The HOTTEST Alien Costumes | Holographic Alien Costume Ideas

This post is about female alien costume ideas.

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.

You don’t necessarily need to focus on the clothing for your alien costume. Get creative with bright makeup! I love how this costume uses such a bright blue – perfect for alien costume ideas.

If bright makeup isn’t your thing but you still want a show stopping look, this is the perfect option.

Want to be an alien, but need to wear your halloween costume to an event that you need to be much more modest than a college party?

This is the perfect option! With a long sleeve shirt and purple skirt, you’ll look super cute but still be very appropriate for any family friendly events. This is one of the most versatile alien costume ideas.

This is that costume. You literally just have to change into it and you’re good to go. Super cute, super easy, and super last minute! This holographic alien costume is one of the best alien costume ideas to rock your Halloweekend.

WHITE CROP TOP AND SILVER SKIRT

A white crop top is a staple in any college party outfit closet, and this costume uses it perfectly!

I love how this costume only requires the shiny metallic skirt, and some chunky glitter. Super cute, and you can probably reuse the skirt for a party theme!

Notice any similarities in these costumes? I did too.

Essentially, most of the alien halloween costumes for college parties were all made up of chunky silver glitter, bright makeup, metallic holographic clothes, and galaxy prints.

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

CHUNKY GLITTER

Add some extremely bright highlight, throw it on your arms, cover your chest in it. Alien costumes are notoriously glittery, and this is the perfect glitter to achieve your super cute look!

SILVER BOTTOMS

Skirt or shorts, both are super metallic and super cute.

HAIR GLITTER

Chunky highlight glitter not enough? Top it off with some super colorful hair glitter.
