They say blondes have more fun, and if it's any indication from the amount of fun Halloween costumes you can pull off with lighter locks, "they" might just be right. Halloween is a holiday where wigs, makeup and accessories can transform you into anyone you want. But for blondes out there who want to use what they have to pull off an awesome look, we've pulled together blonde Halloween costumes based on popular blonde singers, celebrities, TV and movie characters and more. That said, even if you're not a natural blonde, you can easily use a wig to recreate the look.
Go classic with an all-pink Elle Woods Legally Blonde moment or Regina George-inspired outfit a la Mean Girls. Celebrate your favorite blonde popstars all the way back to Madonna's stylish '80s and '90s days up to Taylor Swift's Eras-inspired costume. Celebrate your favorite cartoon and video game characters like Zelda or Sailor Moon which are always easily recognizable. Whether you're looking for an iconic pop culture costume (Michelle Pfeiffer's energy as Elvira Hancock in Scarface is hard to match) or a more popular outfit — like Elsa or Tinkerbell — we've got ideas that will have you absolutely golden when it comes to any costume contest or trick-or-treat experience.
