Napoleon from “Napoleon Dynamite”
This nostalgic film from 2004 is nothing short of… well I still haven’t figured out the point of the movie. Nonetheless, it is a movie whose quotes and quirky characters live on forever.
Actresses Camila Medes and Lili Reinhart dress up as this famous duo from the movie!
The best part about this costume is that if you have a friend, they can be Pedro and you can be the ultimate duo. The costumes for both characters are pretty simple. You can find a premade “Vote for Pedro” shirt on Amazon or even Walmart.com.
Costume components:
- Jeans – I hope you already own a pair of jeans, but if you want more of a vintage look, I suggest a thrift store.
- “Vote for Pedro” shirt – $14.89 on Amazon
- Wig and glasses kit – $21.95 on Amazon
Boo from Monster’s Inc
This costume is fun because it is extremely simple and you can use it as a last-minute Halloween costume!
Costume components:
- Pink t-shirt – If you don’t already have one, you can get a pink t-shirt from Walmart for $3.98
- Purple leggings – You can find a pair of purple leggings at your local Walmart or TjMaxx or you can order some on Amazon for $4.99
- White sneakers or white socks – If you don’t have white sneakers, honestly, you can wear any type of sneakers. People will get the idea if you have the shirt, leggings, and pigtails.
Sandy from Grease
Sandy from Grease is an iconic Halloween costume. Some might say it’s overdone, but I say it’s classic and chic.
This costume can be as simple or as intricate as you want it. You can stick to the detail of her costume right down to the gold hoops and red-lined leather jacket.
Costume components:
- Black shirt – For the black 0ff-the-shoulder shirt, you can simply use a black t-shirt like the girl on the left. You can even use a tank top, tube-top… it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s black and tight.
- Black leather pants – You can use black leggings or black skinny jeans instead of black leather pants if you don’t have any.
- Heels – If you don’t have red heels, a pair of black heels will do. You can also have some fun and wear red converse instead.
- Black leather jacket – If you don’t have a black leather jacket and don’t want to get one, don’t worry about it, it’s not essential to the costume.
- Black belt – Any black belt out of your closet will work just fine!
