Halloween isn’t just for kids to dress up and have all the fun. We Mama’s love to get creative too! These Halloween costumes range from super simplistic to being more creative in requiring hair and makeup effort.
We are all in different seasons of motherhood and when you have little ones, you’ll likely be putting a lot of time and energy into helping them buy or home-make their Halloween costumes. If this is the case, the onesie and cat ear options might speak super louder to you. If your kids are closer to the grade school ages, you could find yourself having more time to focus on your outfit, and in that case, the movie-themed or multi-piece costumes would be a lot of fun to pull off. You really can’t go wrong! Most of these costume ideas have couples or family options so have your camera ready this year.
This post will show you fun and unique costume options that range from being a classic witch, a spooky Red Riding Hood, a festive pinata, and an adorable pumpkin or black cat. Some of my absolute favorites listed below are the Pink Ladies outfit, Mad Hatter, shower Loofah, Wednesday Addams, and Barbie. Honestly, with so many trendy Halloween costumes ideas to choose from, I feel like I need Halloween to be a 3-night event.
Halloween is such an exciting time of year whether you’re trick-or-treating with your kids, hosting a themed party, or simply taking in all the spooky decor. I know these costumes will get you into the spirit and I sincerely hope this is your favorite Halloween costume ever. Enjoy!
Halloween Costumes Ideas
1. Pumpkin Costume
You can never go wrong with the classic pumpkin costume because it’s perfect for trick-or-treating with your kids or attending neighborhood parties.

I’ll confess. I’ve been a Pink Lady a time or two and it never goes out of style. It’s easy to pair with jeans or leggings and you’ll also stay comfy all evening long.

If you’re looking to try out a different era, this disco hippie is the costume for you because it screams “I’m a cool Mom”.
4. Mad Hatter
How fun is this costume?! The colors and design are perfect for Halloween, especially if you’re looking for a more spooky look.
5. Inflatable Flamingo
Inflatable costumes are here to stay. They have really taken off the last few years but I can also guarantee it will put a smile on everyone’s faces who see you coming.
6. Bumble Bee
Sometimes a Mama just wants to look cute! I’m a big fan of this costume if you’re in your postpartum stage because you don’t have to pressure yourself into fitting in a tight “sexy” outfit. Plus, you can always dress baby up in a little bumblebee outfit too!
7. Hooters Girl
Ah, Hooters. This one will take you back to your college days so why not get into the spirit and live back in your youth for a night?
8. Glamour Witch
Does anyone else love being a cliche witch every Halloween? This is a Halloween costumes ideas that is comfy and will keep you cozy if Halloween tends to be on the colder side where you live.
9. Beer Babe Oktoberfest
An Octoberfest costume for the month of October is enough to sell me on this one. Also, I may or may not love me some adorable pigtails.
10. Snow White
As they say, “Who is the fairest of them all?”. You are! With the new Disney movie coming out soon, this is a perfect choice to wear while trick-or-treating with your kiddos.
11. Top Gun Flight Dress
This is an outfit I know husbands would love and you could also easily make this idea into a couples theme. So I highly recommend it!
12. Loofah Costume
I’ve personally been a loofah for Halloween and it’s in fact one of my favorite looks of all time. You can wear normal clothes under it for comfort and pair it with high heels or Ugg boots.
13. The Nightmare Before Christmas
I’m a scaredy cat but if you love Halloween horror movies and spooky characters, then this is the outfit for you.
14. The Incredibles
A little Pixar fun! You can wear this as a stand-alone gal at a party or dress the entire family up in this theme for trick-or-treating.
15. Black Cat Onesie
Sometimes, you just need to be comfy and a onesie is how to do it! Living in the Midwest, we can easily have snow falling when trick-or-treating. Also, who wouldn’t want to be a black cat on the best night of the year?
16. Ghost Poncho
If it’s a year that you need simplicity and ease, this ghost poncho is a spooky option you’ll love because you literally just throw it over your clothes. In other words – perfection.
17. Princess Elsa
Do you want to build a snowman? A mom is the queen of the household so why not dress like one? I love this costume because it won’t keep anyone guessing who you are.
18. Cinderella Princess Costume
This is the perfect way to dress up without dressing up. The costume is easy to put on and comes with everything you need for a magical night.
19. Super Mom Cape
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wearing this multiple times throughout the year, just to give your family a reminder – ha!
20. Toy Story Jessie
I’ve had Mama friends wear this costume trick-or-treating and I was blown away by how legit it was. It’s easy to pair with other Toy Story characters too!
21. Women’s 70s Costume
The 70s was a fabulous era and it deserves recognition. Who doesn’t love a little fringe?
22. Wicked Witch
This is another variation of a witch Halloween costume if you’re going for a more sexy vibe. The lace adds so much sass.
23. Wednesday Addams
Thank you Jenna Ortega for bringing this delightful character back to us in all its glory. This is a great Halloween costumes ideas if I’ve ever seen one so I say go for it. So spooky.
24. Red Riding Hood
Instead of filling your basket with fruits from the forest, candy would be a much wiser option.
25. Space Jam Costume
If you’re a 90s kid like me, Space Jam will always be cool.
26. Scarecrow
A Fall-themed costume is totally the way to go because you don’t always need to be scary. It’s a nice switch-up from spooky characters to embrace the beautiful season of autumn but also be the life of the party.
27. Pinata Jumpsuit
This pinata women’s Halloween costume has my heart. Can you imagine how insanely creative this will look when you post pics to the gram? I can and I love it.
28. Goddess Costume
Yas, Goddess. I love this one because I’m a huge fan of Greek mythology. You will not only demand attention in this costume but you’ll have so much styling it too.
29. Lilo & Stitch Dress
If kid-friendly is the goal, Stitch is a costume idea that certainly won’t disappoint. It so easy and comfy for a long night of trick-or-treating ahead.
30. Wizard of Oz Dorothy
So cute! Any costume that lets me braid my hair is one that I immediately want to wear. No one will be double-guessing who you are with sweet little Toto by your side.
31. Party Outfit
Although this is another pinata version of the costume above, a dress is sometimes better because you can stay cooler for dancing or if you want a more feminine vibe.
32. Classic Alice Costume
Everyone’s beloved Alice, so innocent and curious. This is such an easy costume to put on and be ready in literally 15 minutes.
33. Skeleton Onesie
This is my kind of Halloween costume for Halloween parties where you and your fellow Mamas are enjoying a spooky movie, red wine, and some delicious treats. It’s so cozy you will probably wear it for months on end.
34. Windbreaker Jumpsuit
Everything about this reminds me of my Mom growing up and I absolutely love it. There are also various color options to choose from too. So vintage!
35. Barbie Costume
It’s been the year of Barbie! I’m indeed a fan but will likely skip the rollerskates for this costume lol. You can also enlist your girls and everyone can choose a different Barbie to be on Halloween party nights.
36. Catsuit
Sexy Mama alert. This one is so fierce and playful for Mamas who love to have a wicked time.
37. Creepy Scarecrow
Ahh! Although you won’t find me wearing this one, it’s such a cool costume. So creepy! My only disclaimer is to make sure you don’t have kids that will run and hide from you because this one is legit scary.
38. Mary Poppins
A Halloween costume that will make Grandma’s proud everywhere. It’s as iconic as iconic can be.
39. Cat Ear Headbands
These cat ears will do the trick if you’re in a time crunch. I love to pair them with a sweatshirt and leggings and use eyeliner to create a cat nose and whiskers on my face. So creative and easy.
These are the best women’s Halloween costumes ideas this year and I hope you have so much fun wearing them, Mama!
