HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR BEST FRIENDS
1. Cowgirls
Cowgirl costumes will never get old. I love the way these girls did their cowgirl costumes by adding the pink, extra girly elements, and cow print skirts!
I found the perfect cow print skirt on Amazon if you’re looking to recreate this look with your best friends. Plus, you can get a pink fluffy crop top and pink or straw cowboy hat on Amazon as well.
Plus, makeup is the cherry on top to these costumes. You can style your makeup however you want to either make this costume dressier or more understated!
2. Wicked Costume
With the new Wicked movie coming on, I couldn’t NOT include a beautiful Wicked costume idea! These Wicked costumes are SO CUTE!
You can get similar dresses and accessories on Amazon and easily recreate these costumes.
3. Joker
Another extremely ICONIC movie that is coming out/came out (depending on when you are reading this ;)) is the new Joker movie!
What’s more trendy and iconic than being the Joker for Halloween 2024?!
4. Mermaids
These mermaid Halloween costumes are the best Halloween costumes for best friends if you want to match perfectly (and look gorgeous while doing it).
The main thing you need to recreate this look is the mermaid scales fabric, which you can get on Amazon! Then, you can accessorize with a starfish hair clip like this and some face/body glitter.
5. Space Cowgirls
Space cowgirl outfits are SO fun! With a metallic body suit, LED cowboy hat, and a pink tassel body harness, you and your best friend will KILL this outfit.
6. Aliens
These alien costumes are great if you want fun and sexy Halloween costumes with your best friend!
All you really need is an alien headband like this one from Amazon, a pretty pink bodysuit (this one also comes in different colors if pink isn’t really your thing), and this gorgeous sequin skirt.
7. Shark Attack
Dressing up as a shark attack for Halloween is extremely fun!
Mainly because you can play with your makeup and try to create fake wounds, as well as wear these cute shark attack bodysuits that are great for adding some gore without getting too intense.
I found this awesome shark bodysuit on Amazon, which you can pair with a short gray mini skirt, and add some fake blood to recreate this costume perfectly.
8. Butterflies
These butterfly costumes are so pretty and flattering. You can get a butterfly crop top just like the ones in this photo on Amazon!
It even comes in several different colors so you can choose what vibe suits you best. You can pair this with a pretty blue sequined skirt.
These sequin skirts also come in several colors so you can match the top you chose.
Then, finish off your look with some butterfly hair clips and the makeup of your choice!
9. Litttle Red Riding Hood & The Wolf
If you want one of those costumes that everyone will be able to understand, Little Red Riding Hood & the wolf are a classic one duo costume. These girls did such a great job of turning this fairytale into beautiful costumes!!
I found almost all the accessories you need to recreate this look, from the black corset to the red cape to the wolf ears and more.
You and your best friend will love looking back on the memories of this costume!

13. Ratatouille & chef
Here’s another idea for a Halloween costume that everyone will recognize, but you can still dress it up and make it your own!

The other bestie can grab a chef hat, a chef jacket, and a fake mustache, and you’ve got yourselves adorable costumes!!

As New York being one of my favorite cities in the world, I couldn’t not include a Statue of Liberty & tourist costume!

As someone who grew up on Shrek, I had to share this Gingerbread man and Lord Farquaad costume!
If you and your bestie love Shrek as well, this costume idea is perfect for you!
You can get this cute little two-piece for the Gingerbread Man, and this pretty red dress and cape set for Lord Farquaad.
So adorable!!
35. Sun & Moon
I LOVE this sun & moon costume! It is such a pretty option, which is also based on opposites like we talked about.
For the sun, all you are going to need is a cute gold top & gold sequins skirt, as well as a pretty sun crown.
The same goes for the moon – a cute silver top & a silver sequin skirt and a beautiful moon halo crown.
36. Hannah Montana & Dolly Parton
Anyone who grew up watching Hannah Montana will immediately recognize this duo.
It’s surprisingly easy to find the perfect Hannah Montana wig and logo shirt. Pair that with a sequined skirt and get your friend a Dolly Parton wig & outfit, and you’ll be immediately recognizable!
