“Sk8r Boi” and “Complicated” are 20 years old?! Yeah, that made us feel old too. Whether it’s Avril Lavigne’s anniversary of hitting the TRL charts—or her meteoric rise on TikTok—I was surprised to learn from my colleagues at PureWow that Avril Lavigne costume ideas are one of the top searches this Halloween.
For some, you can raid your closet for Hot Topic finds from the early aughts. If you weren’t an angsty tween or teen then—or you KonMari‘ed all those studded belts and loose ties—no worries. There’s a simple formula to rocking Avril Lavigne’s look.
The Ultimate Avril Lavigne-Inspired Costume (Celebrating Her Let Go Era):
- Stick-straight hair (try this straightening iron, $30 at Amazon)
- Heavy eyeliner (we like this smudgy Covergirl one)
- White tank top, $17 at Amazon
- Loose tie, $12 at Amazon
- Striped arm warmers, $10 at Amazon
- Three-piece studded bracelet set, $14 at Amazon
- Black cargo pants, $13 at Amazon
- Studded belt, $14 at Amazon
- Converse sneakers, $66+ at Amazon (or $20 for a similar style)
