Believe it or not, there are ways to dress up as the consummate Fashion Person while still achieving peak comfort. Take Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for instance, who walk red carpets in dresses better used as tents for camping. It's truly a no-brainer for best friends who've always been told they look like sisters (or would look like sisters with giant sunglasses on, which is a must). Grace Coddington is another relaxed fit choice, who rarely puts on heels, so why should you? Bonus points for those able to nail her silky Met Gala pajamas look.

Since everyone in fashion knows each other, plenty of these costumes can be grouped together. While duos like Bella and Gigi or Ralph Lauren and Kanye West make for obvious options for the paired up, Kim Kardashian and Olivier Rousteing could be perfect for those in a designer/muse relationship. For a lazy twosome that's J.Crew-obsessed, making an appearance as Jenna Lyons and the infamous Tilly sweater would lead to a few chuckles. And hey, if you don't already own the shadily-named Tilly, it's on sale!

Are you an adult child who wants to spent the whole night crying? Permission granted! There are plenty of fashion babies to dress up as this year, as their presence in the front row has never been stronger. For all the baby and none of the tears, look to Harper Beckham and fam. Check out these and all of the fashionable options above.
