We have you.
Halloween is closer than you think and since it’s bound to be us (pun absolutely intentional) in no time, now is the best time to start putting your costume together.
With a cost of living crisis, the last thing we want to do is buy more than we need for a costume, and when it comes down to it, wigs are often the most unnecessary part of any costume.
To make things much easier, going for a costume of your natural hair color is always the best route, and there are so many great costumes for everyone.
We’ve found the coolest ones so you don’t have to, narrowing them down to each hair color and even finding the ones that work best for groups, trios, and BBFs.
Blonde
Elle Woods is a classic, and who doesn’t want to wear all pink for a night?
Euphoria’s Cassie might be a big one this year and people may think you’re auditioning for Oklahoma, but it’s still good.
Margot Robbie’s Barbie is another excuse to wear pink for a night, but taking inspiration from the roller skate photo that was posted is even better.
Regina George’s mother. Is there anything else to say for this one?
Paris Hilton in the mid-2000s can go two ways: wearing a pink Juicy Couture tracksuit all night or her 21st birthday dress. That’s it.
Carrie is simple but effective, and definitely has more of a scare factor than the others.
brunettes
Jenna Rink, a 2000s movie icon and you can find her Thriller dress on Amazon – you’re welcome.
Megan Fox in Jennifer’s body. That’s it, that’s the costume.
Mia Thermopolis, if it’s good enough for Hailey Bieber last year, it’s good enough for us this year.
Mabel Mora of Only Murders In The Building because who doesn’t want an excuse to be Selena Gomez for one night?
Miss Congeniality is really just an excuse to wear a glamorous dress and pretend to be more glamorous than normal.
Chani from Dune. Again, you’re dressed as Zendaya for the night, who’s complaining?
Redheads
Kim Possible, call me, let me know if you want to join me. Iconic all-purpose, parachute pants are all the rage right now.
Max Mayfield from Stranger Things, Eleven had his Halloween glory when the show first came out – now it’s Max’s turn.
Magenta from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This movie is a classic for Halloween, so it would be rude not to make it for a year.
Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch is the obvious superhero option this year, with the show being a major hit on Disney+, now is the best time to get away with this costume.
Geri Halliwell/Ginger Spice, need we say much more?
Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas is another one that leans into the spookier aspect but also just pure classic.
Or if you’re taking a buddy trip with each of these hair colors, you could always be the Sanderson Sisters or the Powerpuff Girls.
When it comes to duos, there are a few that are ideal. Velma and Daphne, Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart, Lizzie McGuire and Isabella, Paris and Nicole, Paris and Kim, Kim and Kylie (which works regardless of hair color).
