6 Extremely Easy and Adorable Costumes for Mom and Baby

Anjelika Temple
Oct 08, 2015

If you’ve been following Brit + Co for awhile, you may recall last year when we dressed Brit’s baby bump in all sorts of absurd, clever and creative maternity Halloween costumes. Well, it’s one year later, and we’ve roped her into another series of fun Halloween costumes ideas — this time with her sweet one-year old son, Ansel!

Kelly Bryden

Misty Spinney put each of these six looks together, and the insanely photogenic Morins rocked each one beautifully. Every costume on this list is super simple to put together yourself (even if you’re a busy mom with a one-year old!).

That monkey suit? COME ON. It’s too good. And we found it at thrift shop — how serendipitous is that? If you don’t happen to have the best luck ever at your local secondhand store, there are plenty of affordable monkey options on Amazon. When it comes to baby costumes, ones that require this much effort don’t really make sense to DIY unless you’ve got mad sewing skills and a fair amount of spare time.

1. Curious George and The Woman in the Yellow Hat Costume

For Brit as The Woman in the Yellow Hat, the costume is simple as can be. Find a simple yellow dress or a t-shirt and skirt or even pants and a button down if you have one, and you’re 90% done with your costume. Add a neck scarf to give the explorer vibe, a pair of booties and top the whole look off with a safari-style hat. Done and done.

Though it was completely absurd that Claire, the main female character in Jurassic World, ran around the entire movie in heels, the simplicity of her look is one we can get behind. Find a matching blazer and pencil skirt (a suit, if you will) and a pair of nude heels, and your look is complete.

2. Jurassic World, Claire and a Baby Dino Costume

But let’s talk about that dino costume. You’ll never believe it, but this was ALSO a thrift store find! We found it at Savers, and honestly couldn’t believe our luck. Like the monkey costume, you can find pretty affordable options on Amazon, but we highly recommend a thrifting trip. Most baby Halloween costumes are worn for a total of 20 minutes tops so they’re available in droves.

The statement piece that you can’t quite see is the sprinkle-covered onesie Brit made for Ansel the night before this shoot! A little fabric paint and five minutes is all it took to whip up. So cute! To create the donut, we cut a donut shape out of cardboard, then attached fabric to the center and stuffed with batting. Use hot glue to bring the fabric around the cardboard to seal your donut. Add your icing layer with another piece of fabric. Then cut felt pieces to make your sprinkles.

3. Cop and Donut Costume

For Brit’s look, start with black pants and black top. Layer a black blazer over it, ideally with gold buttons if you’ve got ‘em. Attach a sheriff pin to the blazer and find yourself a cop hat. These two pieces are easy to find at most costume stores, or on Amazon if you don’t have time for a shopping trip. Finish the whole look off with a very stern donut-loving look and you’re good to go.

I know, I know. When you first read Usher, you were thinking, “U Got It Bad.” Sadly, in today’s edition of awesome Halloween costumes, that Usher is nowhere to be found. This costume is one you’ve definitely seen on the Internet, but we had to recreate it with these two darlings. The usher look is simple — black skirt, white button down and bowtie.

4. Usher and Bucket of Popcorn Costume

For the popcorn, grab your baby carrier and a handful of safety pins. That’s right — this is totally temporary piece. Create the front of your popcorn bucket by attaching red stripes to a piece of sturdy white fabric. You can use felt for this, or ribbon. Use adhesive felt letters to add POPCORN to the pieces, then attach to your baby carrier using safety pins. For the popcorn hat, we purchased a cheap baby hat and hot glued actual popcorn right to it.

Venture under the sea with this Disney classic. I know you are going to guffaw in disbelief, but we actually found that cuddly red onesie at a thrift shop. No joke! Obviously crabs like Sebastian aren’t typically furry, but this was too cute to resist. Outfit your wee one in a red onesie, and then make a simple cotton headband with red pipe cleaners and googly eyes. So easy!

5. The Little Mermaid Ariel and Sebastian Costume

Ariel’s outfit is a little more complex. We created a mermaid skirt from scratch, layering pale purple and green fabric to create an iridescent look. You could also do the same thing on top of an existing skirt if you don’t have the time or skills to create a skirt from start to finish. Up on top, we have a metallic purple bandeau tied underneath a purple shell bikini. Top the whole thing off with a luxe red wig and you’ll be singing songs with fish in no time.

Naturally, our grand finale is the Queen Bee herself, Beyoncé. We couldn’t resist a little word play with the whole Bee/Bey thing and the fact that our fearless leader Brit is often known as B to her closest friends. For the queen bee, get yourself a fitted yellow dress. Then belt it. Order a pair of inexpensive bee or yellow butterfly wings, and then crown yourself with a tiara fit for a… queen bee ;)

6. Queen Bey[oncé] and Blue Ivy Costume

Of course, Blue Ivy is the real star here. Blue onesie? Check. Fake ivy painted blue? CHECK.

Brandon Sklenar Looks GOOD In New '1923' Season 2 Trailer

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.

A Peek Inside Our Halloween Bash With Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard

Hi friends! Brit here, founder of Brit + Co. I love Halloween because it's one of the most creative holidays, when you can really express yourself and have some fun no matter what age. This year our team had a blast throwing the ultimate Halloween party with co-hosts and all around good people Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, who launched their organic baby line Hello Bello this year. My husband Dave and I sat with them to chat about everything from this year's family costume to their parenting and marriage tips (more on that) to Frozen spoilers and more. As you can see from my costume, I am beyond excited for Frozen 2 to hit theaters Nov. 22!

We kicked off our fright fest with plenty of haunted DIY stations, ghoulish activities, creepy decor, and of course, fun DIY costumes. The food was spooktacularly cute too: candy apples, mozzarella witch fingers, chocolate spider cookies and jalapeño mummies. My favorites were the pumpkin mac and cheese and the classic “worms in chocolate dirt” dessert.

We all got our DIY on, Halloween style! Kids made their own spooky masks, haunted balloon ghosts with LED lights, and they even scored a DIY trick or treat bag with vinyl decals for decoration. Our face painters and balloon artist conjured up all kinds of cool costume props, designs, and haunted hats. Here’s my little guy with his balloon sword and DIY Tic Tacs costume.


As we sat down to chat with our co-hosts, we learned more about Hello Bello. The brand originated from Kristen and Dax's passion for making plant-based baby products that are accessible to everyone. All Hello Bello products (diapers, bubble bath, wipes, lotion and a really great sunscreen) focus on sustainability, natural ingredients, and affordable prices. Walmart stocks them nationwide, or you can buy from their website. They also donate diapers to organizations dedicated to getting kids the things they need. This week, they announced a 20 percent discount for all first responder families to support fire victims, and those risking their lives to save their communities.

Kristen and Dax have two kids, ages four and six. Their best parenting tip: "Have patience. Breathe deep. One strategy is not going to work for two human beings [about raising two kids]. Stay flexible," said Dax. For couples ready to hit the aisle: "Go into it knowing it's a beating,” said Dax. “But it's worth it. You gotta go in knowing it's going to be endless work. It’s just like your body: you're not going to work out, have that perfect six pack, and never have to exercise again.” They did a family costume this Halloween, as Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. The little ones dressed up as Rudolph and a Christmas tree. Even the dogs went as elves and a snowman!

Of course, we had to talk about a little thing called Frozen 2. "Frozen has matured with its audience,” said Kristen. “It's a little bit more dramatic this time, as you can see from the previews. It's still a story about the sisters, but we're no longer in Arendelle, and Elsa has started to hear a mysterious voice calling to her. You will meet a lot of new characters and you’ll learn a lot about their past, and what will threaten the kingdom.” Kristen shared. Spoiler alert: We’re also in store for some really amazing songs, including one by her!

What a phenomenal night. Huge thank you to our co-hosts: the Hello Bello team, Kristen Bell, and Dax Shepard. Hope y’all had a very Happy Halloween!

Until next year!

Whether you’re a Gilmore Girls fan or a die-hard Owala sipper, you’re gonna want to hear this: Owala is dropping a Gilmore Girls collection! Adorned with adorable illustrations that pay homage to the hit TV series, this limited-edition drop is not one to be missed.

Scroll on to learn more about the Gilmore Girls Owala drop, including pricing and when you can shop the new cups!

Owala

“Gilmore Girls fall—it’s a thing,” Owala’s site reads. “If you’re the kind of person who needs coffee in an IV, we’ve got the mugs for you. Choose from Luke’s Diner or The Dragonfly Inn… or get both. We know Lorelai would.” This collab is already perfection!

Owala

The Gilmore Girls Owala drop honors both The Dragonfly Inn and Luke’s Diner with two super cute cup designs.

The first is a cream white 20-ounce SmoothSip Slider dotted with purple dragonflies. The lid is a bold yellow color fitted with a lavender slider that’s used to conveniently open and close the cup.

Owala

The second 20-ounce SmoothSip Slider flaunts a brown and yellow logo for Luke’s Diner with a color-coordinated lid and slider. We truly can’t pick a favorite!

Both SmoothSip Slider cups feature an insulated stainless steel lining that keeps contents hot up to 6 hours or cold up to 24 hours. The cups are certifiably BPA-free, lead-free, and phthalate-free. The lid on each cup is dishwasher-safe, while the cups themselves should be hand-washed only.

Owala

This upcoming Gilmore Girls collab is part of Owala’s Color Drop program, which means it’s bound to sell out. However, if the drop sells out in an hour or less, it’ll automatically open for backorders, which ship 10-12 weeks after purchase. Previous drops have featured limited-edition water bottle colorways and even a fun Valentine's Day vault.
