7 Show-Stopping Halloween Party Looks: Taylor Swift's 'The Life Of A Showgirl' Edition

By Zoe Zeng on 03 Oct 2025

Earlier today, Taylor Swift's highly anticipated new album The Life of a Showgirl finally dropped on Spotify. And whether you've already binge-listened to all twelve tracks (this writer may have scarfed it down within just 30 minutes of the album's release!) or are saving it to savour later, chances are that you've seen the album's gorgeous cabaret-themed concept art.

Now I don't know about you, but those satin, sequinned and feather-topped dresses and accessories just scream 'perfect for Halloween' — so we've found some similar ones to steal her style. Here are 7 stunning fashion pieces to help complete your Halloween party looks, inspired by Tay's most glam and glitzy album to date!

1. Red Sequinned Dress

This one's an easy pick if you're looking for something you can rewear at some point (that's not next year's Halloween). Tousle your hair, throw on a pair of elbow-length gloves and those trusty heels — and you've got that 'runaway star' look nailed.

Get it on SHEIN for $54.49.

2. Cabaret Feathered Accessories

What showgirl leaves her dressing room without her hair decorated with tastefully arranged feathers? Turn that 'Wait, what are you dressed as?' to 'I love the 20's showgirl look too!' instantly with a matching set of flapper-esque accessories.

Get it on Light In The Box for $19.62.

3. Silver Rhinestone Dress

Okay, so not all of us are going to be able to rock Taylor's Ophelia-inspired rhinestone ensemble. Plus, if you're going to step outside with this fit on, we reckon you might want a bit more coverage in general, for legal reasons. This backless silver rhinestone dress is a good middle ground between luxe showgirl and safe-to-wear-in-public.

Get it on SHEIN for $23.24.

4. Red Satin Corset Top

Amp up the drama with this statement red corset top, complete with a considerable amount of details for some dramatic flair. Ideal for girls who love an almost vampy style, this IG-worthy fit will hold everything together while you go out and paint the town red with your besties. Complete the look with a blood red lipstick and the biggest hair you can muster up.

Get it on Taobao for $13.20.

5. Padded Sequin V-neck Bustier Top

You know what they say: you can't go wrong in black. This sparkly top is both eye-catching and lowkey enough to not get weird looks in public. It's also super versatile, so you'll get decent wear out of it beyond the spooky season too.

Get it on Love, Bonito for $30.

6. Bejewelled Head Chain

Not a fan of feathers? Why not try accessorising with a bejewelled head chain instead? After all, nothing screams burlesque quite like a sparkling string of gems. These come in a variety of styles and shades, so you can subtly match with your girlfriends. Bonus: to save time, put it on with a couple of hairpins and skip styling the rest of your hair.

Get it on SHEIN for $9.74.

7. Pink Corset Top

Coquette girlies will love this one. A versatile corset top in a sweet pink shade, plus a bit of trim to really jazz it up? Yes, please! Best of all, this piece works with everything from pants to skirts, or even layered over a dress. All that's left to do is add your fave necklace for some bling.
