I wrote my other halloween costume posts quite a while ago, but as Halloween draws more and more near, I’m seeing an undeniable trend.
The amount of alien costumes circulating the internet is pretty insane. It’s a trending search term, and I can pretty much guarantee it’ll be one of the most popular Halloween costumes for college parties.
I can see exactly why these costumes are so popular. They’re sparkly and super fun, and you can dress them up or down as much as you want. They’re relatively affordable, and can be repurposed for other costumes or even just general party outfits.
Here are our picks for super hot alien costume ideas for college parties.

Here’s the best of the best to absolutely rock each category of your alien halloween costume for Halloweekend.
HOLOGRAPHIC OUTFIT
Going the holographic route? Here’s two options, both under $20. An entire halloween costume for under $20? That’s what I’d call a steal
SILVER BOTTOMS
Skirt or shorts, both are super metallic and super cute.
Green Two-Piece Set
A green alien costume is super adorable and a little different from the silver metallic look. It’s the perfect last minute Halloween costume–all you need is a green crop top, green shorts, and this super cute alien headband you can get on Amazon.

Toy Story Alien Costume
Dressing up as the aliens from Toy Story is such a cute take on an alien Halloween costume! You could pull this off alone or with a group of friends. It’s also super convenient because you can buy the entire costume as a set on Amazon.

Space Buns
No matter how you bring your alien costume together, space buns are the perfect hairstyle. You can easily throw your hair into this style with clear rubber bands.

Green Wig and Alien Sunglasses
These alien sunglasses are definitely a must-have for your Halloween costume. Pair it with a green wig, and you’ll bring out the more fun, goofy side of an alien costume.

Colorful Metallic Shorts
If you don’t want to overdo the silver, colored metallic shorts have a space-like, alien feel as well. This is also ideal if you’re doing a group costume, because you can all sport a different color.
