Sandra Bullock and her son Louis wore spooky skeleton costumes to a party on Saturday, October 19. Bullock wore a long lace dress with [skeletal details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-skeleton-bottle) and had her face painted like a sugar skull. Her son wore a skeletal bat costume and didn't look too keen on wearing the wings.

The pair are definitely pumped about the annual holiday. It's always a fun, creative idea to [match costumes with your child](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading). These outfits in particular hold true to the dark, eeriness of Halloween. Going with a theme makes it easier to pair costumes -- Sandra Bullock and Louis went with the idea of skeletons.

Going with a theme also allows for more creativity with hair, makeup and accessories. The black and white skeletal shades made it easier for Bullock to emphasize her facial features in a morbid way with red lace details around her eyes and a red bow around her neck.
