[Halloween] Recommended Costumes for Girls · Popular Outfits (1–10)
Princess
Princess cosplay adds a splash of glamour to the once-a-year Halloween stage.
Outfits featuring dazzling, beautiful dresses—especially Disney Princess-inspired looks—are always popular.
By becoming your favorite character from movies or anime, you can enjoy Halloween events and parties even more.
It’s also great fun to try coordinated group cosplay that matches programs like singing, dancing, or theater for a unified feel.
While Halloween often brings to mind horror and the occult, we also recommend becoming a bright, cheerful character that puts you in a happy mood.
Minnie Mouse
During the Halloween season, Minnie Mouse costumes are hugely popular among girls.
That adorable look is sure to make everyone around them fall in love! They’re perfect not only for kindergarten and daycare events, but also for family and friends’ parties.
Choosing a dress and ear headband with your child and planning the outfit together can be a lot of fun.
You could even add some handmade touches to create a one-of-a-kind Minnie.
Costumes can bring families and friends closer, too.
Wishing everyone a Halloween full of wonderful memories!
fairy
You might think that a soft, airy image of a fairy isn’t suitable for Halloween.
However, in recent years Halloween has been about more than just being scary—people also look for elements like “cute” and “funny,” so a fairy costume is actually a great choice.
If “fairy” doesn’t give you a clear picture, it might help to imagine Tinker Bell from Disney.
Tinker Bell wears a soft green outfit, but going with a girly pink theme would be adorable as well.
Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood is a popular costume for everyone from toddlers to adult women.
It’s based on the girl from the famous fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood,” and is characterized by the red hood worn on the head.
The dress worn underneath is typically red and white, often with a black corset around the waist, though there are many different designs.
That’s why children can wear a cute dress, while adult women can choose a slightly more alluring style to express their individuality.
Little Red Riding Hood is adorable yet has a subtly mysterious charm, making it a cosplay that never goes out of style.
black cat
When it comes to popular partners for witches on Halloween night, the black cat is a classic.
This costume is packed with the cool, cute charm of cats, making it perfect for Halloween-themed parties and events.
Create the components in black, such as bloomers with a tail and palms that show paw pads.
Using felt fabric is recommended to recreate a cat’s fluffy fur.
Once you put on a headband with cat ears, the adorable cosplay is complete! Ask the kids to strike a pose, or try dressing up as a parent-child pair—it’ll make a great memory.
pumpkin
When you think of Halloween, you think of pumpkins, right? Here are some costume ideas you can enjoy with kids.
Cut cardboard into a pumpkin shape, draw a face on it, and wear orange clothes—voila, you’re a pumpkin in no time! It’s simple, yet super cute.
Top it off with a green hat and add decorations to look like vines for an extra touch.
If everyone makes their own, each pumpkin will have its own personality, and you’ll create fun memories together.
Let’s turn into a pumpkin patch with friends and family!
Anya
Anya, a popular character from the anime SPY×FAMILY.
She’s portrayed as a cheerful and energetic child, making her a perfect inspiration for kids’ Halloween costumes.
To create a cosplay of the school uniform Anya wears, use black fabric, fabric with gold patterns, felt, buttons, and zippers.
You can also use leftover fabric to make hair accessories or add a red ribbon to make the outfit even cuter.
It’s a simple yet glamorous and cute costume—have fun this Halloween!
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.
