Another perfect look for you and your bff. Two of my friends did this last year and they seriously rocked it the whole night. Their girly side was in full force and they really completed the look with the high pitched Barbie voice too haha. Any pink clothes you have can make this work flawlessly.

5. Sexy-cute Cat

Recreate this halloween costume:

If you say you haven’t been a cat for halloween before, you must be lying. This is one of my favorite cute halloween costumes that I’ve repeated an embarrassing amount of times over the years. When there’s three nights of celebrating, having a pair of cat ears on hand is definitely useful! Throw on those whiskers with some face paint and call it a day.

6. Southern Housewives

Recreate this halloween costume:

Ohh yessss. This is one of my favorites. I know we all secretly binge housewives of whatever city you prefer, so this is SUCH a fun costume. With this cute halloween costume you get full permission to look and act the part. I would totally wear a bralette with a blazer and toss on some pearls. You most likely already have an outfit you can throw together!

7. Cheetah Girls

Animal print has made a fulll come-back and I’m so here for it. So many cute ways to throw this one together and who doesn’t want to strut their stuff on the dance floor all night like an OG cheetah girl?! I would also for sure put on a fake head-set and sing cheetah girls songs allll night long.

8. Cat In The Hat

Bringing the childhood memories into full-force with this one. From the face paint, to the hat, to the ears- there’s so many different ways you can pull this one together! 

9. Hippies

Recreate this halloween costume:

I seriously LOVE the hippie look. I’ve seen so many people do it over the years and everyone always looks amazing. It’s also suuuper common in college to have hippie themed parties, so you’ll be fully prepared. You can also add a little twist with some Coachella vibes too.

10. Skeletons

Recreate this halloween costume:

I did this with my friends two years ago and we got sooo many compliments. This is another perfect costume that you can do with a huge group of people. All you need is a black outfit and some face paint! Best part is, I promise you don’t need to be artistic to draw the skeleton face, easier than it looks!

11. It Clown

Recreate this halloween costume:

This movie truly terrified me, but I’m obsessed with how this couple pulled off the look of Georgie and IT. Don’t have a boyfriend to do this with? A best friend will work just as well. Nothing beats looking scary AND hot at the same time.

12. Cute Deer

Recreate this halloween costume:

I saw soo many girls do this a couple years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. The face paint looks amazing on anyone and I’m seriously debating doing this for Halloween this year. I’d for sure also lather on that fake tan for this one!!

13. Princess Peach & Mario

Ugh, this couple looks so cute. You can really put together any outfit and toss on that pretty little crown. The onesie also looks super comfortable, so if that's more your vibe- I say go for it!

Recreate this halloween costume:

One of my all time favorites without a doubt. These iconic white boots are everything especially paired with a colorful dress and I can guarantee the attention will be on you all night because you’ll look SO good. If you don’t have white boots, tall white socks with any white pair of shoes works just as well!

15. Space Cowgirls

Recreate this halloween costume:

A little combo action going on here that looks amazing. The shiny fits are so trendy and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who doesn’t look good in a cowgirl hat. This is also perfect if you’ve been either a space girl or cowgirl in the past, because you can make a whole new costume out of stuff you already have!

16. Talladega Nights

Recreate this halloween costume:

If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with country music. This is right up my alley, and for sure a costume I plan to wear this Halloween. Also the perfect excuse to get yourself a pair of cowboy boots and listen to country music all night.

17. Animal Onesies

Recreate this halloween costume:

Living in the midwest, this costume looks so ideal to me. It gets super chilly around Halloween where I live, so a onesie is the perfect way to look cute and stay warm. Best of both worlds am I right?! I’ve worn onesies for halloween in the past and the amount of people that told me they were jealous I was warm was insane.

18. Angel

Recreate this halloween costume:

I promise you’ll turn heads at any Halloween party with this one. Have a bff that needs a costume? This turns into the perfect duo with a devil sidekick, because every duo has a devil and an angel.

19. Rock N' Roll

Recreate this halloween costume:

Who knew rock n’ roll could look so chic? This is also perfect to do with your whole friend group! Best part of the costume in my opinion is getting to wear the messy hairstyles. The dark makeup is so fun to put on too and you’ll feel like a total bad a**

The perfect dynamic duo. You and your bff will for sure kill it with this look and dressing up as Disney characters is always so much fun.

23. Pirates

25. Tinkerbell

Recreate this halloween costume:

The shimmery eyes are for sure my favorite part of this cute halloween costume. This one is super easy to throw together with some fun makeup and clothes you already have. Once you have your wand you’re all set and I know with a wand in my hand all night my confidence would for sure skyrocket haha.

26. Rodeo

Couples always kill it with this look. You won’t have to do much convincing with this one for your boyfriend because all he’ll really need is a cowboy hat! You can definitely do this with a group of friends too.

Recreate this halloween costume:

I went to a roaring 20’s themed party last year and dressed as a flapper girl and loved every minute. I got so many compliments on my outfit and it totally made me wish I got to live through the 20’s. You can always use a dress you already have, or buy a dress you know you’ll for sure wear again. Everyone loves a flapper girl!

29. The Angel & Devil

Recreate this halloween costume:

The trendiest and most iconic bff costume ever. I did this one year with my partner in crime and both our costumes turned out so good. It was also so fun to play the part of good girl bad girl.

30. Firefighter & Dalmatian

Recreate this cute halloween costumes idea:

One year my friends and I had a party where all the girls dressed as dalmations and all the guys dressed up as firefighters. It was literally so much fun and all the guys were comparing who had the best firefighter costume, it was hilarious and so entertaining. I’ve also heard of people having a 101 dalmations party with one Cruella De Vil and this dalmatian costume would be so perfect for that too!

31. Wig Out

Recreate this halloween costume:

OMG I am seriously going to try and convince my group of girlfriends to do this with me this year. How could you not have a good time when wearing a neon wig?! I’ve definitely seen girls do this for bachelorette parties and am so jealous, so I love the idea of doing this for a cute halloween costume. Also the perfect time to whip out your alter ego, we all have one. Don’t deny it. I would totally have all my friends wear white with the colorful wigs and call it a day.

32. 80's Aspen

Recreate this cute halloween costumes idea:

This whole costume can totally be thrown together with a quick thrifting trip. Amazon actually has some awesome colorful jackets too. If you ski or snowboard and have goggles, toss those on and you’re good to go! Perfect as a solo costume or with a group of friends. If you’re feeling extra ambitious you could even carry around some ski polls.

33. Cher (Clueless) and Mermaid Man (SpongeBob)

Recreate this halloween costume:

Haha this one actually makes me laugh. It might take some convincing for a friend to dress up as Mermaid Man, but I know you’ll be able to pull-off Cher no problem. Your local thrift store will for sure have some plaid you can use.

34. Construction Workers

Recreate this cute halloween costumes idea:

This construction worker costume is so simple and cute. You can seriously wear any outfit as long as you have the bright hat (can for sure be a beanie or if you want to go all-out a hard hat works too) and the reflector vest. Do this by yourself, with a friend, group of friends, or your boyfriend!
