2016 is arguably the year of Black Girl Magic and it would only make sense to show that off on the most magical night of the year: Halloween. We know the holiday is typically all about goons, goblins, and other scary things but it’s also a time for dressing up like celebs and other women we admire, and we can’t think of anyone better than the ladies on this list. Here are 11 Black girl costumes that would be epic this Halloween.

Teyanna Taylor in “Fade”

Okay so maybe you wear booty shorts instead of a thong, but if you have the abs to pull this look off, by all means pull out that bralette, wet your hair, and grease your body down to recreate one of the biggest music video moments of the year.

Rihanna in “Work”

You know you have a pair of gladiator sandals and a mesh dress just dying to be tie-dyed. Throw on a green lip and you’re at the promise land.
