Grab a jumpsuit, a black and white striped top and your best “pencil” wig, because the best Halloween costumes this year come straight out of Fleabag.

Journalist James Besanvalle had us howling when his version of Claire’s “hair is everything!” pencil-bob went viral on Twitter last week and since then, the creative costumes keep rolling in. Think hot priest, G&T in a can and a stuffed guinea pig.

Some have even made it a family affair – editor and author of My Not So Functional Family, Bridie Jabour (pictured above), dressed her son up as a fox to complete the look, while her partner went as the hot priest.

The possibilities really are endless. Here are just a few of our favourite Fleabag costumes and decorations shared on Twitter so far.

(Someone, please, dress up as Godmother).

“I have a horrible feeling that I’m a greedy, perverted, selfish, apathetic, cynical, depraved, morally bankrupt woman who can’t even call herself a feminist.” ... Happy Halloween from Fleabag and Hot Priest 🔥😉 pic.twitter.com/TQ9k2e7GCm
