30 seriously genius blonde Halloween costume ideas to wear this spooky szn
Do blondes really have more fun? Only one way to find out!
If you're anything like us, October is here and your Halloween costume for this year is still yet to be decided. But don't panic, we've all been there. Our top tip for creating the absolute best costume? Base it around your hair colour. After all, so many great costumes are recognisable because of the hair – Kim Possible for redheads, Pulp Fiction's Mia Wallace for that blunt bob, and now Sabrina Carpenter's voluminous blow-dry and fringe for all the blondes.
If you're not a natural blonde but want to see what life's like on the other side, just grab a blonde wig. Halloween is the perfect time to o-w-n those golden locks, bbz. And you've come to the right place for all the best blonde costume ideas to get you inspired.
From celebrities past and present (hi, Pamela Anderson and Taylor Swift!) to your favourite fictional movie characters, consider this a goldmine of solid (and actually unique) ideas that are all centred around shades of blonde, from platinum to dirty blonde. Whether you're working with a short cut, long length, curls, or waves, you'll find a famous blonde on this list that'll work for you. There are even some killer ideas thanks to celebrities who have nailed Halloween looks in the past (lookin' at you, Kendall Jenner).
So, what are you waiting for? There's no more time to waste. Get scrollin' to find a truly iconic blonde moment that's sure to impress.
Sabrina Carpenter
Few people are having a bigger year than Sabrina, so it's a perfect time to recreate one of the Short n' Sweet singer's trademark looks. Platform boots at the ready!
Carrie Bradshaw
Despite her questionable obsession with Mr. Big, you've gotta admit that Carrie had some of the most iconic outfits on TV, like her tulle tutu from the Sex and the City opening credits.
Alice in Wonderland
For a truly timeless costume, take a trip down the rabbit hole as one of our favourite Disney blondes.
Taylor Swift
The limit does not exist when it comes to Taylor Swift costumes (especially after all those Eras Tour looks!!).
Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire
Channel your inner Pamela Anderson with this badass costume that Kendall Jenner previously repped. Grab a black bodysuit and make sure you have tons of hair spray. There's never such a thing as too much volume with this one.
Fiona from A Cinderella Story
Jennifer Coolidge is an icon and her character in A Cinderella Story is forever a m-o-o-d – even if she was the ‘evil’ stepmother.
Madonna
Remember when Madonna kicked off her Blond Ambition World Tour wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra? Ofc you do!!
Regina George from Mean Girls
Sry, Rachel McAdams, but there's a new Regina in town, and her name is Reneé Rapp.
Lola Bunny
Yes, she is a rabbit, but if you watched Space Jam, you know she is a blonde rabbit, so it totally counts!!
Rapunzel
Rapunzel, rapunzel, please let down your hair! The longer the locks, the better, tbh.
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.
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.
Tiffany Valentine from Bride of Chucky
Bonus points if you can get your partner or bestie to dress up like Chucky for a couples' costume that is equal parts cute and scary.
Elle Woods from Legally Blonde
Name a more iconic blonde than Elle Woods. I dare you.
Elvira Hancock from Scarface
For a fun throwback, get yourself a blue evening gown and transform into the v chic Elvira Hancock from 1983's Scarface.
Storm from X-Men
I'm not saying Storm is the most powerful member of the X-Men... But I'm not not saying it.
Sailor Moon

Raise your hand if you still want to be Sailor Moon when you grow up!
Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman
