It's no secret that many Halloween costumes can be super uncomfortable. Luckily for you, Violet Beauregarde's look from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is as simple as slipping into a baby blue tracksuit, your favorite white sneakers, and a bright blonde bob wig. For a fun touch, consider using blue makeup to color your nose and part of your cheeks to re-create the scene where Violet first turns, well, violet. And whatever you do, don't forget your bubble gum!
