12 Halloween Costumes From TV Shows and Movies

12 Halloween costumes from tv shows and movies!

Now that it’s officially October, it’s officially time to start thinking about Halloween. But before we go any further, I think you should know – I hate Halloween 🙈 Or I should clarify, I hate Halloween as an adult. It was always fun as a kid, but now it feels really wasteful… and also, isn’t the world scary enough?! Why do we need to make it bloodier and more violent? For FUN? It’s just not for me.

That being said, one way around these complaints is to come up with Halloween costumes based on movies and tv shows! These costumes can be put together with items from your closet, plus a little shopping… but for items that you’ll wear again after the holiday! I might not be into scary things, but I do love an excuse to go shopping!

In addition to the ideas below, I’d also check out my new Rom Com series! I’ve covered The Parent Trap, one round of You’ve Got Mail (more coming!), and My Best Friend’s Wedding so far!

12 Halloween Costumes From TV Shows and Movies:

Keeley from Ted Lasso

Alright if you watch Ted Lasso, you know that there are SO MANY good Keeley looks, but these two are my personal favorites for Halloween. I even dressed up as the first look last Halloween!! It’s a really easy one to put together – you might even have everything in your closet already! Although don’t sleep on this ponytail extension. It made the look last year 😂

—

Rebecca from Ted Lasso

Of course we can’t talk about Ted Lasso without talking about Rebecca! She definitely has expensive taste, but you can still replicate her look with budget friendly options, too! I’d start for a tie blouse and pencil skirt… and then if you want to use this Halloween as an excuse to buy some red soles or a nice bag, more power to ya! 😉

Anyone from Bridgerton

Unless you’re planning on renting a costume, specific characters from Bridgerton is hard… but the latest Hill House collection gives off VERY Bridgerton vibes. And you can wear it after Halloween, too! Just add some gloves, a fan, and feminine flats! And maybe talk in an accent all night, because why not?

—

Lorelei from Gilmore Girls

This is such a good year to be Lorelei because straight leg denim and square toed booties are BACK! 

—

Alexis Rose from Schitt’s Creek

Alexis has so many epic looks – but this one is probably my favorite for Halloween. Why? Because A Little Bit Alexis is EPIC. And so easy to recreate! Just wear a velvet dress and over the knee boots – and make sure you have the choreography ready to go!

—

Emily from Emily in Paris as Halloween Costumes From TV Shows and Movies

Love it or hate it… you can’t deny that Emily in Paris has GREAT fashion. All you need to recreate Emily is a bold pink coat, a cute sweater, some roses, and maybe a beret for fun!

—

Mabel from Only Murders In The Building

Anyone else love Only Murders in the Building? This look from Season 1 would be so fun to recreate!

—

Cher from Clueless

I’ve gotten a bunch of requests to feature this movie in my Rom Com series, but it feels a little costume-y to me… which is why it’s perfect for Halloween!!

—

Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmations

She may be animated, but Cruella is a pretty iconic movie character. Plus, despite her hair, she’s SUPER chic. 

—

Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl

Blair Waldorf is still the queen of headbands – and it’s a great base for a Halloween costume! 

—

Rachel from Friends

Okay, you might not wear a denim vest a lot… but you WILL wear a cute LBD and black slides. In fact, you probably already have them in your closet!

—

Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz

Dorothy is actually a really easy movie costumes to recreate – all you need is a cute gingham dress, red shoes, and braids! Everyone will know who you are 😉

—

Some other fun Halloween costumes based on movies and tv that I’ve seen recently are Pam and Jim from The Office, Leslie and Ben from Parks & Rec, and anyone from Star Wars! I also think it would be really fun to just wear a chic sweater or blazer from your closet and say you’re Shiv from Succession 😉

Are you dressing up this year? What are you going to be?!
