You can dress as the good old Sad Keanu meme, or walk around in a blazer yelling, "you're breathtaking" at everyone, but if you're in the mood to dress as an actual Keanu character, here are 12 fantastic costume options. Choose one for yourself or have a Keanu-themed Halloween party with some friends (like the Meryl Streep-themed costume party that Jeremy and Anna threw in The Mindy Project) and dress as the whole Keanu gang.
1. John Wick Keanu
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable One of Keanu's most badass characters is John Wick, a retired assassin who has a deep love for dogs and his dead ex-wife. Wick is a pretty stylish dude in all three films, which means that any Keanu look from John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2, or John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum would make a solid Halloween costume.
What you'll need:
A black shirt, tie, pants, jacket, and shoes (or this pricy pre-made ensemble if you're really dedicated)
A luscious head of hair (or a Keanu-esque wig)
A toy pistol
A real dog or a plush dog to carry around as a trusty sidekick
2. Keanu in Bill & Ted

We highly suggest dressing as Ted in the 1989 movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventurefor maximum nostalgia, but Ted in the 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey,is also acceptable. This Keanu costume will get people properly pumped for the third installment in the series, which is expected in 2020.
What you'll need:
A white band shirt, black vest, black shorts layered over gray sweatpants, a long sleeve orange button-down shirt, high top sneakers, and funky socks (or this pre-made Ted costume)
A floppy Ted wig
3. Always Be My Maybe Keanu

What you'll need:
A black blazer or suit jacket, preferably velvet
Black pants and shoes
A charcoal shirt and scarf
Thick-rimmed black glasses
Probably this wig again
4. Keanu in Speed

Here's what you need:
A long sleeve denim button-down shirt
A white tee
A brown belt and some brown shoes
Tan pants
Some sort of walkie-talkie
5. Something’s Gotta Give Keanu

Keanu played the hot nice guy beautifully, and wore some great, simple outfits.
You can dress in a sharp-looking black turtleneck like the one he sports at the end of the movie, or wear a blue short sleeve shirt and carry a bouquet of flowers around repeating the iconic line, "These are for you to give to me when you apologize." You also have the chance to dress as Doctor Keanu, which is fun.
Here's what you need:
Blue scrubs
White lab coat
Stethoscope
Probably this wig again
6. Keanu in Constantine

If you're in the mood to celebrate the horror associated with Halloween, this is the Keanu movie for you.
What you'll need:
A suit
A tie
A withering stare
7. Point Break Keanu

It's a refreshing costume option that involves a different suit than Keanu's usually sporting in films.
What you'll need:
A wetsuit
A surfboard
Wet hair (perhaps a wet wig)
8. Keanu in Dracula

Neo-esque sunglasses
Black shirt, black pants, black boots
Probably, like, several toy pistols

A short white jacket, preferably with silver buttons and black lapels
A loose white button-down shirt (noticeably unbuttoned at the top)
Perhaps a horse if you're really dedicated!
