The great thing about Halloween costumes is that they can be as simple or as elaborate as you want them to be. You can spend weeks DIYing the perfect individual or group Halloween costumes, or just throw your look together quickly with these last-minute Halloween costume ideas. If you want to go the easy route (which is not to say your costume will be any less amazing!), then you should definitely check out our picks for the best Halloween costumes with wigs. Whether you want to dress up as a classic monster like the Bride of Frankenstein and Pennywise or music icons like Cher and Dolly Parton, it all starts with the hair.
With the exception of the wig, which you can easily order online, many of these costumes can be pulled together with items you have at home, then finished with Halloween makeup ideas. Most of them are trendy pop culture costumes, too. Looking to do a DIY Disney Halloween costume this year? Channel your inner villain and go as Cruella de Vil. All you'll need is the iconic black and white wig to pair with the black dress and pearls. Or you could go with a Grease Halloween costume: Beyond the blond wig, dress up as Sandy with an all-black outfit, a little red lipstick, and a lot of attitude.
So, go ahead and browse the Halloween hairstyles and wigs below. No matter who you choose to go as this October, one thing's for sure: Everyone is going to wig out over your costume!
Even more costumes to finish off with wigs:
Coraline
All it takes is a bright blue wig atop a yellow raincoat and rain boots to step into the Other World as Coraline. Add some buttons for an extra creepy touch.
Queen Charlotte from 'Bridgerton'
Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte is known for her opulent gowns and abundance of awe-inspiring wigs! From intricate shapes, like swans and swirls, to colorful locks embellished with diamonds and pearls, you can choose your favorite hairdo, then pair it with a huge ball gown and a crown.
Pennywise from 'It'
For anyone looking to give their friends and family a fright on the spookiest day of the year, you can do just that when you show up as Pennywise the clown. His infamous look includes a frilly clown suit, face paint, a big red wig, and a red balloon to match!
Cruella de Vil from '101 Dalmations'
Channel your inner Disney villain by going as deranged fashion designer Cruella de Vil. Her half-black, half-white hairdo is unmistakable and the key to pulling off any Cruella costume. Pair it with a black dress, red gloves, and a faux fur for a devilishly stylish look.
Cher
Cher hair never goes out of style! Pay tribute to a '70s icon by pairing a long, straight black wig with any glam outfit. Bonus points for finding a Bono to go with you!
The Bride of Frankenstein
Here comes the bride...of Frankenstein! If you want to wear a wig this Halloween and you like the idea of going as a classic spooky monster, this is the perfect costume for you.
Doc Brown from 'Back to the Future'
Great Scott! You'll look brilliant as everyone's favorite mad scientist, Doc Brown from Back to the Future. Don't forget your white lab coat and goggles!
The Sanderson Sisters from 'Hocus Pocus'
The only thing better than one cool Halloween wig is three. Put a spell on everyone this Halloween by grabbing two of your besties and going as the Sanderson sisters. So many wigs, and so many little children to scare!
Dolly Parton
Every good Dolly costume starts with a big blond wig—the bigger, the better. After all, as Dolly herself famously said, "The higher the hair, the closer to God."
Foxxy Cleopatra from 'Austin Powers in Goldmember'
Beyoncé was the epitome of groovy as FBI agent Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember. We love this glamorous metallic look topped off with a golden afro.
Ursula from 'The Little Mermaid'
We couldn't resist adding another unforgettable Disney villain, especially since she's back in the new live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Ursula's white coif is sure to raise some hairs this Halloween!
Jareth from 'Laybrinth'
David Bowie's turn as Jareth the Goblin King wouldn't have been nearly as memorable without that wild blond wig! You'll be dancing the magic dance all night long this Halloween.
Sally from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'
Long live the Pumpkin Queen. Stitch yourself a rag doll costume like Sally's this Halloween and be sure to top it all off with a red yarn wig.
Sandy from 'Grease'
We'll always be hopelessly devoted to this costume! Whether you identify as a "Good Sandy" or a "Bad Sandy," a blond wig is an absolute must for pulling off either look.
Lydia Deetz and Betelgeuse from 'Beetlejuice'
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Bella Hadid and The Weekend really nailed this look, and you can, too—it all starts with the perfect wigs.
