[Halloween Costumes] Kids’ outfits: Latest and classic costume ideas (21–30)
Frankenstein
For an advanced-level costume, Frankenstein is a great choice! The stitched-up face makeup is fairly challenging, so it’s very rewarding.
For the outfit, tattered fabric or dark-colored clothing works best.
Since it’s a slightly scary character, it’s more suitable for older kids.
You’ll paint the skin gray and use gel to create a stitched look, so it’s a costume kids can enjoy making like a craft!
police
“Police” costumes have been on the rise in recent years as a Halloween outfit, haven’t they? Maybe it’s because they go well with Halloween-style makeup.
That said, since we’re talking about a child’s costume this time, there’s no need to overthink it—if it looks police-like, that’s OK! Embrace plenty of childlike charm and try creating an adorable little police officer.

Wonder Rabbit Girl
This is a cute bunny costume for girls! It’s easy to get as an outfit and also simple to customize in an adorable way.
Preparing matching sets for parent and child would draw attention and be lots of fun! You can use it for events beyond Halloween, so it’s very versatile.
If you also do a proper face makeup look, it will give an even more sparkly impression!
fairy
You might think that soft, fluffy-looking fairies aren’t really suited for Halloween.
But in recent years, Halloween has come to value not only scary elements, but also “cute” and “fun” ones, so fairy costumes are actually a great choice.
If the word “fairy” doesn’t give you a clear picture, you might imagine Tinker Bell.
Tinker Bell wears a soft green outfit, but styling it all in girlish pink would be adorable too.
little devil; coquette
When you think of a “little devil,” isn’t it one of the most popular Halloween costumes? Devils usually have a scary image, but when a girl wears it as a costume, it turns into a cute cosplay.
These days you can buy handy items, so go ahead and transform yourself easily and adorably and enjoy Halloween!
Western-style doll
A perfect recommendation for girls who love fashion is the “Western-style doll” look! Gothic white or black one-piece dresses are classic colors that are super easy to coordinate.
Make your skin paler and use false eyelashes to highlight that doll-like vibe even more.
For Halloween, adding special-effects wound makeup works too! From choosing the dress to doing the makeup, it’s a costume that moms can enjoy together with their children—perfect for girls.
Shinobu Kocho
If you’re going to dress up as a character from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, I think Tanjiro is the most popular choice for boys, but for girls, instead of Nezuko, Shinobu Kocho is also highly recommended! She appears a lot in the anime with an important role looking after Tanjiro and the others, so there must be plenty of girls who like Shinobu.
Speaking of Shinobu’s trademark, it’s her beautiful haori with a blue-to-pink gradient, right? When she spreads her arms, the outfit looks just like a butterfly—something any girl would love! And if you style the hair like Shinobu’s and add her hair ornament, it’s perfect!
