2024 COSTUME IDEAS
1. BARBIE
Barbie is definitely one of the biggest movies of 2024, and a huge source of fashion inspiration for us all.
If you want a Halloween costume idea that’s cute, sexy, and most importantly, super on-trend for 2024, we highly recommend dressing up as Barbie this year.
For a classic Barbie doll look, the most important thing is to think pink!
On top, wear a cropped t-shirt or tank top that features the iconic Barbie logo.
On the bottom, nothing screams “Barbie” like a hot pink mini skirt.
If you want to stay true to the Barbie movie, you can also take inspiration from Margot Robbie’s incredible outfits, like cowgirl Barbie, ‘80s roller skate Barbie, or disco Barbie.

2. PAMELA ANDERSON
Last year, the Hulu series Tom and Pammy starring Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee and Lily James as Pamela Anderson took the world by storm.
This year, Pamela Anderson herself kept the momentum going with her Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story.
Take inspiration from this Pamela Anderson renaissance with a Pammy-inspired Halloween costume!
If you don’t already have Pamela’s gorgeous bleach blonde hair, sport a blonde wig, teased and hairsprayed into her signature voluminous ‘90s blowout.
Then, combine the iconic blonde hairdo with a provocative black leather corset.
If you want to take the look all the way, you can even apply a temporary barbed wire tattoo around your upper arm, or, if you’re artistic, draw it on with waterproof liquid eyeliner!

3. WEDNESDAY ADDAMS
Netflix’s hit series Wednesday may have come out in 2022, but because it was released after Halloween of 2022, no one has gotten the chance to recreate Jenna Ortega’s iconic costume for Halloween yet!
Of course, one of the most important aspects of a Wednesday Addams costume is her two long, black pigtail braids.
If you have long, black hair already, this is an easy girl Halloween costume. If not, you can totally buy a pre-styled Wednesday Addams wig!
Then, pair the look with a black mini dress. Make sure the dress has Wednesday’s signature white collar!
If you want your costume to be super show-accurate, you can also buy a recreation of Wednesday’s iconic sheer black school dance dress online.

4. EUPHORIA
Euphoria is another of the hottest, most fashionable, and most aesthetically pleasing TV shows out right now.
If you’re a fan of the show, you already know that it offers no shortage of incredible fashion inspiration.
Basically every outfit on Euphoria is worthy of a Halloween costume recreation, but one of the most iconic looks is Maddy’s New Year’s Eve party dress from the first episode of Season Two.
Her black bodycon dress with cutouts is sleek and simple, but also super sexy and instantly recognizable.
Don’t forget to do your makeup to match! No Maddy look is complete without her signature sharp black cat eye.

5. TAYLOR SWIFT
If you’re a big fan of Taylor Swift, you know that the Eras Tour is one of the most iconic pop culture moments of 2024.
At each tour date, Taylor Swift megafans are showing up to her concerts decked out in their best recreations of iconic Taylor Swift looks.
If you’re a huge fan of Folklore, we’re willing to bet that “Mirrorball” is one of your favorite songs from the album.
To emulate “Mirrorball” vibes, show up to your next Halloween party decked head-to-toe in silver glitter.
Pair a glittery silver top with a silver skirt for a look that’ll make you the shining star of any Halloween party. For more TS costume ideas, check out our full list of Taylor Swift halloween costumes.

Another easy and classic Halloween costume for college girls is the idea of a lifeguard.
This costume is also easy to recreate with clothing items that you may already own.
If you have a pair of red athletic shorts, those are the perfect bottoms for a lifeguard costume.
On top, you can buy a tank top that says “lifeguard” on it. Or, if you have a red or white one-piece bathing suit, that’ll totally work, too!

10. BLACK CAT

Cat costumes get a bad rap for being basic and boring, but we think they’re a classic for a reason!
Like the witch costume, the basics of a cat costume are super simple. Just pick out a cute all-black outfit made of clothing items you already own!
Then, all you need to buy is a pair of black cat ears.
Don’t forget to draw on a cat nose and whiskers with some black eyeliner to really commit to the look!

You can totally DIY a Powerpuff Girls costume using clothing you already own. Just create three monochromatic outfits in green, pink, and baby blue!
