These 2021 Halloween Costume Ideas Are Already Iconic

2021 halloween costume ideas

We want to go big or go home for spooky season, and these 2021 Halloween costume ideas are the perfect place to start. We looked to this year's TV premieres, iconic pop culture, and pun humor as the source of our inspiration. These show-stopping Halloween costumers are fun and creative, so that whether you're working on a group Halloween costume or going solo, you'll have the best costume around.


Squid Game Halloween Costume

Squid Game is intense, exciting, and people everywhere love it. All you need to recreate this show's costume is a white tee, a teal track suit, and some white slide on sneakers. Let the games begin!

Scarlet Witch

Scarlet Witch (aka Wanda Maximoff) is one of our favorite female superheroes, and her role in this year's WandaVision only made us love her more. Go for her new Avengers costume or pick one of the many looks she wore across the decades.

The Bridgerton Sisters

With its absolutely beautiful costumes, it's no wonder that Bridgerton took the world by storm. That also makes it a can't-beat choice for Halloween.

Taylor Swift(s)

We love this take on the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video, but Halloween costumes inspired by the "Bad Blood" music video and Taylor Swift eras are also up for grabs.

Your Favorite Painting

Grab your partner or your best friend and recreate any number of art pieces.

Houseplant

Spending a year and a half indoors makes it very easy to gather quite a few house plants, so why not dress up as one for Halloween? The best part is you don't need to worry about watering it.

The Scooby Gang

Every member of the Scooby Gang is iconic, which means any pair of them will be a winning costume.

Outer Banks

If you live somewhere warm, you might prefer a Halloween costume consisting of a bikini top and shorts. But if the weather is already cooling down, don't worry: Outer Banks season 2's costumes also include sweaters.

Your Favorite Purse

You've got this look in the bag. (Get it?)

Audrey Hepburn

A look this classic (and easy) cannot be overlooked. All you need is an LBD, a pearl necklace, and a tiara!

Cruella De Vil

As far as we're concerned, any Disney villain is a great choice because it gives you a reason to brush up on your Halloween hair and makeup skills.

A Punny Costume

Find your favorite pun and turn it into a costume. Not only is this dust bunny hilarious, but it also pays homage to all the cleaning we need to do...
