Elsa
When it comes to popular costumes for girls, Elsa means that iconic blue dress from Frozen.
The sparkling snowflake design is sure to make any child’s eyes light up.
If you transform into Elsa, you might just become the star of the Halloween party! Slipping into a long gown and becoming Elsa for a moment will surely make a special memory.
How about enjoying Halloween while singing Let It Go with your friends? With Elsa’s magic, let’s make everyone’s hearts sparkle, too!
Nezuko
Nezuko, the younger sister of Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of the popular anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, is also a beloved character.
Although Nezuko isn’t a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and doesn’t wear the checkered uniform, her obi actually features a checkered pattern—perhaps a sign that, despite differences in status and role, their hearts remain connected.
The pattern on Nezuko’s kimono is the hemp leaf motif.
Since the Edo period, the hemp leaf pattern has reportedly been used on children’s kimonos as a charm to ward off evil and misfortune.
Rewatching the anime with this bit of knowledge makes it all the more moving.
As a popular character, there are many different cosplay costumes available for her.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
Kiki’s costume from Kiki’s Delivery Service is so cute, isn’t it? A black dress, a red ribbon, and a headband are all you need.
Make the ribbon out of felt and attach it to the headband—done! It seems like the teachers could enjoy making the costumes together, too.
When the kids get into character as Kiki, it’ll really boost the Halloween vibe.
Add props like a magic broom to make it even more authentic! Have fun together and make wonderful Halloween memories.

prisoner
When it comes to unique Halloween-themed costumes, the classic prisoner is a standout.
As the name suggests, it’s a costume inspired by someone who’s been captured, featuring a striking black-and-white striped shirt with an inmate number.
It fits perfectly with the Halloween setting, where spooky characters like ghosts and Frankenstein take center stage.

Collaborate with other Halloween characters, strike some fun poses, and enjoy the festivities!
Snow White
When it comes to popular Halloween costumes for girls, Disney Princess Snow White is definitely a top choice! The adorable red ribbon on her black hair, the blue and yellow dress, and the white apron—the combination is just perfect.
When your child wears this outfit, it’s like she’s stepped right out of a fairy tale, and you might find yourself blurting out, “So cute!” Coordinating parent–child outfits or picking out accessories together will make for wonderful memories, too.
She’s sure to be the center of attention at any Halloween party.

If you’re a girl who admires long hair, then yes—Rapunzel.
With a purple dress and a long blonde wig, you can capture Rapunzel’s look, so it might be a relatively easy cosplay.
And of course, don’t forget the floral hair accessories!
Wonder Rabbit Girl
Alice in Wonderland is something everyone has seen at least once in anime or picture books.
It might be the first true fantasy story children encounter.
Beyond the charm of the narrative itself, the diverse cast of characters is irresistibly appealing—from the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter to the playing-card soldiers.
Among them, the one girls most want to imitate might be the Wonder Rabbit Girl, which perfectly fits the image of Alice in Wonderland.
A white fluffy dress with heart appliqué and a headband with rabbit ears make for an irresistibly cute look.
