33 Cute-As-Hell Blonde Halloween Costume Ideas That'll Make Heads Turn
Blondes have more fun, confirmed.
Say it with me: I am better than a cliché vampire Halloween costume. I know you're feeling lazy now, but October 31st is the best opportunity to get creative and go all out. There's no excuse for a boring costume—not when I’ve spent my entire Tuesday curating these genius blonde Halloween costume ideas specifically for you and your hair color. No, friend, I simply cannot abide by it.
Because when you base your costume around your hair, it genuinely makes Halloween planning 10 times easier. It gives your whole look an element of authenticity and takes away any need to buy an itchy wig you’ll throw away after that night. And, if you do a pop culture Halloween costume—like the ones I chose ahead—you can probably shop within your own closet. Or if you do purchase anything, you’ll most likely be able to wear those things again for non-Halloween purposes.
In the end, these clever blonde Halloween costumes will feel just as easy as fangs and fake blood, but are sooo much more creative and fun. Promise!
Beyoncé's Red Cowboy Carter Tour Look
There can only be one Beyoncé, but for one night only (October 31) we can all throw on our cowboy hats and thigh-high boots and give it out best shot. This red look is one of my favorites.
Taylor Swift's Life of a Showgirl Cover Art
There are literally hundreds of Taylor Swift Halloween costume ideas to choose from, but given her album's October 3 release date, this is easily the most timely. Truly, anything with rhinestones and feathers will do, but a body chain and a rhinestone bra will be the most accurate.
Ariana Grande's "We Can't Be Friends" Look
One of her best songs, in my opinion! Recreating Ariana Grande's SNL performance look is easy—all you need is a black slip dress and a big, fluffy, maroon fur coat. Then grab a white eyeliner pencil to create the graphic eyeliner look that Ari wore both on SNL and in her music video.
Baby Spice in Spice World
Spice World should literally be in the Louvre, because that movie is a masterpiece. It's culture iconography. It's a damn work of art. And it just so happens to come with an adorable early 2000s costume perfect for a blonde—just pull out a pink gingham mini dress and tie your hair into high pigtails!
Sabrina Carpenter from the Short n' Sweet Tour
Pull a corset out of your closet, grab a value pack of rhinestones, and go ruin a man's night. It'll be a fun Halloween, trust me.
Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City
Despite her questionable obsession with Mr. Big, you've gotta admit that Carrie had some of the most iconic outfits on TV, like this one from the Sex and the City opening credits. Bet you already own a pink tank, too.
Milly Alcock from Sirens
Dip into your mom's personal reserve of archival Lilly Pulitzer and pop on a white headband to channel the energy of Simone, the preppy assistant from Netflix's Sirens.
Margot Robbie as Barbie
The Barbie movie provided literally dozens of incredible blonde halloween costume ideas for the masses. If you're looking for a last-minute costume you can make with items from your closet, Margot Robbie's pink gingham look is a great place to start.
Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch
You already know Wicked costumes are going to be everywhere in 2025, so you might as well embrace it. It's also a socially-acceptable occasion for wearing a giant pink dress to a house party!
Pamela Anderson from Barb Wire
Channel your inner Pamela Anderson with this badass costume. Grab a black bodysuit and make sure you have tons of hair spray for teasing your hair. There's never such a thing as too much volume with this one.
Fiona from A Cinderella Story
Jennifer Coolidge's character in A Cinderella Story is forever a m-o-o-d... even if she was the "evil" stepmother.
Sharpay Evans from High School Musical
I've said it once and I'll say it again: Sharpay Evans is not! the! villain! How could she be with such an incredible wardrobe? Grab a pink robe, a one-piece swimsuit, and some massive sunglasses to complete this poolside look.
Regina George from Mean Girls
Sry, Rachel McAdams, but there's a new Regina in town, and her name is Reneé Rapp. Channel her Y2K energy with an off-the-shoulder top, exposed bra straps, and an R necklace.
Sandra Dee from Grease
Sandy's edgy makeover in the movie Grease is definitely jaw-dropping. She looks killer in tight black leather leggings, an off-the-shoulder top, and red peep-toe heels.
Rapunzel from Tangled
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, please let down your hair! The longer the locks, the better. Add a pink and purple corset with a long skirt to the mix, and you're set.
Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones may have aired the show's finale back in 2019, but the series was as much a phenomenon as our collective obsession with this dragon queen. A mesh or sequin dress in a gunmetal shade, plus beachy waves, equals GOT perfection.
Elle Woods from Legally Blonde
There is quite literally no more iconic Halloween costume for blondes than that of Elle Woods, Harvard Law School class of 2004. Throw on a pink bodycon dress and take advantage of the fact that you can bring your dog in on the costume.
Elvira Hancock from Scarface
For a fun throwback, get yourself a slinky blue slip and transform into the v chic Elvira Hancock from 1983's Scarface. You'll be able to wear the slinky dress over and over again post-Halloween.
Lola from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
Lindsay Lohan's character and that bottle cap necklace have been living rent free in our heads since 2004. People are selling homemade ones in Etsy, so you can really lean into the vibe.
Alice in Wonderland
For a truly timeless costume, take a trip down the rabbit hole as one of Disney's most iconic blondes. All you need is a sweet blue dress with some ruffles and other girly details.
