The [DIY Halloween costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-mozz-costume) comes from the 'Studio DIY' blog and the look is essentially put together with a yellow dress and a [tall, leafy green paper crown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crownless-pineapple), which is easily made.
