Party Animal
@friendofafriendclub One of me is cute but 6 tho? #bffs #halloween #partyanimals #groupcostumeideas #friendship #fall #greenscreenvideo ♬ Juno – Sabrina Carpenter
In a year that saw everyone wearing some form of animal print, this costume is incredibly simple to put together but also quite unique!
All you need is some form of clothing with animal print. It can be a dress, jeans, a top or whatever animal print you have lying around. Finally, all you need to buy is some party hats which can be found in nearly every shop for next to nothing.
Pop the hat on and that’s it; you are ready to unleash your inner party animal!

Flight attendant
@tiahrubala Idk if your office dresses up for Halloween, but a flight attendant costume would be great if you need a work appropriate fit✈️❤️#halloween #tiktokhalloween #lastminutehalloween #flightattendant #flightattendanttraining ♬ Sound by ajwavy – John | Travel Creator
A flight attendant is such a fun way to dress up for Halloween if you want something that is not spooky and scary.
All the outfit needs is a black or navy skirt, a matching blazer, a white shirt and a colourful neck scarf. If you have access to a home printer, you can print off some flight wings and stick them on, bringing to whole look together.
It’s cute, fun, and if you are like us and have always dreamed of the glamorous jet-setting life, this costume is perfect for you!
Zombie

An all-time Halloween classic and an ideal costume if you are looking to go down the spookier route this Halloween.
To create this look, grab an old shirt or top and a pair of old trousers and with a scissors, cut them up – the more distressed the better. This look can be a good chance to get experimental and crazy with makeup.
Create some hollow jaw lines and dark eye circles along some cuts with very simple special effects makeup. Have your hair whatever way you like, but be sure to keep it as messy as possible to really embody the full Zombie look.
Paddington Bear
@chasemariee I ♥️ MARMALADE #paddington #halloween ♬ original sound – sikflwr
If you want to be a cute character this year for Halloween, Paddington is the perfect costume, after all, he is everyone’s favourite bear.
While this costume might seem like a bit of an effort to put together, it’s quite the opposite! All you need is either a navy top and skirt or a dress, some brown boots and a little button-up jacket.
Paddington is known for his iconic red hat that keeps all his marmalade sandwiches, but if you don’t have a red hat lying around, some red ribbon will do the job. The top off the look, write “take care of this bear” on a tag with some ribbon and wear it as a necklace.
Men in Black
@madisons.16 Bonus cause you get to carry a water 🔫 around all night #halloweencostume #easyhalloweencostume #easycostume #halloween2025 #costumeideas ♬ Men In Black (From “Men In Black” Soundtrack) – Will Smith
I’m sure everyone has seen the Men in Black costume in any last-minute Halloween lookbook, but there is a good reason for it.
It’s so simple and easy to do, and you more than likely have everything you need right in your wardrobe.
With a black skirt or trousers and jacket, a white shirt, a black tie and some sunglasses, the look is complete! If you wanted, you could print off a MIB badge to really show off the full look.
Deer
@paintedbyciara all you need is contour & concealer for this one 🦌 c: @Jenna #easyhalloweenmakeup ♬ original sound – Itz.fall.timee
If you have found yourself accepting an invite to a Halloween party and need the ultimate last-minute costume, this one is for you.
For this deer costume, all you really need is some brown clothes, which can be a t-shirt, skirt, dress whatever you have.
Then just some easy deer makeup, with a nose and a few spots. If you happen to have some ears lying around the house, then pop them on, too, to complete this cute deer costume.
Mummy
@sugaredstilettos easy DIY costume, under $13 🕸️👻#lastminutehalloweencostumes #halloweencostume #mummycostume #diycostume #easycostume #amazoncostumes #halloween ♬ HALLOWEEN – Taf30
For this Mummy costume, all you need is an all-white outfit, some white bandages, and some Sellotape.
Once you have your outfit on, start draping and wrapping some bandages around your body and try to cover most of the outfit, even putting some toilet paper around your head.
Once you have the costume as you want it, do some dark eye makeup to give the full “rising from the dead” mummy look.
Sadness from Inside Out
@mckenna.morrell Sadness costume for the win because all my students know Inside Out!!💙😢 #halloween #halloweencostume #halloween2024 #costume #costumeideas #easyhalloweencostume #sadness #insideout #insideout2 #insideoutmovie #insideoutsadness #sadnesscostume #insideoutcostume #teacherhalloweencostume #october31 ♬ Sadness Inside Out – Beautygurumo
Being any of the characters from Pixar’s Inside Out would be a super easy group costume, with most of the characters all having a distinct and easy outfit to copy.
However, if you are going for a more low-key look this Halloween, Sadness is the perfect character to copy.
With some blue jeans, a white jumper, glasses, and some blue ribbon, the full costume is complete with no fuss needed!
