Halloween Costume Ideas That’ll Make You the Life (and Afterlife) of the Party

It’s officially spooky season, and if you’re still searching for the perfect costume, do I have some ideas for you! Whether you’re going solo, pairing up, or rocking it as a couple, we’ve got you covered with costumes that will make you the talk of the haunted house. 🎃

For the Ladies:

1.Wednesday Addams The ultimate queen of deadpan humor, Wednesday is having a major moment thanks to the Netflix series. All you need is a black dress, two braids, and the ability to side-eye like you just spotted someone wearing last year’s costume. Snaps twice.

2. Barbie (Duh) Still buzzing from Barbie mania? Same. There’s a Barbie for every vibe—Beach Barbie, Cowgirl Barbie, or even Rollerblade Barbie (yes, pink neon workout gear is 100% acceptable). Just be prepared to live in plastic (it’s fantastic).

3. Taylor Swift (Any Era) Is it a folklore cardigan kind of Halloween or are we feeling Reputation snake queen vibes? Pick your era of Taylor, throw in some red lipstick, and prepare to break out into emotional ballads at any given moment.

For the Guys:

1. Ken (Of Course) If Barbie’s in the house, Ken must be close behind. Grab a bleach-blonde wig, slap on some swim trunks, or go for a retro denim look. Bonus points if you randomly shout, “Kenough!” throughout the night.

2. Ted Lasso Embrace your inner wholesome football (ahem, soccer) coach with a Ted Lasso look. All you need is a blue tracksuit, a mustache, and an endless supply of positivity. Bonus: carry around a box of biscuits to hand out, and don’t forget to sprinkle in some Ted-isms like, “Be curious, not judgmental.”

@blakespopnook Replying to @swicaboipops plot twist: ted lasso is the reason i have the mustache ⚽️👨🏻 halloween costume this year is a fav!! #tedlasso #jasonsudeikis #halloweencostumes #blakespopnook ♬ Ted Lasso Theme - Marcus Mumford & Tom Howe

3. Maverick from Top Gun Want to look effortlessly cool? Slide into a bomber jacket and aviators, channel your inner Tom Cruise, and don’t forget to ask everyone if they feel the need… the need for speed. (Cue cheesy high-five.)

For Couples:

1. Mario and Princess Peach “Here we go!” as you and your boo roll up to the party. Mario, with his iconic ‘stache and red hat, alongside Peach in all her princess-y glory, is the perfect duo for a night of fun. Bonus: if you’re running late, you can just claim you were stuck in another castle.

2. Elvis & Priscilla Channel the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and his iconic queen. Elvis’s flashy jumpsuit, Priscilla’s big hair, and some killer shades are all you need to pull off this retro dream team. Get ready to dance to Jailhouse Rock all night long.

3. Beetlejuice & Lydia It’s showtime! If you and your partner are into the creepy-cute vibe, this is the costume for you. Beetlejuice’s striped suit and wild hair next to Lydia’s goth wedding dress make for a delightfully spooky combo. Just be careful… say his name too many times, and you’ll have a permanent third wheel!

Final Tips:

Don’t forget to embrace the Halloween spirit with some DIY flair! A little fake blood, glitter, or extra accessories can take your costume to the next level. And remember, if all else fails and you really can’t decide on a costume… you can always throw a sheet over your head and say you’re a ghost. (A chic one, of course.)

Happy haunting! 👻
