Okay, so—Halloween’s like, literally right around the corner (how is it approaching already?!) which means it’s time to start freaking out over what you’re gonna wear.
Are you going all-out for a party?? Hitting the bar with your besties… or is it more of a candy-in-bed, scary-movie-mood this year? Whatever vibe you’re on, Halloween is the ONE night you get to be whoever (or um, whatever) you want.
But honestly?? The hardest part is picking a costume. There’s just So. Many. Choices. Ugh.
Don’t stress though! I put together all the cutest women’s costume ideas I could find—so you don’t have to scroll Pinterest for three hours (guilty). Classic, funny, trendy, weird, you name it—there’s something below for every wild idea.
Let’s do this, grab your fake blood and glitter. Here are the cutest unique Halloween costume ideas for women this year.
