For the final touch, carry a wrist-slingshot prop or a basketball under your arm to bring his pragmatic, brave personality to life.
Holly
Even Holly Wheeler can join the Hawkins Halloween crew this year. This Holly Wheeler Costume recreates her princess-style look from Stranger Things 5, making it an especially cute choice for younger fans. The dress does most of the work, so you can keep the rest of the outfit simple with matching shoes and neatly styled hair.

Dress in this crisp Devil Henry Cosplay Suit Set, featuring a tailored white orderly suit with clean button details.

This Stranger Things character is so iconic that even if you didn’t watch the series, you’d definitely have seen him in memes on social media.

Gather Team Avatar because Avatar: The Last Airbender gives your squad plenty of characters to choose from this Halloween. With Season 2 bringing the gang’s journey into 2026, characters like Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph and Azula are timely additions to your Halloween costume ideas. Their distinctive colours also make it easy to tell who’s representing which nation when you arrive together.
KPop Demon Hunters remains one of the hottest Netflix costume ideas for 2026! The animated Netflix hit follows a K-pop idol group who fight demons after hours, so the outfits mix performance glam with fantasy warrior vibes.
HUNTR/X Girls (Rumi, Mira, Zoey)
By day, HUNTR/X are idols dazzling fans with sequins and choreography, and by night, they’re battling supernatural threats. Their colourful stage outfits and distinctive hairstyles make HUNTR/X a fun three-person costume for Halloween. Get two friends together, choose your characters and add matching accessories to bring the trio to life.
Saja Boys
The Saja Boys may be demons in disguise, but their “Soda Pop” stage outfits are full K-pop idol perfection. Each member’s style blends pastel brights, playful hair colours, and coordinated details that make them instantly recognisable. If your group is looking for fun Halloween costume ideas, here’s how to recreate each member for Halloween:
One Piece is a manga series that has managed to achieve the title of cult classic, with over 500 million copies sold worldwide. Set in a world filled with notorious pirates and adventure, One Piece has its own anime TV series and now, even a Netflix live-action series! If you’re searching for Netflix costume ideas for your whole crew, the Straw Hats give everyone a distinctive character to recreate. Even if you’re not an avid fan of the series, we trust that you will be after watching Season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece.
Monkey D. Luffy
One of the most popular characters would be Monkey D. Luffy, whose getup is recognisable by his straw hat and vibrant red vest. If you’re looking for fun Halloween costume ideas to try out in 2026, Luffy’s costume set is definitely going to be a fun option. Simply pair it with a pair of slippers or flip flops and you’re good to go!
Roronoa Zoro
Zoro’s outfit is sleek and battle-ready. Start with a simple white open-collar shirt, pair it with black trousers, and tuck in a green sash (haramaki) around your waist. Add sturdy black boots and tie a black bandana around your arm (save putting it on your head for when you’re “ready to fight”). For props, carry Three Toy Swords, since Zoro is famous for his three-sword style.
Nami
The Straw Hats’ clever navigator mixes pirate chic with casual cool. Suit up with the classic Nami outfit. Add a belt with pouches, gold jewellery, and heeled sandals or boots. Carry a staff (to mimic her Clima-Tact weapon) or a rolled-up treasure map to make the look complete.
Usopp
The comedic sharpshooter’s look is quirky but fun. Wear brown overalls with a sash belt, a white bandana or headscarf, and goggles perched on your forehead. Pair this with brown boots and carry a slingshot prop. For extra detail, bring a small pouch of “ammo” (pebbles or marbles).
Sanji
The suave cook is all about classy style. Dress in a fitted black double-breasted suit with a slim black tie and polished shoes. Style your blonde hair neatly to one side, and for props, carry a toy cigarette or a kitchen knife.
“Ring-a-ring-a, ring-a, ring-a-ring-a, ring” – if this chant sends a chill down your spine, you’ve probably binged the new season of Squid Game. Halloween 2026 is the perfect opportunity for you to dress up in a Squid Game costume to give a nod to this dark survival game show that took the world by storm in 2021. Here’s a slew of Netflix’s Squid Game-inspired Halloween costume ideas to consider for 2026:
Squid Game participant
According to Squid Game director Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the players in the series were dressed in green gym attire as they reminded him of what Korean high school students wore back then. Most importantly, it was a way to remove their individuality and symbolise conformity.
While you’d probably not want to participate in the deadly game, these Squid Game uniforms make for an easy Netflix Halloween costume this 2026.
Squid Game guards
In striking contrast, the masked men carrying out duties donned hot pink jumpsuits. Their masks were marked with the three iconic shapes of the series: circle, triangle and square. According to director Hwang, this design was inspired by ant colonies. It’s similar to how ants have delineated roles in a clear system, but they look indistinguishable on the outside. For an easy Netflix-inspired Halloween costume, simply get the Pink Guard jumpsuit set.
Front man
The coolest, most mysterious outfit of Squid Game undisputedly goes to the Front Man. Fret not if you don’t have access to a 3D printer to churn out the polygon mask. Simply get the ready-made Front Man’s Mask for an easy Squid Game Halloween costume!
Squid Game doll
To instil some terror in your next ghoulish Halloween gathering this 2026, dress up as the giant animatronic doll in Squid Game. For this Netflix ensemble, get the Robot Doll costume. To recreate the look exactly, put on a pair of knee-high socks and black Mary Janes.
Squid Game recruiter
Despite only appearing in a few scenes, Gong Yoo’s cameo has been a fan-favourite and the subject of multiple Squid Game theories. The Ddakji slapping game has also been recreated by fans across the world at the subway station. For one of the more subtle Netflix costume ideas, throw on your tuxedo, bring along a briefcase, and a Squid Game Card. Then, put on your best salesman smile to look the part!
Halloween is always better when you have a partner-in-crime. Whether you’re aiming for adorable, hilarious, or full-on romantic, these couple-ready Netflix costume ideas make it easy to coordinate with your boo.
If you and your partner want to channel elegance and drama this Halloween, Bridgerton is your answer. The Netflix series sparked the Regencycore fashion trend, making empire-waist gowns, tailored waistcoats, and pearl accessories instantly recognisable. If period fashion is your thing, these Netflix character costumes let you transform into some of the show’s most memorable couples.
Daphne Bridgerton & Simon Basset (Season 1)
Daphne’s look is pure debutante perfection. Wear a pastel empire-waist gown with puff sleeves, pearl drop earrings, long white gloves, and a delicate updo. Carry a lace fan or parasol to complete the aesthetic. Simon’s outfit is equally regal: a dark frock coat, tailored waistcoat, slim trousers, and tall boots. Add a cravat for the finishing touch. Together, you’ll look like the season’s diamond and her Duke.
Anthony Bridgerton & Kate Sharma (Season 2)
Anthony’s costume is all about heirly gravitas. A tailored frock coat layered over a patterned waistcoat, crisp shirt, and cravat nails his look. Add a pocket watch for detail. Kate, on the other hand, wears jewel-toned gowns that stand out against pastel crowds. Recreate her style with a deep purple or emerald empire-waist dress, a statement necklace, and her signature bold eyeliner. This pairing is perfect for couples who want to serve fiery chemistry.
Colin Bridgerton & Penelope Featherington (Season 3)
For a softer and slightly quirky couple costume, go with Colin and Penelope. Colin wears lighter-coloured waistcoats, pale trousers, and frock coats, often styled more casually than his brothers. Penelope’s wardrobe is filled with bright yellows and greens, reflecting her family’s Featherington aesthetic. Choose a lemon-yellow empire gown with puff sleeves, curls styled down, and delicate gloves. Together, they’re the ultimate friends-to-lovers pairing.
Benedict Bridgerton & Sophie Baek (Season 4)
Want to make your Halloween entrance look like you’ve stepped straight into a Regency masquerade? Bridgerton Season 4 gives couples plenty of inspiration with Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek. Sophie’s mysterious Lady in Silver look is especially fitting for Halloween, so slip into an elegant silver-toned Regency gown and add a masquerade mask, gloves and sparkling accessories. Benedict can complement the look with a tailored tailcoat, waistcoat, trousers and cravat.
Queen Charlotte & King George (Bonus Pair)
For those who want to go over the top, dress as Queen Charlotte and King George. The Queen’s gowns are extravagant: jewel-encrusted fabrics, towering powdered wigs, feathered headpieces, and heavy pearls. King George’s look is simpler but stately: a blue or dark frock coat with gold embroidery, breeches, and a white powdered wig. This pair guarantees you’ll be the most dramatic entrance of the night.
If your vibe this Halloween is soft, wholesome, and effortlessly stylish, Heartstopper is the ultimate pick. The Netflix hit is known for its pastel aesthetic, sweet teen romance, and relatable coming-of-age vibes. Best part? These costumes are super easy to pull off with pieces you probably already have in your wardrobe.
Nick Nelson & Charlie Spring
Nick and Charlie are the heart of Heartstopper. To channel Charlie, wear your Truham Grammar School uniform: blazer, tie, white shirt, and slim-fit trousers. Style your hair slightly messy and carry a sketchbook for extra detail. For Nick, layer a rugby jumper or casual hoodie over his school uniform, add white Converse sneakers, and keep your look clean and preppy. Together, the two outfits scream “young love” without trying too hard.
Elle Argent & Tao Xu
Elle’s style is colourful, artsy, and feminine. Recreate her look with patterned skirts, pastel cardigans, and bold accessories. Add a tote bag or chunky earrings for flair. Tao’s vibe is more retro and laid-back: oversized graphic T-shirts, open button-down shirts, chinos or jeans, and of course, his signature beanie hat. As a pair, Elle and Tao balance each other perfectly, making them a fun and fashionable couple’s costume.
Tara Jones & Darcy Olsson
For couples who want a bolder statement, Tara and Darcy are a confident and playful pick. Tara’s outfits are polished but chic. Think blouses, plaid skirts, or cute dresses styled with school uniform pieces. Darcy, in contrast, goes for more rebellious energy: leather jackets, boots, and casual school uniform layers worn slightly undone. Dress as this couple and you’ll radiate cool-girl energy.
If you’re looking for a Halloween costume that blends mystery, wit, and vintage flair, Enola Holmes is a fantastic choice. The Netflix films are full of distinct Victorian-era looks, perfect for couples who want to stand out with something classy but adventurous. Enola and Tewkesbury make an adorable pair costume, with her fiery red gown contrasting his polished aristocratic outfit. For a family or group twist, add Sherlock into the mix for a trio costume that balances detective grit with youthful adventure.
Opposites really do attract when it comes to Wednesday and Enid. Grab your bestie and head back to Nevermore Academy as Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair! Their matching school uniforms make them easy Netflix character costumes for a duo, while the different colours and styling still let each character’s personality come through. Side by side, the two looks make an instantly recognisable Wednesday Halloween costume for best friends.
Wednesday
For Wednesday, wear a black-and-grey striped Nevermore blazer over a white collared shirt and black tie, paired with a matching pleated skirt and chunky black shoes. Style your hair into her signature two braids and keep your accessories and makeup minimal to match her gothic aesthetic.
Enid
For Enid, switch to the purple-and-black striped Nevermore blazer with a white shirt, purple tie and matching pleated skirt. Complete her look with colourful accessories, blonde hair with blue-and-pink ends and brighter makeup for a playful contrast to Wednesday.
Flying solo this Halloween? These characters are unique enough to stand on their own, so you don’t need to convince your entire friend group to follow a theme! If you want to go all out, some of them require a full costume. But if you don’t want to splurge on your outfit this year, the others can be recreated with clothes and accessories you may already own.
Want to be the anti-heroes this Halloween? With the recent release of Money Heist’s Korean adaptation, it’s the perfect time to get decked up in a red suit and Salvador Dali mask. Simply get the Money Heist Costume that’s affordably priced at less than $20. If you want to match the crew’s get-up to a tee, wear a black T-shirt underneath and a pair of Dr. Martens Black Boots!
Take your Netflix costume ideas in a more fashionable direction with an Emily-inspired outfit. Inspired by the hit series Emily In Paris, there’s no time to live your Parisian dreams in an Emily-inspired outfit. Why not go with one of Emily’s iconic looks in season one? A plaid blazer and tweed shorts paired with an eye-catching red beret. Don’t forget her signature retro camera phone cover that’s seen whenever she snaps her selfies!
For fantasy fans, The Witcher remains one of the most visually striking Netflix shows. The costumes are a mix of medieval grit, gothic glamour, and monster-hunter flair, making Geralt one of the more elaborate Halloween costume ideas on this list. Recreate the Witcher’s signature look with a white wig, black leather armour, and a long sword. A medallion necklace shaped like a wolf completes the costume. Bonus points for adding contact lenses that mimic Geralt’s piercing yellow eyes.
Nanno is back, but there’s a new face behind that unsettling smile! Becky Armstrong takes on the role of Nanno in Girl From Nowhere: The Reset, a 2026 reimagining of the Thai series set in a new universe. While longtime fans will remember Chicha “Kitty” Amatayakul as the original Nanno, Becky brings the mysterious character into a new chapter. All you’ll need is a girl’s school uniform, or you can even use your own. You don’t need many accessories since the uniform, hair and makeup do most of the work. Most importantly, practise Nanno’s unnerving smile to complete your Halloween transformation.
Anime fans aren’t being left out! Netflix is also home to plenty of anime series and films featuring characters with instantly recognisable outfits. Whether you’re after easy Netflix costume ideas or more elaborate Netflix character costumes, these anime favourites give you plenty of inspiration.
Get ready to tatakae with this easy Halloween costume idea. Dressing up as one of the scouts from the smash hit anime series Attack On Titan is sure to ignite some cheer amongst your friends. Don the iconic AOT Survey Corps Uniform that includes the green cloak, brown collared jacket and harness details. For girls who want to cosplay as Mikasa, simply add a red scarf into the mix. For guys who want to be Eren, get Eren’s wig to complete the look.
You don’t need supernatural powers or elaborate makeup for this anime costume. For a sporty, comfortable, and energetic anime costume, suit up in a Karasuno High volleyball uniform. Pick your favourite player, find their number and you’re nearly done. Slip into matching shorts, then add knee pads and sports shoes to complete the volleyball look. A volleyball game after the costume party, perhaps?
Transform into a Jujutsu Sorcerer by stepping into the sleek Tokyo Jujutsu High school uniform. These dark uniforms make some of the most recognisable Netflix character costumes for anime fans. Wear a dark navy or black high-collared jacket detailed with signature golden buttons alongside matching dark trousers. You can then let the character-specific hair and accessories do most of the work!
To go as Gojo Satoru, wear a jet-black blindfold across your eyes and style your hair in spiky white locks. Alternatively, portray Yuji Itadori by layering a bright red hoodie collar underneath your uniform jacket and wearing red sneakers. You could also bring friends dressed as Megumi and Nobara for a coordinated group costume.
Step into the demon-slaying world by wearing a Demon Slayer’s iconic patterned haori coat over the classic black Corps uniform. Tanjiro and Nezuko are particularly good choices for siblings, couples or friends who want coordinating costumes without wearing identical outfits. Pair the top with black hakama-style trousers, leg wraps, and traditional straw sandals fitted with socks. Carry a prop Nichirin katana sword tucked safely into your waist belt to look ready for night battles.
If you’re going for Nezuko, look for a cosplay set that includes her pink kimono, patterned obi and signature bamboo muzzle. Add a long dark wig with warm-toned ends to finish the transformation!
Sometimes, the easiest Halloween costumes make the biggest impact. No-Face from Spirited Away is a great example because the character’s simple black silhouette and white mask are instantly recognisable, so absolutely no makeup or face paint is required. Just carry a few gold-coloured tokens or props as another reference to the film. This definitely makes for a fuss-free Netflix anime Halloween costume for 2026!
Gathering your friends as HUNTR/X, travelling the four nations with Team Avatar or stepping into the party as Wednesday Addams? You have plenty of Netflix costume ideas to choose from this 2026. And you don’t always need an elaborate cosplay set either! The right outfit, hairstyle and a few recognisable accessories can be enough to bring your favourite character to life.
