    I don't know about you, but I always leave my Halloween costume to the very last minute. By the time I make it to the shops, all I'm left with is devil ears or a pumpkin hat, neither of which I wish to wear.

    This year, I've decided to think outside the box and turn to my favourite TV shows for inspiration. Turns out, these outfits are a lot easier to recreate than you'd think, and are perfect for any Halloween parties you've got coming up.

    Keep on scrolling for my favourite TV-inspired Halloween costume ideas, and for more inspiration, don't forget to check out our guide on how to create a Halloween costume with clothes that you already own.

    The best Halloween costume ideas 2022, inspired by your favourite TV shows:

    1. Bridgerton

    Who doesn't love a bit of Bridgerton? It is one of my favourite TV shows, and I can't get enough of the costumes. All you need to recreate the look is a floral dress and satin gloves. Oh, and if you have a tiara lying around I highly recommend adding that too.

    One-Shoulder Embroidered Mini Dress, £48 | Chi Chi London

    With Season 3 of Emily in Paris set to be hitting our screens any day now, it only seems right to recreate one of Emily's iconic looks this Halloween. I've been lusting over this red heart dress for a while, so I'll happily take any excuse to wear it out with friends.

    When I think of Gossip Girl, I always think of Blair Waldorf's headband and blazer duo. In fact, both of these trends are set to be huge this autumn, so if you're looking for a trendy Halloween costume, this is the one for you.

    If you've been keeping up with our gallery of the best costumes from Season 2 of And Just Like That, then you'll know all about Carrie's grey boiler suit. Although the iconic JW Anderson pigeon-shaped clutch bag might be hard to recreate, the rest of the outfit is easy.

    6. Squid Game

    Squid Game - halloween costume ideas 2022

    Noh Juhan | Netflix

    Remember Squid Game? The show was Netflix's biggest hit, and it's not hard to see why. If you've watched it, then you know all about the blue tracksuits that the contestants have to wear. I've found a super similar version, but I recommend sticking a number on the front of the top for the full effect.

    Adicolor Classics Firebird Primeblue Track Top, £55 | Adidas
