E! Illustration/Getty ImagesUnless you’re a total Halloween fanatic, you’re probably (like me) frantically trying to come up with a last-minute costume or even just a concept to try to DIY something together from your closet.
That’s when Amazon, and the retailer's array of last-minute costume ideas, is truly a gift from heaven. Still, I’m always looking for costumes that I can reuse for normal outfits. I’m talking about a normal pair of jeans here or a pink summer-ready dress there. Bonus points if it’s based on a pop culture moment everyone was talking about this year.
That’s why I’ve compiled some affordable (and stylish) pieces from Amazon that would make an excellent and easy costume, no matter how last-minute it is!
Keep scrolling to shop if you want to dress up like your favorite Wicked characters, a Bratz doll, a famous red haired Midwest princess, a vampire from Sinners, and your favorite Sanrio character.
Glinda and Elphaba
Wicked: For Good is right around the corner, and I’m sure you’ll see plenty of Glindas and Elphabas walking around on Halloween being besties. Join the party as our favorite ditzy and sweet princess in pink or the brave and passionate Elphaba in green, witchy hat and all.
Womens Square Neck Mini Dress Bodycon Dresses
This pink babydoll number with lace detailing and a corset-style waist is perfect for Halloween and would also double as a cute sun dress.
Feltent Store Tiaras and Crowns for Women
This adult-size tiara is a royal addition to any Glinda costume, and it comes in three beautiful colors: rose gold, yellow gold, and silver.
Wicked Glinda's Bubble Wand
The one thing you do need for a perfect Glinda costume (if nothing else) is a flawless replica of her bubble wand as seen in the films.
Witch Costume Black Dress
While you can opt for a black mid-length dress with long sleeves from your closet for Elphaba, why not go for the perfect dress that comes in a set with her glasses, hat, and everything else for just $50?
Wismee Green Face Paint Stick
Obviously, Elphaba needs to be green! So, of course, we’d recommend this oil-based face and body paint stick that’s the exact perfect shade of green that’s easy to apply and remove.
Bratz Rock Angel
If you’ve got a passion for fashion and the Y2K style to prove it, a Bratz costume is a no-brainer. There’s so many Bratz collections to choose from to base your outfit on—from Winter Wonderland to Diamondz. Yet, there’s something about Rock Angelz that just hits different. Whether you were obsessed with the soundtrack or you played the video game on the Gamecube 24/7 (like me), no one can deny the rock-and-roll Y2K style with the Bratz attitude is superior.
Avidlove Crop Top Shirt Blouse
This fishnet, long-sleeve ultra-crop top in the dark red shade is the ultimate addition to a Bratz Rock Angelz outfit.
Bell Bottom Jeans Flare Jeans Denim Pants
While classic Y2K jeans tend to be low-waisted styles, there’s something special about a pair of high-waist flare jeans! Plus, the butterflies all over? Obsessed.
SOLY HUX Graphic Tees Crop Top T Shirt
Any of these baby-tees perfectly captures the Bratz vibe, but this air-brushed one with the word Angel on it and red hearts just screams Rock Angelz.
moonsix Newsboy Hat
Whether you’re dressing as a Bratz or you’re going for a Lizzy McGuire vibe, this cutie leather-style Newsboy hat captures it all.
Midwest Pop Star
The past two years have been absolutely dominated by a certain Midwest princess pop star. I’m sure you’ll see plenty of fans recreating her looks, but lucky for us, there’s plenty to choose from. You can opt to rewear your Renaissance Faire knight armor or buy a quick-and-easy recreation of the singer’s iconic pink outfit, along with her signature red locks.
IMEKIS Women Sparkle Stars Fringes Bodysuit
This sparkly metallic pink bodysuit, featuring stars and fringe, will make you feel like a super star.
Skeleteen Pink Cowboy Hat
Top off your Halloween look with a pink cowboy hat. There’s plenty of them to choose from on Amazon, but this one has over a thousand reviews!
yuehong Womens Long Curly Orange Wig
Go all the way with a curly red-headed wig that’s high-temperature-resistant and soft.
1930s Vampire
You can never go wrong with a vampire look! It’s a classic for a reason. While you can play it lazy and buy the fangs and throw on something from your closet for a modern vampire “costume” (we’re not judging), you could also focus on a recent pop culture vampire moment with this year’s blockbuster hit Sinners.
Scarecrow Small Deluxe Custom Fangs
These deluxe reusable fangs with glue included are noticeable, but subtle for a natural (less campy) vampire look! With 11,000 reviews, these are definitely the people’s fangs of choice.
ASHER FASHION Satin Nightgown
While you can get the officially licensed costume on Amazon, we’d recommend getting a similar slip or nightgown. This one captures the vibe perfectly, but you can still work it into future costumes or outfit choices.
Kuromi
An easy (and still cute) costume is any of the cute characters from Sanrio. Depending on your closet, you can opt for your favorite alongside that characters’ headband. Lots of pink? My Melody. Pastel blue? Go for Cinnamoroll. And yet, everyone’s favorite baddie is Kuromi. Everyone’s got a black mini dress, or you can buy an adorable black lolita style dress to arrive ASAP.
POYIPI Cute Plush Ears Headband for Halloween Cosplay
This plush headband recreates Kuromi’s ears and bow perfectly, making it the easiest accessory for a last-minute Halloween costume.
Womens Classic Black Layered Lace-up Goth Lolita Dress
While you can pair anything black from your closet with the headband to make a Kuromi costume, if you’d like it to be a flawless recreation, we’d recommend a Lolita-style dress—and this one with over 2,000 reviews is an Amazon favorite.
