleader being interviewed after the big game. What starts as a few innocent questions quickly becomes a lot more fun.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Want to make the look feel extra authentic? Add a little white pom-pom action for your grand entrance. 

Lingerie Look #4: Get a Little Wild With Poison Ivy

If you remember Uma Thurman’s Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin, you know her transformation was hard to forget. One minute she’s the timid, nerdy Dr. Pamela Isley, and the next she’s Poison Ivy – a glamorous, seductive, and seriously dangerous temptress. Bring that iconic 90s transformation to life with a teal lingerie look, plenty of botanical details, and your own take on one of Gotham’s most famous femme fatales. 

Here’s how to bring this sexy costume for Halloween to life and make your partner fall under your spell:

• A teal or green lingerie piece
• Green heels or boots
• Faux ivy vines and accessories
• Green full-length gloves
• Green or emerald makeup accents

Turn your bedroom into Ivy’s secret garden. Turn down the lights, add a little greenery, and let your villainous alter ego come out to play.

Pick a scenario and let the wild side come out: 

1. The Secret Garden: Your partner has stumbled into your hidden garden, and you're deciding whether they're a friend, foe, or something in between.
2. The Botanical Experiment: You're a mysterious scientist with one very interesting experiment – and your partner has volunteered to be your assistant.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Go for bold, glamorous makeup with a defined eye and glossy lips and sleek hair to really embrace Poison Ivy’s 90s femme-fatale aesthetic. 

Lingerie Look #5: Channel Your Inner Daisy Duke

Yeehaw! Step into some Daisy Dukes and get ready to bring the sass. With a little Southern drawl, some country slang, and plenty of cowgirl charm, you can turn this iconic look into a sexy Halloween costume that’s all your own. And the best part? This one can easily double as an outfit you’d actually wear to a Halloween party.

Here’s how to put together your Daisy Duke-inspired look:

• A peach or gingham lingerie piece
• Denim shorts
• Cowboy boots
• Simple hoop earrings
• Loose waves or a high ponytail
• Optional denim shirt worn open or tied at the waist

Kick off your boots and bring a little country flirtation into your roleplay. Blast some country music and let the Southern hospitality begin.

Saddle up for a little roleplay fun with these ideas: 

1. The Country Bar: You’ve just met at a lively country bar, and your partner is trying to work up the nerve to ask you to dance.
2. The Roadside Stop: You’re traveling through the countryside when your car breaks down. Luckily, a charming stranger happens to stop and offer a little help.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Want to really sell the character? Give yourself a Southern nickname (like “sugar”, “sweet pea” or “darlin”) and stay in character for the night. 

Lingerie Look #6: Set Sail With a Pirate-Inspired Look

Ahoy, matey! Picture Elizabeth Swann with a little more lace and a lot more Halloween attitude. Imagine sailing to far-off islands, searching for hidden treasure, and taking on a quest with your partner as your first mate. This season, the adventure is yours to create, complete with a sexy costume for Halloween to boot (pun intended!) 

Here’s what you’ll need to set sail in style for this sexy Halloween costume: 

• Black lacy corset top
• Black lacy side-tie panty
• Black knee-high or thigh-high boots
• Pirate accessories
• Optional white peasant-style shirt under your corset top or a cropped jacket

Got your treasure map? It’s time to settle who’s really in charge of the ship. 

The ship is at your command – choose your adventure:

1. The Captured Captain: You’ve been captured by a rival pirate, but they quickly discover you’re not nearly as easy to intimidate as they expected. Can you convince them to switch sides?
2. The Treasure Hunt: You’ve uncovered a mysterious map leading to a hidden treasure, and your partner is the only person you trust to join you on the quest. Follow the clues and see what you discover along the way.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Turn your treasure map into part of the game by hiding a few little surprises throughout the room for your partner to find. 

Lingerie Look #7: Bend and Snap Into Elle Woods

Because Halloween is the perfect excuse to embrace your inner Elle Woods. After all, Elle knows a thing or two about going all out – even when she’s the only one who got the costume-party memo. Take a cue from her unapologetically glamorous style with a pink-on-pink look that proves a little extra is sometimes exactly the point. 

Here’s how to put together a girly, chic, pink look worthy of our favorite Harvard girl: 

• Magenta satin kimono robe
• Pink heels
• Blonde wig (if you have dark hair)
• Pink sunglasses
• Gold jewelry

Ready to give your Elle Woods persona a storyline? Think charm, wit, and plenty of pink as you step into character. 

Pick your Elle Woods scene and make your case: 

1. The Study Session: You're the top student in the class, and your partner has asked you for some one-on-one tutoring before the big exam.
2. The Case of the Missing Heart: You're a brilliant lawyer taking on your most important case yet: convincing your partner that you're impossible to resist.

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Don’t be afraid to go all in on the pink. The more coordinated your accessories, the more instantly recognizable your Elle Woods-inspired sexy costume for Halloween becomes.
