How To Be The 'Bootylicious' Video For Halloween

by Sienna Fantozzi

I will never forget turning on TRL when I was younger and becoming absolutely mesmerized by the "Bootylicious" music video. Destiny's Child was at the top of their game, the song was infectious, the outfits were ah-mazing, and it was all about the booty. Basically, this video gave meaning to the word "goals." And what's the one night of the year when it's totally appropriate to step out of your house wearing an outfit out of that video? Say it with me, ladies and gents: October 31. So I'm going to help you be the Bootylicious video for Halloween. Are you ready for this jelly?

This video gives you plenty of options for costumes because there are three girls and a few outfit changes, but I'm going to go with the signature yellow look, because it's usually what you think of when you think of the video. And I'm going with Beyonce, because duh. (Really, though, I'm obsessed with Beyonce.) And I'd be in good company on that decision.

Queen Bey covered Beat magazine this month, and they asked her which Destiny's Child video she'd be for Halloween. Her answer? "Survivor era with the army fatigues. Or maybe Bootylicious with the gold tooth and pink tips in my hair," Beyonce said.

Below you'll find everything you need to recreate the iconic music video.
