Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

People look forward to Halloween all year, and yet we still find ourselves scrambling for a last-minute Halloween costume; I know I am. The holiday is rapidly approaching, but there's no reason to settle for anything plain simply because procrastination has triumphed once more. This year has supplied us with a plethora of iconic TV, film, and pop culture moments that may easily serve as inspiration for your outfit. Look to your favorite show's characters, celebrities, and this year's greatest film office successes for last-minute costume ideas that require little to no effort and can be put together in no time.

Take a closer look at what you already have stowed away in your closet before you fill your Amazon basket with craft materials, makeup, wigs, and other costume accessories, since most of the DIY Halloween costumes on this list can be built using resources you already have at home. With so many possibilities, you're sure to discover the perfect Halloween costume for every party theme. I have listed ideas that anyone can do this year and can get it by the weekend. Of course, you can always go a buy some of these costumes already made at the store, props from Amazon, or like I said before your closet.

Princess Diana

Grab your sweatshirt and biker shorts and you are a princess

Harley Quinn

Classic and most likely the easiest costume you can DIY and/or buy at the store

Squid Game Character

Everyone has been obsessed with this show. Dress up as either the red or green jumpsuit and be comfy

Fairy

Doesn’t matter if it is from the store or amazon you can still rock the fairy look like Kendell Jenner

Cat Women

We all have done the last minute cat ears but take it up a notch and be Cat Women

Cruella Deville

Whether you want to go all out or just get the coat, you can pull off this costume this year

Goddess

Rather than dressing up as a generic "Greek goddess." Pick a goddess that sparks up a conversation.

Medical Worker

Like I said you can even check out your closet for some costumes. if you want to step it up a notch you can always add some fake blood

Mummy

Old and Classic and if you are in a rush just wrap yourself up in bandages and you are all set.

Bratz Doll

Pick a Bratz doll that you relate to more rather than just being Barbie

Cops and Robbers

One or the other you can find at the store or Amazon. You can make it really cute or bloody, either way you can get it in the next week

Vampire

From generic to a TV show, you can grab some fake fangs, fake blood and you are all set

Even though these are just some last-minute costumes you can take each one and switch it up. You do not have to do a plain costume this year. Rip it up, add some blood, make it gory, add your touch to the costume this year. Depending on where you are headed this weekend, it is good to have backups or more than one costume. This Halloween people are going to be out because Covid put a damper on things last year, now we are able to do more and go more places. The whole point of this is to break out of your day-to-day wear by dressing up as someone, or something, you’re not.
