How to make a angel costume
The angel is soft, bright and easy to wear all night: white clothes, a pair of wings and a halo. It glows in photos and it is warm enough for a cold October night.
What you need
- White feather wings
- A gold halo headband
- An all-white outfit (dress or sweater and jeans)
- White or gold shoes
- Gold shimmer for the cheekbones
- Face gems for around the eyes
How to put it together
- Gold shimmer on the cheekbones and a few gems at the corner of each eye.
- All white on, top to toe.
- Wings on your back, halo on last.
From things you already own
Any all-white outfit and a halo bent from gold tinsel or a pipe cleaner.
No makeup?
The wings and the halo are the costume; no makeup needed at all.
For a group or a couple
Pair an angel with a devil for the classic couple, or a group of angels in white for a choir.

Short of time, or wearing it to work?
This one takes about 14 minutes. If Halloween is tomorrow, the last-minute list is ordered by how long each costume takes. If you are wearing it to the office, the work list is the eight that survive a full day at a desk. Not sure yet? Answer three questions and get one costume with its checklist.
