The only thing we are scared of this Halloween is not having the most creative costume of 2019, which is why we're already brainstorming ideas! From totally relevant TV show and movie character costumes — so many DIY Stranger Things costume ideas — to some of the most clever and cool costumes yet, this list covers all the costume bases. Whether you want to take this Halloween to the next level or just keep it creepy, there's a bone-chillingly perfect idea for anyone here.
Check out 2019's best costumes ahead, but beware: these will have you wishing it was October already, they are just that good.
What to wear: A lilac bob with shaggy fringe and a white crop top will do the trick for this Ashley O costume. Channel your inner superstar to make this look really come to life.
What to wear: Give your Joker costume a 2019 twist with a look inspired by the Joaquin Phoenix film out later this year. It's all about the face paint, so be sure to load it on. Finish off this look with a dashing red blazer, and "Smile, because it confuses people."
What to wear: To be the most powerful superhero ever, you'll need the iconic blue and red outfit as well as some insane superpowers. Lightly curl your hair and pair this outfit with red knee-high boots.
What to wear for Dustin: Dustin's yellow and green baseball hat is a pretty iconic staple, so make sure to find one that replicates it to the best of your ability. Once that's done, pick up a curly brown wig, an old-school camp t-shirt or graphic tee, and jeans. Also consider getting something to make it look like you're missing your front teeth.
What to wear for Robin: Unless you want to be a total dingus, then you should definitely dress up as Robin from Stranger Things. Her Scoops Ahoy outfit is the most notable, so we advise wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt with a navy vest and white collar on top.
What to wear for Steve: You'll need Steve's iconic Scoops Ahoy outfit, luscious brown hair, and probably a sexy stare, too. You can also add an ice cream scooper to finish off your look.
What to wear for Eleven: There are a few versions of Eleven you could be (Government Prisoner Elle, Hamburger-Eating Elle, Eggo-Stealing Elle, etc.), but let's stick with the newest. A quirky patterned playsuit is the way to go. Complete your costume with a little blood coming from your nose and maybe add some Eggos, too.
What to wear: The low-key star of the third season of Stranger Things, dressing up as Erica Sinclair should be on your costume list. A yellow tee, overalls, and a judgemental 'tude is all you need.
What to wear for Joyce: You can easily pull off this look with a red t-shirt, jeans, and a checked shirt tied around your waist. Don't forget to carry some magnets around.
What to wear for Hopper: Two words for you: Hawaiian shirt.
What to wear: Sweet, sweet Alexei. Dress as the lovable Russian scientist with a white button-up shirt, khakis, glasses, and some important props: a road runner stuffed animal, handcuffs, and, of course, a cherry Slurpee. Go around yelling, "It's not rigged! It's not rigged!"
What to wear: A bold suit, sunglasses, and over-the-top courage will turn you into an agent from Men in Black: International. Now get out there and save the day!
What to wear: TBH, the crazier the outfit, the better. If you really want to dress up like the legend himself, you'll need an outfit that is complete with colours and designs of all kinds. If you're really feeling wild, you can copy his devil outfit and go all out with feathers, flames, and sparkle, so much sparkle.
What to wear: Think red, white, and blue if you're feeling like being Forky. You'll want to wear an all-white getup with red sleeves and perhaps blue lipstick. Creativity is key here.
What to wear: To infinity and beyond! We hate to tell you this, but you'll really need the whole costume to make this one realistic. Once you're in uniform, you can shoot for the stars!
What to wear: Giddy-up, partner! Get in the Toy Story 4 spirit by dressing up as everyone's favourite sheriff. You'll have to snag a yellow shirt, cowhide waistcoat, blue jeans, and a big ol' cowboy hat.
What to wear: A classic and beloved character, Bo Peep is one of the cutest costumes out there. You'll need a baby blue jumpsuit with a violet shawl and big pink bow. Don't forget your shepherd's crook!
What to wear: A smart suit with a white shirt and some fake blood are the only components you need to complete your John Wick outfit. If you have shoulder-length hair and facial hair (real or faux), this costume will really come together.
What to wear: If you want to really scare people this Halloween, find a red jumpsuit, and get to it! Just beware, dressing up as the Tethered will bring out the worst in you.
What to wear: You'll want the finest jewels and tiaras in all the land for this Jasmine costume inspired by the 2019 live-action reboot. Brightly coloured dresses, glittering accessories, and a desire for endless adventure will turn you into this timeless princess. Don't forget Rajah!
What to wear: Commoner clothes with big dreams and a genie lamp are all you need to be this Aladdin character from the the 2019 live-action reboot. Complete this costume with a red waistcoat over a loose-fitting t-shirt, and get ready to be taken to a whole new world.
What to wear: Big and blue is the motto of this costume inspired by Genie in the 2019 live-action reboot of Aladdin. You'll want to paint your body with blue paint, accessorise to the max, and put your hair in a high plait on the top of your head. Now go make wishes come true!
What to wear: Be the baddest (and punniest) of them all this Halloween when you dress up as this mashup Scarface character. Combining elements from Scar in The Lion King and the 1980s mobster movie Scarface, you can't go wrong here. Paint your face orange, let your long hair flow, and don't forget the scar!
What to wear: The Jean Grey look can go one of two ways. You can be the cool, calm, and collected Jean in a navy blue cardigan and black jeans or you can go world-saving mode and turn into the powerful Phoenix by wearing her iconic blue and yellow 'fit. Take your pick!
What to wear for Tim: To pull off the true Tim Goodman style, you will need a black leather jacket and a white tee with the iconic design. Now get out there and help save the day!
What to wear for Lucy: A red hoodie with black jeans and a pulled-back ponytail are the essentials for this Detective Pikachu costume. A wispy fringe and a determined 'tude will get you all the way.
What to wear: You'll want to find all the yellow clothing you can for this costume. Paint your cheeks with nice red dots and top it off with your favourite detective hat.
What to wear for Moira: Eccentric and over-the-top, if you want to be Moira Rose, you need to go big or go home. Find the most ex-soap-star outfit you can, we are talking feathered dresses, high-collar shirts and tight skirts, then pair that with chunky jewellery, and put on all the red lipstick you can. Prepare to make an entrance.
What to wear for Johnny: Pronounced eyebrows, a nice suit, and high hopes will turn you into the iconic Johnny Rose from Schitt's Creek. He is a man of principles and morals, so don't leave those behind.
What to wear for Alexis: Spoiled yet super stylish, dressing up as Alexis Rose will consist of wearing a head-turning hat, chunky accessories, and a cute outfit. Finish off the look with effortlessly curled locks, and you're ready to be a Schitt Creek socialite.
What to wear for David: A printed sweater, preferably with stripes, will do the trick here. Make sure none of your hair (eyebrows included) is out of place, and get ready to run the town.
What to wear: A red leotard or jumpsuit with gold details and an eye-catching cape will make you bulletproof in no time. It might be easier to buy the costume online, but if you are feeling crafty, start sewing now!
What to wear: Good news! You can dress like Fleabag without looking a fleabag! Her famous jumpsuit, red lipstick, and a cigarette is all your need. Have a partner in crime? Have them dress up like the hot priest in season two!
