5 Fun Halloween Costumes to do with Your Best Friends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Purdue chapter.

1. Donna and the Dynamos

If you and your girls are lovers of musicals and women who exude female power, Donna and the Dynamos is the way to go. Hit up a consignment store, grab some colorful bell bottom pants, go-go boots, a metallic crop top and you’re ready to go! All you need to do after that is learn some iconic Abba songs, and you’ll be the dancing queens!

2. The Pink Ladies

If you’ve ever seen the movie Grease, then you know who the pink ladies are. This costume idea is super easy and a fun way to go back in time. All you need are some black leggings or leather pants, a black tank top, black heals, and a pink jacket with “Pink Ladies” embroidered on the back.

3. Skeletons

If you and your friends are artistic or love to play around with makeup, this idea is perfect for you guys. Depending on how fancy you want to get with this costume, all you’ll really need are black clothes, and black and white theatre makeup. Then, just watch some skeleton makeup videos on YouTube and have fun!

4. Heathers

For a group of friends that love drama, this is the perfect costume for Halloween. The girls from the movie, Heathers, embody the style of classic 80s with a dark twist. To channel the energy of these girls you’ll need: a plaid skirt, over-sized blazers with shoulder pads, and big, luxurious hair.

5. Spice Girls

The final costume idea is, the Spice Girls! With all the different personalities in this girl band, there is surely a fit for everyone. Pick your favorite Spice Girl and choose one of their iconic outfits to copy! If you and your girls want to take it a step further, you could even learn some of their choreography to their famous song, Wannabe!
