45 Cute Best Friend

Halloween Costume
Ideas You Can DIY
#SquadGhouls!

By Eden Sandlin and Shelby Copeland

Jul 19, 2021

COURTESY

If you do everything with your BFF—

attend harvest festivals, bake autumnal
desserts, and sip fall cocktails while
bingeing horror movies—why not take it
one step further and dress as a pair this
Halloween.

Coming up with a creative (and cute)

costume is always a challenge, but it's
one that's made easier with a little hive
mentality.

Whether your squad decides to DIY or

simply click "buy" on Amazon, there are
plenty of disguises (many of which can
come together at the last-minute) that
suit both duos and groups of best friends.
Think: matching costumes inspired by
classic movies, book characters, scary
witches, Disney heroines, funny food
puns, 90s trends, or even the most classic
pals of all time—The Golden Girls.

While you could totally host a

crafternoon to assemble these best friend
Halloween costumes in the cheapest way
possible, you really don't need any
sewing skills to get the job done in an
affordable manner. And when you're
done, get those cameras and Instagram
captions ready, because you'll deRnitely
want to commemorate the occasion. Pro
tip: Before buying a pre-made costume,
consider shopping your own closets to
help bring the Pinterest-perfect looks on
this list to life.
