There’s no better excuse to dress to kill than a masquerade murder mystery halloween costume party. Whether you’re solving clues or secretly hiding the murder weapon, your outfit can make you the talk of the ballroom—or the prime suspect.
Classic Masquerade Glam
A masquerade mask is more than just a fashion statement—it’s your alibi. Pair a feathered or lace mask with a sleek gown or tux, toss in a cape, and you’ve got the perfect blend of mystery and menace. Bonus points if your outfit hides a clue or a secret note tucked into your pocket.
If you’re heading to a halloween murder mystery dinner with The Murder Mystery Co., this look never fails.
The Gothic Guest
Go full drama with black lace, velvet, and a hint of red (for “blood,” of course). Add gloves, a dark choker, and maybe a mysterious stain on your sleeve. Suddenly, everyone’s whispering: what exactly did they do in the library?
Perfect for a candlelit halloween masquerade party or a night of secrets in an old mansion.
The Detective
For those who prefer solving crimes to committing them, a trench coat, fedora, and a notepad will do the trick. Add a half-mask for flair and start interrogating your friends. Think 1940s noir—but with a cocktail in hand.

The Fortune Teller
A shimmering shawl, flowing skirt, and a deck of tarot cards instantly give you main-character energy. Throw on some gold jewelry and a sparkly mask and start making “predictions.” (Pro tip: predicting the killer earns you serious bragging rights.)
Fallen Angel Vibes
Because every mystery needs a little sin. Go for black wings, smoky eyes, and silver accents. You’ll look heavenly—and suspiciously good doing it.
