  • 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.

Eleven From Stranger Things

  • 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.
5 / 33

Erica Sinclair From Stranger Things

  • 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.
6 / 33

Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper From Stranger Things

  • 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.
7 / 33

Dr. Alexei From Stranger Things

  • 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!"
8 / 33

Agent H and Agent M From Men in Black: International

  • 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!

Elton John From Rocketman

  • 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: 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!

Jean Grey From X-Men: Dark Phoenix

  • 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!
