Archetype-driven costumes for the darkly inclined

Halloween is the dark high holiday of transformation–the one night of the year where shadows are celebrated in couture, masks turn into mirrors and fantasy takes its rightful place at the center of the stage.

For TLL readers, it’s more than costumes and candy; it’s an invitation to embody archetype and allure, to cloak yourself in mystery and emerge as something, or someone, entirely other, for the evening.

This season, we’ve curated inspiration through the lens of gothic archetype, offering each Ledger identity a costume that feels both timeless and timely. Whether you lean toward tragic glamour, decadent mischief or spectral romance, these looks invite you to step into the night not just dressed up, but transformed, honouring the spirit of Halloween while embodying a new identity aligned with your authentic self.
