Our time in Barbieland is far from over because Halloween is right around the corner! Because everything in the Barbie universe is totally dependent on imagination, just about anything is possible when it comes to your outfit of choice. So whether you're going stag, or you're looking for the greatest group Halloween costume ever, you'll love these Barbie Halloween costumes.
The best part is, they're easy to make for yourself thanks to thrift stores and closet swaps. That way, you save some money and have a lot more fun. If you don't have time to organize a closet swap, we've also included some online shopping alternatives!
Cowgirl Barbie

All you really need for a killer cowgirl costume is an outfit that's got lots of pink and some Western flair. Barbie mentions in the movie that she loves denim (Ken's more of a fringe man himself), so feel free to grab some pink jeans — and even a pink denim vest — to go with your pink cowgirl boots.
If you can't find the perfect cowgirl hat, just make it yourself! Find a good cream colored hat to use as the base, and decorate it with a ribbon or two for a pop of color.
Barbie Movie Women's Barbie Cowgirl Costume
If you want to grab a premade costume to cut down on your pre-Halloween prep time (there are snacks to make, after all), then opt for a jumpsuit + bandana combo. You'll stay comfortable and still look groovy.
Gingham Barbie

When the first look at the movie dropped, creators like Cat Quinn immediately recognized the Wizard of Oz Easter egg in Barbie's gingham dress. Instead of two braids and ruby slippers like Dorothy (unless you're doing a gingham group costume, in which case, go off sis!), add pink kitten heels, a hair bow, charm bracelets, and some flower jewelry to complete the look!
Barbie Pink Gingham Dress
The best part about grabbing a pink gingham dress for your Barbie Halloween costume is that it is very cute and very versatile — you'll get a ton of wear out of it after Halloween's over!
Rollerblade Barbie

This iconic look (which you can directly recreate with our Barbie costume tutorial!!) is one of the first images of the movie that we got to see, and it's the perfect 'fit for anyone who loves to rollerblade since you'll get use out of the skates and pads again!
Pink biker shorts are easy to find, and thanks to Impala, you can also grab a screen-accurate pair of neon skates. The multi-colored bodysuit is incredible, if you'd rather wear a tank, that works just as well. Your Ken can grab matching shorts!
Roller Blade Barbie Costume
If you're detail-oriented and you want to make sure your whole outfit matches down to the fabric shades, you might want to opt for a premade roller blade costume. This one comes with a leotard, visor, elbow pads, and knee pads so you don't have to worry about all the accessories.
Weird Barbie

Pink babydoll dresses are all over the internet, and with some fabric paint, you can add an array of rainbow designs. Graphic eyeliner and hair chalk will give you that already-iconic beauty look, and for a hilarious final touch, pair one Birkenstock sandal with one ballet shoe (in lieu of a heel).
Kate McKinnon Weird Barbie Costume
This colorful dress + mesh lining will be instantly recognizable against a lineup of Stereotypical Barbie Halloween costumes, and since Weird Barbie loves to stand out, it's incredibly in character.
1960s Barbie

If temps won't cool down by the time Halloween rolls around, opt for this vintage Barbie look. Red nail polish and white cat eye sunglasses are easy accessories to source. Bonus points if you find the perfect striped dress — you can use it after the holiday is over.
Handmade Margot Robbie Swimsuit
If you'd rather spend your Halloween by the pool (relatable), opt for a handmade swimsuit that will still let you dress up. This one also comes with a pair of super cute sunglasses!
Pink Jumpsuit Barbie

The easiest friend or family group Halloween costume ever? Barbie pink jumpsuits. Accessorize with sunglasses and hair pieces of all colors, shapes, and sizes and you're golden. Or add a pair of headphones and go as Greta Gerwig!
Women's Short Sleeve Button-Front Boilersuit
We'd recommend grabbing a nicer jumpsuit or boilersuit for your Barbie Halloween costume so that you get more use out of it than a single night. Wear it sandals, sneakers, or your favorite slippers if you're staying in :).
More Barbie Halloween Costumes
Sailor Barbie

One of my favorite things about Barbie is that all of the costumes feel very accessible and easy to replicate any time of year. Thank you Jacqueline Durran! Case in point: a pink striped shirt is the perfect pop of color at the office, but pair it with a pink captain cap and earrings and you're instantly recognizable as Sailor Barbie!
Blue Barbie Halloween Costume
Blue Cosplay Dress ($94)
When Margot Robbie's Barbie goes to get help from Weird Barbie, she wears a 1960s, sophisticated-yet-playful minidress that will be perfect for fall — especially when paired with loafers.
Blowout Party Barbie + Ken

My favorite look of the film is Barbie's blowout party look. Sequins! Metallic heels! The bounciest hair I have literally ever seen! If you're very committed to authenticity, you can sew or hot glue sequins to a creamy jumpsuit to make sure you have the same pattern that Margot Robbie's Barbie does here, but you can also opt for a pre-made sequined jumpsuit.
Add a gold belt to a white jumpsuit for an easy Ken look!
Denim Ken

Rock this vest-and-jeans Canadian tuxedo for a low-key Halloween look (bonus points if you have "KEN" boxers!). It's super easy and super comfortable. SUBLIME!
Beach Barbies

For beachy Barbie, opt for bright colors and patterns like polka dots, stripes, and ginghams. You also can't go wrong with a visor! If you want to go as beachy Sterotypical Barbie, a pair of high waisted cream shorts and a blue and white polo tank will set you apart.
I Am Kenough

My entire theater lost it when Ryan Gosling appeared onscreen wearing a "I Am Kenough" hoodie, and grabbing one for yourself will definitely be the coziest Halloween costume ever! If you don't want to spend $60, there are plenty of options on Etsy.
Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House Look

A black bandana, sunglasses, a horse necklace, and a fur coat. Who would have thought this would become of the best looks from the Barbie movie? During Ken's patriarchy coup, he wears this equal-parts-ridiculous-and-incredible ensemble and there's a good chance you could find every piece at your local thrift shop.
Not A Barbie

If you're someone who doesn't like to go all-out with our costumes (or for those moments when it's not appropriate to show up in a sparkly pink cowgirl suit) take inspo from America Ferrera's character Gloria! Grab a cute button down and killer sunglasses and you're gold.
Camping Barbie

Grab your favorite pink bandana for this look because it's a super easy option you can wear to the office and to your Halloween party. Spatula encouraged.
Allan

He might not be Ken, but thanks to the Barbie movie, Allan is now just as iconic!! You'll be instantly recognizable with a striped shirt and blue shorts combo.
