All the ways you can dress up as a "Midsommar" character for Halloween
If you've seen Ari Aster's "Midsommar," you're probably both scarred for life and wondering how you can dress like the movie characters for Halloween. While the macabre horror image A24 is definitely a terrifying movie, it also contains some of the most vibrant, ornate, and gorgeous Halloween costume inspirations.
In a 2019 interview with Bustle, "Midsommar" costume designer Andrea Flesch explained the origin of the film's wardrobe. "[Director] Ari knew he wanted to have [the Hårga] in white, and also that we had to get as close to Swedish folk costumes as possible," she said. "But from there, I can give my ideas... I found that folklore all over the world had something in common. So I started looking around the world, what are the similarities between folk Swedish and other folk... and I found a lot of them. So the traditions were my idea, to use the folk customs of other countries."
"Midsommar" costumes are full of colorful embroidery and hundreds of flowers, so if you're planning on going big for Halloween, this movie is a great choice. While creating the floral mountain that Dani (Florence Pugh) wears in the horror drama took five people over a month to create, per Vanity Fair, you can create your own version that's a lot less complicated.
