A Care Bear is not only a cute costume, but a comfy one too. Simply dress in one color and tape or draw on a belly.

@rominachiodi1couples costumes❤️‍🔥##yourestayingyouregone ##halloweencostumes ##couplecostumes ##couplecostumeideas ##halloweeninspo ##halloween2021 ##couplecostumeideas♬ original sound – user8875492597540

If you’re looking to heat up the party, Rominachiodi1 has the costumes for you. Admittedly, these couples costumes are a little basic, but nevertheless classic and cute.

Phineas and Ferb

@glutenfreebtchPHINEAS & FERB #fyp #foryou #brotherlove♬ FOLLOW ME sarahk1m – Sarah Kim

Get out your construction paper and start making the heads. Phineas and Ferb are not only iconic but have a whole theme song to match. We suggest learning a dance and bringing along a speaker to have a fun party move.

Despicable Me

@tsunamy_#fyp #minion #minions #gru #halloween #meangirls♬ FOLLOW ME sarahk1m – Sarah Kim

Whether you’re one person or a crowd of 200, this costume works for all. Have one person dress up as Gru while the others are his minions, or join forces and have all your friends dress up as minions.

Shrek

@oheyitsamandaok the last one is my favorite ##halloweencostumes2021 ##halloweencostumeideas ##shrekhalloween ##fairygodmothershrek ##gingyshrek ##lordfarquaad ##amazonhalloweencostume ##trendyhalloweencostumes♬ calling all the mOnstErs – aubs

There’s nothing more iconic than Shrek the Movie. Rather than dressing up like the green ogre, try your hand at the supporting characters — we all know that a Lord Farquad would be the life of the party.

Twiggy

@sabrinaforscuttDay 15/31 Halloween Costumes: Twiggy ##halloweenlook ##halloween2021 ##halloweencostume ##halloweencostumeideas ##costumedesigner ##wardrobestylist ##halloweencostumes2021 ##halloween ##halloweenishere ##31daysofhalloween ##diyhalloweencostumes ##spookyseason ##halloweenfashion ##fashionablehalloweencostumes ##costumeinspo ##MakeItCinematic ##IKnowWhatYouDid ##TreatiestCupContest ##twiggy ##60sfashion ##60s ##twiggyeyeliner ##twiggylook ##supermodel ##60smodel♬ Be My Baby – The Ronettes

Sure, your mom may be the only one to tell you that your lashes look like Twiggy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an awesome costume to reproduce. Get on your best ’70s attire and layer on that mascara.

Slinky Dog

@reidogggwe’re ALL slinky dog #fyp #wap #halloween♬ phantom of the wapera – shannon huhn

If you’ve got a tight-knit group of friends, make sure that you stay together throughout the night with this slinky dog costume. All it takes is construction paper, brown shirts, and coils.

Squid Games

@officialtyradDIY Squid Games costumes on my YT🚦 ##squidgames ##squidgame ##redlightgreenlight ##halloweencostumes2021 ##hallowen2021 ##squidgameoutfit ##diy♬ red light green light x money – jovynn

Of course, it wouldn’t be a 2021 list without Squid Games characters. What people often forget, though, is that there’s more to the game than the players and workers.

Best friends costumes

@christmasmagicvidesthere you go guys go part 2 is here ##halloweencostumes2021♬ Halloween – KenZie DarkStar

Grab your bestie and dress up like Spongebob and Patrick, celestial princesses, M&Ms, and more. This TikTok had so much inspiration packed into a 49-second video.

Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompas 

@sophiewagz2A night out of the factory.. #fyp #foryoupage #whereischarlie #meangirls #halloween #oompaloompa #chocolate @theresadennison @nicoleforlenza2♬ FOLLOW ME sarahk1m – Sarah Kim

With Timothee Chalamet recently teasing Wonka, this costume is on trend. Figure out who’s the best Willy Wonka and have the rest of your friends become Oompa Loompas.

Ideas for those with blue hair 

@whamalamapingpongReply to @rorodawg ##greenscreen ##halloweencostumes2021 ##bluehair♬ original sound – user696969

Is this category a little niche? Yes. If you’re drawn to one of these costumes, though, why not just buy a blue wig or let them have a little pizazz with your natural hair color.
