With Halloween rapidly descending upon us, it's time to get your costume sh*t together, folks. If you're one of those people that knows you're going to be pressured into dressing up but don't want to have to put the effort and money into becoming something non-human, then I have the perfect solution for you. In fact, I have six perfect solutions for you. These DIY Meghan Markle and Prince Harry costume ideas will make you feel royal AF on Halloween and you don't have to work with any glue guns, sequins, or plastic wrap. Win-win!

To begin, channel your favorite version of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. For me, it's when they're hanging out with the Queen and have to rock those pained/beautiful smiles that say, "I am a professional but also know this is a lot of smoke and mirrors." However, it's hard to replicate, so I'll probably go with "Casual Meghan and Harry" from the list below. That said, there are a lot of options to choose from ranging from their wedding looks to their day-to-day attire. Peruse the choices I've carefully curated for you below, then commit to your budget and go for it, baby!

Engagement Announcement Photoshoot

With the exception of the actual royal wedding, this photoshoot is perhaps Meghan and Harry's most famous. Meghan stepped out in her now-iconic white trench coat, a conservatively cut black dress, and nude pumps while holding hands with her new groom-to-be. Oh yeah, she was also rocking her new bling.

Prince Harry sported a navy blue suit with a sensible thin, black tie. Together, they both managed to shine and compliment one another. To get the same look, you can swipe some of these apparel items below!

It was the wedding dress seen around the world. The speculation surrounding what Meghan was going to wear on the big day was so intense. She surprised everyone when she picked a simplistic silhouette with a boatneck top. Prince Harry opted for a frock-coat uniform of the Blues and Royals.

Casual Meghan & Harry

Arguably the rarest and most exciting version of Harry and Meghan to see out in the wild — their casual attire still trumps my business casual. Meghan's "day clothing" is impeccably tailored and I can only assume Prince Harry's boxer briefs feel like clouds underneath these sensible trousers.
