We break down the inspirations behind each muse—Vampire, Witch, Siren, Haunted Doll, and Fairy—and how these can be tailored to real-life fashion. Melyssa shares her personal journey, tips for transitioning into dark aesthetics, balancing professional attire with moody elements, and even integrating astrology into your style.
