Next year we can make scary and horror films because right now it's all about nostalgia for the 2000s.

We have already taken care of you Latino And Latina Superhero ideas, but for music lovers, we're here to take your love of vinyl to the next level. This goes out to the music heads who have tickets to the hottest concerts Tours and I already know that Setlists by rote. We're talking music lovers who will grab the aux cord and blast the perfect music video playlist to soundtrack your gatherings. Does that sound like you?

We have seen a lot over the years People dressed as Shakira with her purple wig, skirt and tie outfit reminiscent of her “Las de la Intuición” music video and we love seeing her too Stripped-Costumes for albums and music videos paying homage to one of Christina Aguilera's most iconic (and daring) eras. But there are far more fun costumes along these lines that you can DIY and put together to show your love for Halloween and Latin and Spanish pop stars – and we're here to help you with ideas to spark that creativity.

From Mexican alternative rock singer Julieta Venegas' iconic wedding dress outfit to Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias' casual look, here are seven unique looks to help you dress up as your favorite moment from 2000s music videos.

Julieta Venegas – “Andar Conmigo”

One of my favorite records and album covers is Venegas' third album Si. This LP contains hits such as “Andar Conmigo”, “Lento” and “Algo Esta Cambiando”. On the album cover, Venegas is wearing a wedding dress. Lead single “Andar Comigo” follows the same theme and features the Mexican-American alternative pop rocker dressed as if she's making a pit stop at a bar saloon before making her way to a wedding chapel does, and all while singing the song that remains one of the most popular Mexican songs today. You can imitate Venegas' “Andar Conmigo” style by wearing a simple wedding dress, wearing white gloves, a bridal veil and long earrings. Make it more iconic by shooting a portrait with a pink background Album cover redesign.

Calle 13 – “Atrevete-Te-Te”

Resident of the Puerto Rican alternative hip hop group Calle 13 is known for his muscle shirt and jeans look. If you google his name, he'll most likely come up in a muscle shirt. This is the case in the music video for “Atrévete-Te-Te”, where he wears a gray muscle shirt and jeans, paired with a pearl necklace, reflecting his signature bad boy look. Looking for a quick, maybe last-minute Halloween costume? With a muscle shirt and a pearl necklace, you can recreate this “Atrévete-Te-Te” outfit and rap the lyrics to your friends on Halloween. Take it to the next level by making it a couples costume where your partner is dressed as an all-white dancer in the music video.

Paulina Rubio – “Ni Una Sola Palabra”

Mexican pop star Paulina Rubio left her mark with her golden superhero look in her music video “Ni Una Sola Palabra.” You can recreate her epic look with a gold cape, boots, gold romper, belt, and superhero cuffs. Take it a step further and wear a long, curly blonde wig if your hair doesn't match her typical luscious curls. What about women empowerment? Wonder Woman aside, “La Chica Dorada” is here to kick ass – and look good doing it. “Ni Una Sola Palabra” is part of Rubio’s album Anandapublished in 2006.

Wisin y Yandel – “Me Estás Tentando”

For those looking for couple or duo costumes, we've come to the right place. Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel is known not only for their popular tracks like “Noche de Sexo,” “Rakata,” and “Me Estás Tentando,” but also for their cargo look to match. An idea for a duo costume can be to dress up like the boys by wearing their signature sunglasses combined with a black sleeveless leather jacket (Wisin) and a jacket with sleeves (Yandel). Refine the look with thick necklaces and fake (or real) tattoo sleeves that mirror the duo's accessories. Make it more memorable by singing one of their hits on Halloween. We recommend dressing up like her and doing karaoke to her 2008 hit “Me Estás Tentando.”

Nina Sky – “Move Ya Body (feat. Jabba)”

“Can you feel the beat?” The Puerto Rican duo and twins Nicole and Natalie Albino knew what they were doing with their classic reggaeton hit “Move your body.” The music video, released in 2004, features the twins in colorful outfits and striped prints. You can recreate the look this Halloween by wearing thick, colorful hoop earrings, brightly colored sleeveless shirts with a white undershirt, and a colorful short skirt. You can even throw on a trucker cap to accentuate the mid-acts vibe. What makes her outfits synonymous with this era are the thick neon hoops and white undershirts, which for some reason were popular accessories in this nightclub era.

Belanova – “One, two, three, GO!”

Let's be honest: Belanova's singer Denisse Guerrero always creates iconic looks on and off stage. And now that the band is back in action, why not celebrate their music by dressing up like the frontwoman? One of Guerrero's most memorable looks comes from the “One, Two, Three, Go!” music video, in which she is dressed as a cheerleader. Recreate the look by wearing a red star choker, a red dress, a light blue belt, and thigh-high yellow boots. The icing on the cake? Pompoms and a high ponytail. And there you have it, a Guerrero-inspired Halloween outfit for the fans who want to go beyond “Pink Pastel.”

Enrique Iglesias – “Hero”

The Spanish singer has always had a distinctive casual look. For example, he is known to wear his signature cap or cap, and in the early 2000s he also had a birthmark on his face. Some media even called his mole one “face brand” But unfortunately he decided to take it off because it could have led to cancer. His iconic wardrobe style remains, which often includes a hat or cap paired with a simple t-shirt or v-neck. This makes for an easy DIY Halloween look – and if you want to go all out, you can include his signature mole too.
