Channel Nikki from Obsession or transform into footballer Erling Haaland. Feeling nostalgic? Emraan Hashmi’s rugged look from Awarapan 2 is another option, requiring little more than dark clothes, messy hair and a brooding expression. Sometimes, all it takes is a wardrobe raid and a little imagination! Here’s what you can try…

Channel Nikki Freeman from Obsession this Halloween with a red-and-black printed top, black shorts and boots. Smudge your eyeliner, swipe on some red paint and mess up your hair. Add a sinister stare, and you’re ready to haunt everyone’s nightmares.

Recreate Lord Emraan’s brooding Awarapan 2 energy this Halloween with an all-black Pathani suit and a stylish shawl draped over your shoulders. Got long hair? Even better! Add a stubbled look and a melancholic stare for maximum drama.

Embrace the spirit of the King of Pop this Halloween with a plain white T-shirt, black leather jacket and a single white glove. Add black trousers, sunglasses and a few signature moonwalk moves to recreate MJ’s iconic style without breaking a sweat.

Peter Parker from Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Want to channel Tom Holland’s “Juicy” new look as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day this Halloween? Grab a fitted black vest, black shorts and trainers. Mess up your hair, flex those muscles and serve superhero-next-door energy.
