Literally every day is Halloween for Katy Perry.
Whether she's shooting whipped cream out of her breasts, dancing with sharks or actually celebrating the spooky holiday, the 30-year-old songstress has pretty much made an entire career out of playing dress-up.
So who better to take inspiration from on Oct. 31 than the bubbly, cotton candy-loving California girl? Just take a look at some of her best costumes below.

You don't have to go as extravagant as Katy did with a ball gown, but all you need to do to be a walking piece of graffiti is cover your clothes in spray paint. Voila!

This one is not for the faint of heart. Go wild with blue and purple face paint, put on your most ethereal outfit (a sheet works, too) and add some creepy contacts. You'll be hypnotizing, but don't infect the partiers with your poison.

Cut out some paint splatter shapes and stick them all over yourself, or channel your inner Jackson Pollock and actually splatter and drip paint onto your outfit.

This can be interpreted as literal fire, or as the flame emoji. Either way, it's great. But whatever you do, do not actually set your self on fire (stay away from candlelit jack-o'-lanterns!).

What better way to pay tribute to your favorite snack than by dressing as it for Halloween? Katy won with this costume, and you can too.

Got some old jeans/jean jackets lying around? Then this costume is perfect for you. Sewing skills are required, but the result is so worth it.

You can go the high fashion route and wear this Moschino jumper as your costume (but only if you already own it, since its sold out), or you can get crafty with a red T-shirt and some fabric paint. Ba da ba ba baaa ...

All you need is a floor-length dress in a deep tone, like burgundy or eggplant purple, and a cape (which could also just be a repurposed bed sheet). Finish it off with some dark lipstick and eyeliner, and you've got yourself a Halloween costume.

Grab yourself some real or fake leaves, fashion them into some sort of skirt, wrap some leopard-print fabric around your chest and make sure partygoers and trick-or-treaters can hear you roar.

Halloween just wouldn't be the same without at least one angel costume. Wings are pretty much sold at every single costume and department store during the season. If you feel creative, you could always just buy a bunch of feathers and glue them to some cardboard.

Considering we're in the midst of some serious presidential campaigns, this costume will be the talk of any party. And it's so easy to make -- if you've got a black Sharpie and a white T-shirt, you're golden.

Why not celebrate one holiday by paying homage to another?

Everything you see here can pretty much be bought at American Apparel. So if you're in a pinch, this is kind of the perfect ensemble.

So simple, yet so sweet. Stick some colorful pom poms onto an all-white outfit and party the night away.

When all else fails, buy yourself a shark costume and don't let anyone kill your vibe.
