2025: Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Clueless

As if! Can you believe it’s been 30 years since Clueless hit theaters and made plaid skirts, knee-high socks, and cell phones the ultimate accessories? To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this totally iconic ‘90s classic, we decided to go full-on throwback and channel our inner Cher, Dionne, and Tai for Halloween this year.

From the Beverly Hills hallways to the Halloween party scene, these three besties gave us friendship goals, unforgettable fashion, and phrases that defined a decade. (“Whatever.” “Ugh, I’m totally buggin’!”) So grab your fuzzy pens and crank up some TLC, because we’re about to show you how to recreate these way popular looks that are equal parts nostalgic and fabulous.

Cher Horowitz

The queen bee of Beverly Hills High, Cher is all about confidence, coordination, and couture. With her perfectly matched plaid sets, knee-high socks, and that enviable rotating closet, she defined ‘90s fashion goals before social media was even a thing. Channeling Cher means embracing her big heart, her bossy-but-sweet energy, and her belief that a little kindness (and a lot of style) can fix almost anything. Totally fabulous, right?

Dionne Davenport

Dionne is the ultimate trendsetter and Cher’s equally stylish bestie. With her bold prints,  dramatic hats, and unapologetic attitude, Dionne proves that confidence is the best accessory. She’s smart, sassy, and never afraid to speak her mind because being fashionable doesn’t mean you can’t also be fierce. Dressing as Dionne is all about daring to stand out and owning every inch of your look. Whatever!

Tai Frasier

Sweet, spunky Tai may have started as the new girl, but she quickly became one of the crew and one of the most memorable characters of the ‘90s. With her playful personality and carefree vibe, Tai reminds us that true confidence comes from being yourself (even if you’re a little “clueless” at first). Whether you go full makeover mode in plaid or keep her early skater-girl style, Tai’s charm never goes out of fashion. She’s totally adorable, don’t you think?

Clueless Group Costume

When it comes to best friends, Cher, Dionne, and Tai are the ultimate trio. They taught us about friendship, makeovers, and the power of good advice (even when it’s not asked for). Together, they’re a perfect Halloween costume idea for sisters or besties who want to turn heads, have fun, and relive all the plaid-clad, ‘90s nostalgia. Because 30 years later, one thing’s still true: these girls are way popular.

Happy Halloween from the Harris Sisters!

Three’s a Charm: Creative Trio Halloween Costumes for You and the Girls

Ready to turn heads this Halloween? Whether you’re dressing up with your best friends, teaming up with your sisters, or planning the ultimate group costume, The Harris Sisters have rounded up our best trio Halloween ideas just for you. With these picture-perfect outfits, we've got an era for everybody. And these creative costumes will have you and your girls stealing the spotlight all spooky season long.

Circus / Life of a Showgirl 

The Harris Sisters were in our showgirl era way back in 2020 and with so many circus characters to choose from, it's an easy one for a group of three. You can find extra details about our costumes here: Circus Themed Family Photoshoot.

Disney Villains

Why should princesses get all the love? There are just as many Disney Villains to choose from, and in keeping with the spooky them of the season, they're the perfect choice for a group of three. For more details on our Maleficent, Ursula, and Cruella DeVil costumes, take a peek here Disney Villains Group Halloween Costume.

Flower Garden

It does not get more simple than this when it comes to costumes: a giant flower fascinator and a green outfit. BOOM! You and your sisters are a flower garden. These flower fascinators were hand-crafted and hand-painted by the super-talented Harris Sister Misty, but you can find similar flower hats and flower fascinators online.

River Sirens / Woodland Fairies

When we wore these costumes, we were inspired by the River Sirens from the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? But you can use the same ethereal look to create a trio of Woodland Fairies (just add wings!) More information on the costumes here River Sirens Photoshoot.

Barbies

What's better than one great Barbie costume? Three! There are so many iconic Barbie looks that this is a fun choice for a group of friends. Since the Barbie movie was released in 2023, there are a variety of Barbie costumes to choose from. We're shown here as vintage Barbie Learns to Cook, Original Barbie, and Great Shape Barbie.

Sanderson Sisters

Nothing says Halloween more than the cult classic 1990s Halloween movie Hocus Pocus. When dressing up as everyone's favorite sisters, your hardest decision will be who is Winifred, who is Mary, and who is Sarah. Once you get that sorted, the Sanderson Sisters costumes are easy to recognize this time of year and will be perfect for a group of three friends,

Classic 1980s

You and your homegirls can like totally recreate these 1980s costumes. Just make sure to get all of your slang ready to get into character in time for Halloween (for sure, excellent, bodacious, radical). Take a peek here for all the details Takin' It Back to the Old School.

Clue Characters

Three or six friends can use this idea for the perfect group Halloween costume. Pick your favorite characters from this classic board game and go wild! Here we're dressed as Miss Scarlett, Mrs. Peacock, and Mrs. White, but check out photos of us as Colonel Mustard, Mr. Green, and Professor Plum and all the costume details here Clue Halloween Group Halloween Costume.

Pirates

Arrgh, mateys! Pirate costumes are a popular choice for group costumes, but I'll let you in on a secret: they're also usually pretty easy to throw together last-minute. Why? Staples in the costumes include many pieces you may already own: ruffled blouse, long jacket or coat (think velvet, brocade, or leather), multiple scarves and belts, hoop earrings, dark pants or skirt, and tall boots. Pro tip: Dollar stores often sell pirate eye patches near Halloween, and tri-corn hats are often sold at party stores. Raid your kids toys for "weaponry." Layer, layer, layer! 

Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz / Wicked

When deciding on your group Halloween costume, don't be afraid to think outside of the box. In 2021, rather than dressing as three separate characters from The Wizard of Oz, we chose to all do a different take on the Dorothy costume. Pop over to this post for more details on the individual costumes Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz: Group Halloween Costume.

Storybook Characters

If you're a little more traditional, then we've got the perfect trio costume for you and the girls. These storybook characters are easy to recognize, just Over the Rainbow and Through the Looking Glass, to Grandmother's House We Go! and you'll find Dorothy (again), Alice, and Red Riding Hood. 

Flappers / Roaring 20's

You and your sisters will be the bee's knees in this iconic look and it's so easy to recreate. Just pair your flapper dress with accessories like pearl necklaces, headbands, and gloves. Make sure to put on your best dancing shoes because you'll be doing the Charleston all night!

Regency / Brigerton / Victorian Era

Make sure to read all our tips on Shopping Your Local Theater Company Sales. You might be surprised what you could score for your group Regency Halloween costumes. Or check online for Brigerton costumes and Victorian costumes. And don't forget to accessorize with items like tiaras, fascinators, lace gloves, brooches, and pearls.

Mechanics

For mechanic group costume look, we snagged three matching speed suits and added customized name patches to make them seem "official." To complete the costumes, we added red accessories we already owned.

Who says three’s a crowd? This Halloween, three is officially a vibe! Squad goals take on a whole new meaning when Halloween rolls around. If you and your friends (or sisters!) are looking for the best group costumes to rock this spooky season, we hope this list will do the trick. 

Get ready to make your trio the star of the night and pin these ideas for later.

How to Make Your Very Own Barbie Meme

The Harris Sisters are always trying to stay on top of the latest trends… did you know the Barbie Selfie Generator is the latest thing to waste time?

It's easy to do! 

1. Visit Barbie Selfie Generator
2. Upload your own photo (or take a selfie using the software). (The Barbie Selfie Generator will automatically crop out the background for you and place your photo on the Barbie Movie Poster!) 
3. Reposition the photo around the Barbie logo if needed. Change the tagline text and change the background color, if desired.

Download your Barbie selfie to share with friends or on social media. And don't worry guys, they've got you covered - You can also make a Ken if you'd like!

Take a look at these Harris Sisters examples. In the group photo, I added a description that fit The Harris Sisters specifically "This Barbie is going hunting for vintage."

"But what if I can't think of any text to add?" The Barbie meme generator will autofill text that might work with your photo, and you can either use that text or change it to something that you'd rather use. So easy!

Pro Tip: Close up shots work better for this Barbie Selfie Generator. For example, The Harris Sisters had this Barbie group photo all queued up and ready to use and it didn't work quite right for this purpose.

So, we were able to crop out individual shots and use those to create the ones shown above. To make your Barbie meme, you can use existing photos (like we did) or take a selfie using the Barbie Selfie website. 

Hope this inspires you to make your own Barbie selfie! You, too, can be a Barbie girl in a Barbie world!

Clue Characters Group Halloween Costume

This year for Halloween, The Harris Sisters are paying homage to one of our favorite board games growing up: Clue. The characters from this game present the perfect opportunity for a group Halloween costume. With six different characters from the board game, we each decided to dress up as two characters to represent the full set. But if you have a larger group, you can divvy up the characters among yourselves.

Can you spot who's who in our sneaky group?

Clue Character Group Halloween Costumes

First off, we have Harris Sister Deanna as Colonel Mustard in the Lounge with the rope. This costume was easy to create with pieces from your closet or Goodwill. It includes a yellow top and pants, a military-style jacket, and tall boots. Top it off with a costume pith helmet and you're all set!

"While rope might not be most people's first choice for defense, with my military and tactical training, I know at least 12 different ways to turn this everyday item into a highly effective weapon."

Next up we have Harris Sister Misty as Mr. Green in the Hall with the lead pipe. The main pieces of this costume are a green vest, cape, and a cravat or an ascot (scarf). Pair those pieces with a pair of black pants and a white button down shirt and you have the main pieces of your costume.

"If need be, I can conceal this pipe in my cape . . . "

Of course, Harris Sister Donna is Professor Plum in the Library with the knife. The main parts of this costume were a 1940's style purple dress and matching purple heels. 

"Choosing a book, or choosing a weapon? Hmmmm . . . . decisions, decisions . . . "

Then there's Harris Sister Deanna as Miss Scarlett in the Ballroom with the candlestick. Of course, no Miss Scarlett costume would be complete without a red evening gown, red gloves, and fascinator. Top off the look with a red wig, and your character is complete. 

"Don't you think the gold candlestick matches my outfit perfectly? Shhh . . . I'll never tell!"

And there's Harris Sister Donna as Mrs. White in the Kitchen with the wrench. Mrs. White's costume is a black vintage style dress with a white maid's apron over top. Complete the look with a black wig and a maid's hairband. 

"Seems like someone already made off with the knife, so this wrench will do nicely!"

And finally, Harris Sister Misty was Mrs. Peacock in the Conservatory with the revolver. Transform yourself into Mrs. Peacock with a bright blue 1940's style dress, a jeweled belt, black gloves, a peacock scarf, and costume jewelry.

"A gal's gotta protect herself."

Clue Themed Halloween Party Decor and Props

If you're throwing a Halloween party and asking guests to dress as the Clue board game characters, make sure to have props for guests to take photos with. Some good options for photo props include vintage Clue board game pieces, "weapons" from the game, martini glasses filled with dice, or life-sized dice. Harris Sister Misty had her husband construct two large cubes from plywood and then painted them white. We then added black felt dots to make them look like a giant pair of dice.

Make sure to check out our costume section of the blog for more tips, tricks, and ideas for this Halloween!

Happy Halloween from The Harris Sisters!

Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz: Group Halloween Costume

This year for Halloween, The Harris Sisters are paying tribute to Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. If you remember this year's Girls' Weekend trip to Boone, NC, we visited The Land of Oz and posted a detailed write-up of our visit to the abandoned theme park. If you were paying close attention to that post, you might have noticed at that time that we didn't post a single photo of ourselves while we were there. Well, that's because we were saving those photos for our super-big, Halloween costume extravaganza! (Hey, when you've got a chance to see some of THE most recognizable witches out there - you've got to save that for Halloween, right?!?)

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

One of the most memorable images from The Wizard of Oz is the iconic Yellow Brick Road. Of course, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take photos in our Dorothy costumes while skipping down this path! Did you know that the way they skipped down the Yellow Brick Road in the movie is an actual dance called the Wizard Step or the Dorothy Step? You can learn how to do the Wizard Step with this YouTube tutorial!

The Devil's in the Details

Any Dorothy costume is going to have three major components: a blue dress, red shoes, and hair crafted into pigtails, but we chose to put our own spin on these costumes.

• Shop your closet for a the main pieces of the costume. You may already have a blue dress or red shoes that might fit the bill. Notice the variety in the dresses and shoes that we are wearing. From flats to heels to glitter Converse, we found that a pair of red shoes from your closet instantly transforms into ruby slippers when worn with a blue dress and pigtails!
• If you really want to stand out in a crowd of Dorothys, don't forget to accessorize:
• Deanna is wearing a poppy pin on her lapel as a nod to the famous poppy scene in the movie.
• Donna is wearing rainbow sunglasses to represent "somewhere over the rainbow."
• Deanna is wearing ruby earrings, and Donna is wearing emerald earrings.
• All three of us are wearing a piece of Mama's jewelry, since her name was Dorothy. In fact, we left you a clue about our costumes on Facebook and Instagram before the big reveal today, and that was also a piece of jewelry with Mama's handwriting engraved on it! If you look closely at that photograph, you can also see the Yellow Brick Road in the background of that photo.

Here's a closer look at our costumes:

Where Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops

There were lots of fun photo ops in The Land of Oz and we took advantage. Here Deanna poses in Munchkinland, Donna poses with an apple from The Angry Apple Tree, and Misty has fallen asleep among the poppies.

 

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

The Harris Sisters definitely had lots of fun recreating the look of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Over the years, we've dressed up as bad witches for Halloween (The Sanderson Sisters and Disney Villains), so it was high time that we had the opportunity to dress up as Good Witches (as our good friend Glinda would say).

If you're looking for group costume ideas about a more traditional Dorothy Halloween costume styled with Alice in Wonderland and Red Riding Hood, check out one of our very first fairy tale photo shoots: Over the Rainbow and Through the Looking Glass to Grandmother's House We Go.

Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz Group Halloween Costumes

Don't forget that sometimes when you're creating group Halloween costumes it can be fun to all dress as different variations of the same person. We've done this several times:

• Star Wars Halloween Costumes (two Han Solos - Han Duo)
• Marilyn Monroe Halloween Costumes (three Marilyn Monroes - which we turned into an Andy Warhol triptych)
• Clark Kent/Superman Christmas Card Idea (four Supermans)
• Elvis Halloween Costumes (three Elvises plus two Elvis pups)

Happy Halloween from The Harris Sisters!
