QUICK & EASY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

1. SPACE COWGIRL

This futuristic cowgirl look has been super popular in 2024. Plus, it’s really easy to throw together. A cowboy hat and silver metallic clothing is pretty much all you need to bring this trendy Halloween costume to life. To elevate the look, throw in some cow print, fringe, and silver face glitter.

3. TINKERBELL

Tinkerbell from Peter Pan is always a lovable costume for Halloween. For college girls, you should make your Tinkerbell sleek and stylish with individual pieces (rather than just buying a full costume from Disney World). A green satin slip dress is the perfect piece to start with.

4. MUSIC FESTIVAL GIRL

I’m obsessed with the music festival aesthetic, especially following the summer season. Dress up as a festival girl with anything that screams desert vibes. Personally, I love the two-piece fringe sets and retro sunglasses.

If you want to feel super glam and fabulous, Barbie is the perfect Halloween costume for you this season. Everyone is obsessed with Barbie after the live-action movie came out in 2023, so this costume will be more relevant than ever.

This is such an easy Halloween costume for college girls and it’s always on trend. To achieve the iconic Dallas Cowboy cheerleader look, all you need to do is deck out in blue, white, and spandex all over. And don’t forget the sparkly pom-poms! Netflix just came out with a series about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, so this costume is trending!

9. BRATZ DOLL

Everyone is obsessed with dressing up as a Bratz doll in this year, including me. This trending Halloween costume for college girls is so sassy, fierce, and effortless. Since Bratz dolls have so many diverse looks, you can get creative and fashionable with it. My favorite way to create this costume is with a cropped top and plaid mini skirt.
