Minion & Gru
Gru: If you want to be the boss of all minions, go as Gru. Wear a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie. To get Gru’s signature look, you might need a fake bald head or a bald cap. Carry around a toy minion or a stuffed animal to really sell the character.
Minion: And of course, where would Gru be without his minions? Dress in a yellow shirt and blue overalls (or just blue jeans). Get yourself a pair of minion goggles, and top it off with a yellow beanie or cap. It’s simple, it’s cute, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser.
Pirates
Classic Pirate Attire: Arrr, matey! If you’re dreaming of the high seas, go classic with your pirate costume. For the guy, start with black pants and a white shirt. Add a red sash or belt to give it that pirate flair. For the gal, a red and black striped skirt or dress will do the trick.

Bonnie And Clyde
Bonnie: Want to go vintage and a little bit rebellious? Bonnie is all about that 1930s flair. Find a flapper dress or something with a bit of glitz. Add a beret and some toy guns for that iconic gangster look. Bonnie’s hair can be curled or kept in a bob—it’s all about that old-school glam.
Clyde: Clyde, on the other hand, should stick with a pinstripe suit. Slick your hair back and throw on a fedora hat to complete the look. With these costumes, you’ll look like you just stepped out of a classic crime movie.
Astronaut and Alien
Astronaut Attire: So, you want to explore the cosmos? Start by putting together an astronaut look that’s out of this world! Grab a white jumpsuit or just some white pants and a shirt.

Now, you’re ready to launch!
Alien Look: Want to go intergalactic? Transform into an alien with some green or silver face paint. For an extra eerie touch, try some glow-in-the-dark makeup. Simple alien antennas can be made with a headband and some foil. Now you’re ready to say, “Take me to your leader!”
Forrest Gump and Lt. Dan
Forrest Gump: Life is like a box of chocolates, and so is this costume! For Forrest Gump, start with a plaid shirt, khaki pants, and white sneakers. Top it off with a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. cap, and carry a box of chocolates as your prop. You’ll be ready to run across the country—or just to your next Halloween party.
Lt. Dan: Lt. Dan’s look takes it to the next level. Find some army fatigues or camo clothing. A wheelchair prop will help you nail the look, but it’s not necessary. A dog tag necklace is a must. To create the illusion of Lt. Dan’s missing legs, wear black leggings, then layer jeans or camo pants with holes cut at the back of the knees. Fold the fabric to make it look like your legs are missing. It’s all about that detail!
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell
Peter Pan’s Look: Never grow up with this Peter Pan costume! A green tunic or shirt with green pants is the base of your look. Add a brown belt and a toy dagger for that adventurous feel. And don’t forget Peter’s iconic green hat with a red feather—it’s what makes him Peter Pan, after all.
Tinkerbell’s Outfit: Sprinkle some pixie dust with a Tinkerbell costume! A green dress is all you need to start. Add sparkly fairy wings to capture that magical essence. A small wand or a glow stick can act as Tinkerbell’s wand, lighting the way as you flutter through the night.
Pennywise and Georgie
Pennywise the Clown: Looking to terrify everyone? Go as Pennywise! Start with a white jumpsuit, and use red face paint to create that creepy smile. A red balloon is a must-have prop—it adds the perfect touch of spookiness. Complete the look with red hair or a wig, and you’re all set to haunt the streets.
Georgie from “IT”: Or maybe you’d rather be the unfortunate Georgie? All you need is a yellow raincoat, just like Georgie’s. Carry a red balloon (hopefully it floats!), and don’t forget a paper boat with “SS Georgie” written on it. For a more daring touch, consider faking a missing arm—yikes!
Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Fred’s Look: Yabba Dabba Doo! To become Fred Flintstone, grab an orange caveman tunic. Use black felt or fabric paint to add his signature triangles. Don’t forget to tie a blue scarf around your neck to complete the look. Now, you’re ready to roll—just make sure you have your Wilma by your side!
Wilma’s Dress: For Wilma, a white, sleeveless dress is key. You can easily make it from a white bedsheet or find a simple white dress. A chunky white necklace will help you match Wilma’s style perfectly. Together, you and Fred will look like Bedrock’s most iconic couple.
Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf
Little Red Riding Hood: Off to Grandma’s house? Start with a red hooded cape or coat. A white dress or skirt with a red belt will pull the outfit together. Don’t forget to wear white socks and black shoes—classic and cute. You’ll be ready to outsmart the Big Bad Wolf!
Big Bad Wolf: Speaking of the Big Bad Wolf, if you’re going for this look, a furry gray or brown costume will do the trick. Make or buy wolf ears and a tail, and use face paint or a mask to finish the look. Just try not to scare Little Red too much!
Lorax and the Once-ler
The Lorax Costume: Want to speak for the trees? The Lorax is your guy. Start with an orange jumpsuit or some orange clothing. Craft a Lorax mustache from yellow felt or fabric. To complete the look, make a yellow truffula tree tuft hat. Wear brown shoes or shoe covers, and carry a “Save the Trees” sign for extra flair. You’ll be spreading the word in style!
The Once-ler Costume: Or, if you’re feeling more like the Once-ler, grab a plain white button-up shirt. Add a green tie or ribbon for a pop of color, and wear a brown vest or jacket. A brown fedora hat is the perfect accessory. Carry a fake axe or a thneed (that fluffy scarf) to complete the look.
