Halloween is here again!

That magical time when the ghosts creep out, witches fly and every mystical creature comes to life.

It’s the one season where you can wear the wildest costume and makeup and walk on the streets without getting strange looks.

What I love most about Halloween is the creativity. Everybody really puts their back into it.

I see some looks, and I’m completely blown away, like “how on earth did she do that?”. Honestly, it feels like everybody becomes an A-list stylist in October and I love it.

That being said, finding the right Halloween costume that really makes you stand out can be overwhelming. As someone with a PhD in last-minute decisions, I used to spend the weeks leading up to Halloween frantically searching and stressing over what to wear.

The problem is not lack of options, it is that there are too many.

Every time you find a look you love, you scroll again and BAM! There is a better one.

And the loop continues until you are left with two options:

• Panic and call your friends saying you don’t know what to wear?
• Or pull out the same costume that you wore last year, (and the year before that).

This is why you have been wearing the same cat costume for the past five years now, Samantha.

But this year? Things are going to be different.

At least that’s why you are here: to try something new. Something fresh. Something that will have you looking gorgeous both on camera and in person.

So, today we are going to be looking at 38 easy halloween costumes for girls shopping last-minute.

You think I’m done, no darling.

I have also included links, so you can shop the exact pieces.

That way, you can bring your favorite looks to life without stressing about where to find the right items.

These are not just costumes, but unforgettable LOOKS guaranteed to make you feel confident and stunning with ease.

Okay enough of the long talk, let’s jump straight into it.

This Halloween costume is inspired by Flora from Winx Club; a fictional guardian fairy character known for her potions and nurturing personality.

This outfit features a cute corset top with floral details, paired with a mini pink skirt, and matching pink opera gloves.

It is everything magical and beautiful.

Pirate

2. Dress + Corset + Scarf

When I first came across this look, the first thing that came to my mind was “Pirates of the Caribbean”, the premium version.

This outfit is a girl’s girl costume because it is going to have you snatched and stunning.

If you haven’t tried one, you really need to, trust me.

3. Dress + Corset + Boots

One thing a pirate look will always do is EAT DOWN.  

In fact I have come across more than 10 looks today and each one of them left my jaw hanging.

Pirate outfit is an easy halloween costume that might seem complicated at first, but trust me, it’s is actually simpler than you think.

All you need is an off-shoulder mini dress, a scarf (red to be precise), a corset, and finally, a belly dance scarf with gold coin details to complete the look.

Kathrine From Vampire Diaries

Katherine in The Vampire Diaries is a stunning character with an incredible sense of fashion.

So it is no surprise that this look is fire.

It is simple yet truly gorgeous.

For a more dramatic effect, add a pair of fake vampire teeth and a touch of fake blood.

Kesha

5. Cropped Top + Fishnet Tight + Short

Credit: halleyhoellwarth

Kesha’s fashion style was bold and unapologetic. It was chaotic, yet still managed to make a statement.

Most fashion rules say, if you go bold in one area, you need to tone it down somewhere else.

But not Kesha, she would throw on ripped tights, boots, an oversized tee shirt or cropped graphic top, and metallic makeup, all in one look, and somehow it would still be a hit.

As a 13-year-old super fan, I remember wanting to grow up so fast just to replicate her style. For me, she was an icon, and she still is.

So if you are still living for Kesha’s 2009-2012 era and would love to recreate her style for Halloween, here is the perfect inspo for you.

Cat Woman

6. Leather Jumpsuit + Mask

Catwoman is one of those easy halloween costumes that is undeniably sexy.

It screams dark feminine energy and femme fatale. This is a look that will instantly make you feel confident.

Have you ever come across a woman in this outfit? Her walk immediately changes, her pose shifts, and everything about her radiates confidence and charisma.

It is almost as if the moment you put on this costume, the spirit of confidence overtakes you.

This look also falls under the category of dark feminine outfits.

So Samantha, instead of going for a regular cat costume, why not switch things up this Halloween by dressing as Catwoman?

Cupid

7. Top + Ruffled Skirt + Bow

Credit: freyacartwrightx

Going for this adorable Cupid look, pair a corset top with a ruffled mini skirt for that sweet yet flirty vibe.

Stick to soft tones like white or blush pink to really capture the essence.

Then, add a pair of wings, and of course, don’t forget your little bow and arrow to shoot love straight into the hearts of people.

After all, the world could use a little extra love right now. And just because it’s Halloween doesn’t mean romance can’t be part of the magic.

8. Cinderella

Bodysuit + Glitter Gloves + Missing Shoe

Credit: marissaayerss

The Cinderella costume has been around for decades, but every year it just keeps getting better.

As a child, it was my go-to costume to wear because Cinderella was my favorite Disney princess.

I have also recreated this look as an adult a few times, and trust me; it never feels or looks the same.

Let me tell you how to make this look more fun, hold one of your shoes in your hand like a Cinderella who just found her lost shoe.

Cleopatra

9. Bralette + Shimmering Maxi Skirt

How about we call this “ Cleopatra $eduction”  what do you say?

This Halloween look includes a shimmering gold bralette paired with a sequin maxi skirt.

A sleek gold headpiece and matching arm cuffs elevate the outfit, adding a sultry yet regal touch, perfect for channeling Cleopatra at any Halloween party.

If you are searching for easy halloween costumes that radiate divine feminine energy, then a Cleopatra-inspired look should definitely be on your list.

Hot Bunny

10. Corset Top + Black Mini Skirt + Bunny Headpiece

Credit: ronidannino

This outfit is the perfect combination of cute, playful, and sexy. 

All you need to recreate this look is a bunny headband, a fishnet tight, a black corset, and a mini skirt.

Add a bow neckpiece for that extra razzle-dazzle.

And just like that, you are a hot bunny. Ooh, I like that name.

Burlesque 

11. Top + Short + Feather Plume

Guys, I think I have found my favorite costume for Halloween.

Oh my God, I am blown away, obsessed, and in love.

This is it. This is the perfect Halloween outfit.

There is absolutely no way you would wear this to a party and not turn heads.

After all, burlesque outfits are the definition of top-tier glamour.

So if you are a true maximalist and love a sophisticated look, then this is a costume you should rock, no questions asked.

Cave Woman

12. Leopard Print Bandeau Top + Skirt + Fur Boots

Credit: morganmgoodrich

Ok hear me out: cave woman but make it modern, and chic.

You have got the leopard print bandeau top, the asymmetrical skirt, and the furry boots that bring in that primal, rugged touch.

However, this is not the type of cavewoman who lives in the wild and hunts animals.

Instead, she is a baddie who lives in a condo and can’t start her day without her morning coffee.

13. Deer

Brown Corset Top + Pleated Skirt + Deer Headband

So it seems to me that deer costumes are finally getting the spotlight, it’s about time.

I have always thought deer costumes deserved to be just as popular as the classics like witches, princesses, vampires, and angels.

The look is whimsical and woodland-inspired, yet it can also be cute and feminine depending on how you style it.

Contrary to what many people think, deer costumes are not hard to pull off at all.

Take this look for example: pair a corset top with a mini skirt and add a deer headband, and you are good to go.

14. Top + Ruffled Mini Skirt + Deer Headband

Credit: mia.dla

Create this outfit by pairing a strapless corset top with a ruffled mini skirt and finishing it off with a deer headband.

Take it up a notch by wearing a deer-inspired makeup look.

Once again goes to show that deer Halloween costumes are not difficult to pull off.

Joker

15. Blazer + Top + Skirt + Tie

Credit: szeszeferitta

I have never really tried the Joker look before because I always thought it was too dramatic for me and probably wouldn’t suit me, especially with the makeup.

I usually preferred to play it safe with princess, fairy, angel, or bridal looks for Halloween. 

But this year, I’m going all the way.

I want something totally different, fresh, bold, and over the top; and this lady Joker look is definitely on my list for the season.

16. Red Blazer + Pants + Vest

Credit: jillian.oc

This is one of those easy halloween costumes for women who love over-the-top looks.

It features a red blazer paired with matching pants, creating that classic Joker-inspired vibe.

Moreover, the chic beige blazer sets the perfect base, allowing the red pants and blazer to pop even more.

In addition, I love the way the green bra was seamlessly woven into the whole look, as it adds an extra layer of detail to the Joker costume.

Cheetah Girl

17. Strapless Top + Skirt + Headband

Just like the deer costume, the cheetah is another easy halloween costume that will make you stand out at a party.

This is something you can actually put together in minutes and with what you have in your closet ( or your sister’s closet).

Avatar

18. Bra + Skirt + Fake Avatar

Credit: issajsantiago 

One of the best ways to become a main character this Halloween season is by not following the crowd.

So, choose something that everybody else is not wearing. And no outfit does it better than the avatar costume.

If you are looking for cute and easy halloween costumes that are unique and creative, then the Avatar costume is your best bet.

Not only is it stunning, but it also flatters your body in the best possible way.

School Girl

19. Cropped Shirt + Denim Skirt

Credit: claudia.martinez

To create this schoolgirl look, pair a cropped shirt with a denim mini skirt. Then, tie the whole outfit together with a classic tie and a chic shoulder bag.

This is also one of those cute and easy halloween costumes that you can quickly put together at the last minute, especially when your original costume doesn’t go as expected.

Finally, to make the look more realistic, carry a few textbooks as the finishing touch.

Glinda, The Good Witch

20. Pink Mini Dress + Tiara + Wand

Credit: pinkmoonbabyy

When we think of witches, we usually picture black dresses, pointy hats, and broomsticks, basically, all gloom and doom.

However, Glinda is different: she’s pretty, kind, and sparkly.

So, why not be that instead?

To achieve the look, all you need is a strapless corset dress, a tiara, and a glittering wand to tie everything together.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks Glinda looks more like a princess than a witch? 

Little Bo Peep

21. Top + Layered Skirt + Crook

Credit: salmafarid

Last year, everyone seemed to be into gory and spooky outfits.

But this year, it feels like cute and pretty costumes are taking over and I’m loving every little bit of it.

So here we have the little bo peep costume.

It’s playful, sweet, and has that vintage charm with all the pastel colors and ruffles.

I would say the little sheep toy and shepherd’s crook sealed the deal for me.

It just takes the whole look to a whole new level of girly and adorable.

22. Top + Checkered Short + Ruffled Socks

Credit: hallierichins

Little Bo Peep is one of those easy halloween costumes that never fails to look adorable and girly. Honestly, this look gives me major cuteness aggression.

If your theme for this Halloween is “adorable,” then this costume is definitely your best bet. 

Now, here is another fun way to style your Little Bo Peep costume.

Style a ruffled corset with checkered shorts. Then, add two pink hair bows for that extra playful and charming touch. 

Furthermore, don’t forget your ruffled socks and, of course, a little sheep toy (it’s a must)

Overall, this image is beyond adorable.

It’s giving, “I lost my sheep and now I found it.”

Marie Antoinette

23. Top + Skirt + Lace Tights

If you know history, then you definitely know about Marie Antoinette. In fact, history itself is not complete without her.

And if you know anything about her, then you already know she was a  BADDIE.

Madame Marie had the women of France going to extremes to attain her looks. 

She was the ultimate trendsetter of her time.

So, if you are looking for easy halloween costumes that will truly announce your presence.

Listen up, I’m talking about something extravagant, something dramatic, and something that will have people completely shook. 

Then, honey, go for a Marie Antoinette costume; it’s iconic, timeless, and absolutely gorgeous.

24. Satin Corset Top + Mini Skirt + High-Thigh Socks

Credit: amberscholl

One word for this look: breathtaking, truly breathtaking.

This outfit clearly says, “I’m here, bow to me.”

Moreover, the creator really pulled off the extravagant Marie Antoinette look. There is absolutely nothing about this that says basic or regular; instead, this is glamour at its finest.

From the corset with structured boning to the layered mini skirt, and from the thigh-high stockings to the headpiece and the heels: Each element works hand in hand to create a look that is regal and sophisticated 

Just look at this gorgeousness. Do I even need to say more?.

25. Dress + Socks + Shoes

She really said, “Let them eat cake,” and walked in like royalty.

The corset, the shoes, the stockings with a pink bow detail: this whole Marie Antoinette outfit is giving luxury and grace.

And can we talk about the feather and fan? Chefs kiss

It’s giving vintage, it’s giving sophistication, it’s giving 18th-century high fashion.

Queen Of Hearts

26. Top + Black Skirt + Paper Crown

Credit: malintomkins

This is one of those quick and easy halloween costumes that is simple yet stunning.

This costume features a strapless corset covered in playing card suit prints with a black ribbon lace-up front detail.

In addition, the black fitted shorts balance the detailed corset, making the outfit look chic.

Meanwhile, the thigh-high stockings add a pop of color and a playful twist.

Finally, the paper crown with red heart accents completes the ensemble, perfectly capturing that Queen of Hearts–inspired look.

27. Dress + Socks + Crown

I love it when one concept is styled in different ways; it truly shows the versatility of fashion.

So, if you like the first outfit but want something more, then here is another way to style it.

I would say this look is bolder and leans more toward the sophisticated side than the simple one.

Also, it gives off strong villain energy, which fits perfectly with the character’s theme.

Witch

28. Pointed Hat + Mini Dress + Gloves

Credit: janetwise

A dark witch costume, but make it sexy.

For this look, we are going with a black mini dress, paired with a pointed hat and sleek black gloves.

To add that sultry yet spooky touch, style it with tights featuring spider details.

Now that’s how you rock a witch costume like a true fashionista.

Before we proceed to the next outfit, you must know that dressing for Halloween is more than just your outfit and makeup. Your nails also play a major role too.

If you haven’t figured that out yet or probably haven’t started thinking about it, don’t worry, I have got you covered.

Check out this article for some of the best Halloween nail inspo you can steal to take your entire look to the next level.

Little Riding Hood

It’s flattering, fun, and the perfect Halloween outfit for anyone who wants to make a statement without doing too much.

A black corset and mini skirt is something you can easily pull out of your closet.

Yes, you don’t have to spend a ton just to create a Halloween look; you can definitely make do with what you already have.

All you need to make it fit more into the Red Riding Hood theme is to add a red cloak.

Finally, for that edgy finish, complete the ensemble with slingback heels and white ruffled socks.

Elle Woods

30. Satin Bodysuit + Bunny Ears + Tights

Elle Woods, the woman who was constantly underestimated because of her beauty and style.

The scene where she wears this bunny costume is widely regarded as the most memorable Elle Woods look.

This is not only because of the outfit itself, but also because of the powerful story behind it.

To me, wearing this outfit is more than just putting on a costume.

It is about being unapologetic for who you are and holding your head up high, even in situations that were deliberately designed to put you down.

31. Bodysuit + Pink Tights + Bunny Headpiece

Credit: peytonbenoitt

To style this look, you will need a pink bodysuit paired with pink tights. It has to be pink, guys, no other color will do if we are recreating this outfit.

Next, grab a bunny headpiece (can’t do without it) and finish it off with some heels to add that feminine, chic touch and complete the outfit.

Oh, and lest I forget, for the cherry on top, add a bow neckpiece.

This is actually one of those easy Halloween costumes you can wear solo or even twin with your best friend for double the Elle Woods effect.

Princess Belle

32. Top + Layered Pants + Tiara

Just like the name, this costume is absolutely beautiful.

When it comes to Disney princess looks, they always EAT and Princess Belle’s is no exception.

You can choose to wear the original costume or add your own modern twist. Either way, it will still look good, no matter how you decide to style it.

The corset top highlights the curves, offering a flattering silhouette, while the layered mini skirt keeps the outfit sleek, playful, and edgy. This combination ensures it doesn’t look boring or outdated.

And of course, we can’t forget the tiara; what is a princess without one?

33. Corset Top + Ruffled Skirt + Gold Gloves

Another way to style your Princess Belle outfit is by blending vintage and modern elements.

The highlight of this look is definitely the gold gloves; they add a fresh, refined touch to the entire outfit. 

Also, it’s quick to pull off, which is why it deserves a spot on the list of easy halloween costumes.

All in all, I love everything about this look. It’s giving flowery beauty, light feminine energy, and pure princess vibes.

Bride

34. Veil + Lingerie Dress

Bridal looks are one of my favorite easy halloween costumes because they are gorgeous, delicate, and ethereal.

This is a great way to style your bridal look, especially if you don’t want to deal with heavy wedding gowns. 

Also, if you are going out with your partner this Halloween season, this is the perfect outfit to wear with him; just make sure he is in a tuxedo.

I recommend holding a bouquet of flowers, it instantly adds more life and romance to the entire look.

Fairy

35. Corset Dress + Fake Wings

Credit: danielaaroyo05

Another episode of easy halloween costumes that never fail, we have the fairy outfit.

I’m sure by now we all know these fairy costumes are foolproof.

So if you don’t have anything planned for Halloween, or you are at a crossroads and can’t decide what to wear to that party (especially the one with all the popular girls or even your ex), then go for a fairy costume.

Show up and grace the night with your magical presence.

Angel

36. Top + Skirt + Wings + Gloves

There is something about an angel’s look that feels so ethereal, heavenly, and graceful.

Whenever I come across it online, or see someone at a party wearing the costume, I’m always stunned.

I imagine an invisible light shining brightly behind them, with a soft breeze flowing through.

The angel look will always hold a special place in my heart.

Everyday Elle Woods

37. Jacket + Skirt + Sunglasses

Credit: mirellabelle

To recreate Elle Wood’s everyday look, start with a pink cropped jacket paired with a matching fitted midi skirt.

To elevate the outfit, add a pair of sunglasses and a handbag for that chic, stylish finish.

Then, carry a small dog as a prop, just like Elle with her beloved Bruiser. Bonus points if the pup wears a little pink shirt, so both of you are twinning.

Clawdia From Monster High

38. Mini Skirt + Fur Jacket + Cropped Top

Clawdia from Monster High was the ultimate IT girl. Her bold outfits were always to die for.

To create this gorgeousness, you will definitely need a wolf headband (since she’s a wolf). Then, pair a cropped top with a low-waist mini skirt.

Layer on a cropped fur jacket, and finish it off with thigh-high socks and boots for that fierce Clawdia vibe.

Now, don’t be afraid to play around with colors, just make sure to blend them in a way that feels playful, chic, and balanced.
