Halloween is basically tomorrow (well… it’s in a few days, but we’re already panicking), and the idea of buying an overpriced polyester dress you’ll never wear again? Hard pass.
Luckily, I’ve rounded up 50 totally doable, last-minute costumes you can pull together with stuff you already own or can snag super cheap.
Think styling your go-to pieces with a few clever tweaks—because queen energy doesn’t require a week of prep. ✨
1. Rosie the Riveter
Grab a denim shirt, roll up the sleeves, pop on a red bandana, and you’re basically a feminist icon. Bonus points for a slick of red lipstick. Nobody will know you pulled it together in 10 minutes.
2. Black Cat
All-black outfit + cat ears = you’re mysterious, chic, and basically channeling midnight. Add winged eyeliner for drama. Easiest Halloween look ever.
3. Wednesday Addams
A black dress with a white collar (or fake one, DIY is your BFF) and braided pigtails. Dark lipstick optional—but highly encouraged for mood.
4. Witch (But Make It High-Fashion)
Long black skirt, oversized hat, boots, and layers of dark jewelry. Add a smoky eye. People will think you own a Salem apothecary—and you might.
5. Vampire Chic
Think velvet blazer, lacy top, red lipstick, and fake fangs. Skip the cape unless you want full drama. Effortless but still screams I bite.
6. Cowgirl
Denim shorts or jeans, plaid shirt, boots, and a big hat. Add a belt buckle for yee-haw energy. Bonus: comfy enough to dance in all night.
7. ’80s Aerobics Instructor
Bright leggings, leotard, leg warmers, and a headband. If you don’t have leg warmers, cut the sleeves off an old sweater. Neon Optional—but really, why not?
8. Greek Goddess
Wrap a white sheet like a toga, cinch at the waist, add gold jewelry. Get creative with a thin belt as a headpiece for extra divine vibes.
9. Pirate
Big white shirt, vest, boots, and a scarf tied as a headband. Smudge some eyeliner for the “I’ve been at sea” look. Rum bottle prop highly encouraged.
10. Flapper Girl
Little black dress, layered pearls, headband with feather, and deep lipstick. Instant 1920s magic without needing to buy fringe everything.
11. The Tourist
Oversized floral shirt, sunhat, sunglasses, and camera around your neck. Socks with sandals optional (but hilarious).
12. Mime
Black pants, striped shirt, beret, gloves, and white face paint. Speak with your hands all night—commit to the bit.

Layer flowy skirts, scarves, bold jewelry. Smoky eye + eyeliner magic. Bring a deck of cards to “read fortunes.”

Wear your regular clothes but shred them a little, add fake blood, messy hair, pale makeup. Congrats—you survived the apocalypse.
