Stand out with your Halloween costume! Eye-catching cosplay ideas even for first-timers (51–60)
Girl Dracula
When it comes to Halloween costumes, lots of people picture monsters! For those who want to cosplay a slightly more human-like monster—Dracula—this site is highly recommended.
Just browsing it is fun, and you’ll find tons of cute girl Draculas.
Each one features a different style of cosplay and they’re all incredibly cute, so if you’re thinking, “This year I want to be Dracula!” why not use it as inspiration for your costume and makeup?
yōko (bewitching fox; fox spirit)
When it comes to yokai that are, in a sense, mainstream and appear in various anime, the “yoko” (fox spirit) comes to mind.
If you haven’t decided on a Halloween costume yet, why not try dressing up as a yoko? Since it’s a fox yokai, fox ears are a must for the costume, but there’s no fixed style for the outfit or makeup, so you can transform into whatever kind of yoko you like.
You can even just throw on a fox mask for a quick fix.
Give it a try!
little devil; coquette
If you’re a woman thinking, “I want a cute, Halloween-style costume!” we recommend a little devil cosplay! Take a classic devil outfit—perfect for Halloween—and give it a cute yet sexy little-devil twist.
Focus on accessories like a horn headband, a trident with three prongs, and wings for your back.
There are many outfit options, from short-length one-piece styles to tight dress-like designs, so choose the one that suits you best!
shrine maiden
Ladies, how about a miko (shrine maiden) cosplay? Miko are often seen as sacred figures, and many women have probably admired them at least once.
Because the outfit’s distinctive red and white colors are the key, you can easily dress up using store-bought costumes without having to make your own.
You can go for cute makeup, or aim for a spooky Halloween vibe.
Adding animal ears might be adorable, too!

dinosaur
For boys, there’s always a time when the “dinosaur boom” hits, right? This is a “dinosaur cosplay” for those who absolutely love dinosaurs and even want to become one! You can find costumes online, ranging from cute, kid-friendly dinosaurs to fully realistic outfits that look just like the real thing from behind.
It’s a costume that people of a wide range of ages can enjoy.
For children’s sizes, you could probably make one by hand, too!
Japanese doll zombie
This costume is a Japanese doll zombie.
Japanese dolls are cute, but they’re also famous as a classic source of creepy phenomena—like old dolls whose hair keeps growing or that shed bloody tears.
Dress the doll in a kimono with a bobbed haircut.
Try to make the makeup resemble that of a traditional Japanese doll.
Since it’s a doll, aim for jerky, mechanical movements.
Suddenly changing direction or moving toward the audience is sure to draw screams.
Give it a try!
White Gothic Zombie
When it comes to Halloween characters, we tend to associate them with dark color schemes, especially black.
This zombie flips that dark Halloween image on its head with a gothic costume based on white.
By building the outfit and hair around a white palette and unifying the overall look, it creates an eerie sensation, like an anomaly that has appeared in the world.
Precisely because the overall tones are light, you should use strong colors in the makeup around the eyes and mouth to heighten the unsettling atmosphere through a striking contrast in color.
