"Ted Lasso" has warmed the hearts of many, so it's no wonder this costume will be another popular choice.

To dress up as chess star Beth Harmon, head to your local vintage store to find the perfect 1960s shift dress. Look for dresses with a minimalist design that highlight the pockets or collar. Makeup should be simple with red lipstick and cat eye makeup. Be sure to carry your chess set with you.
