You swore you'd never let it happen again, but somehow, someway, Halloween has crept up on you, and you're stuck without a costume. If the panic has started to set in that you've got nothing to wear to your friend's themed party that's uh, next week (internally screaming) or even just something fun and comfortable to take your kids trick-or-treating in, take a nice, deep breath and repeat after me: There's no good reason to cut holes in your bedsheets for a last-minute ghost ensemble. This is why Amazon exists!

You don't even have to waste time finding the goods, because I’ve combed through hundreds of options on the site for the most perfect picks imaginable, from a very of-the-moment Taylor Swift-inspired look to a classic Winifred Sanderson dress (from $50). These are, in my (admittedly biased) opinion, the best Amazon Halloween costumes you can find.

How I Chose the Best Amazon Halloween Costumes

Are you questioning how I define the "best?" OK, fine—let me explain: A great Halloween costume should be one that’s recognizable enough that you won’t have to launch into a monologue to explain what you're supposed to be. It should be comfortable enough to wear for several hours (without something falling off or needing to be reattached), and, most importantly, it should reflect your personality.

Taking the above into account, I found 35 costumes that reflect the current pop culture landscape, paying homage to characters from popular movies or TV shows, superheroes, talked-about figures and more. I also considered quality, function and design, seeking out options that would be authentic without the addition of too many other accessories or accouterments. Additionally, I scoured reviews from previous buyers to ensure these looks weren't shoddily made.

Without further ado, check out my favorites below.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is still going strong—and so is the buzz surrounding, well, just about everything she does right now. So naturally, Taylor is going to dominate Halloween this year, especially if you can get someone to tag along as her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (see below). The only question is, what era are you going to go as? This sequin dress captures the sparkle of the tour, especially her Lover and 1989 eras. Just grab a blonde wig ($21) and a bejeweled mic ($22) and you're good to go.

Whether he's your Travis, always cheering you on, or just doesn't want to put too much effort into a costume, this T-shirt is a winner. An actual Kelce jersey may be hard to find these days (you can thank Taylor for that), but this shirt featuring his number, 87, and the words "Taylor's boyfriend" might be even better costume-wise. Don't forget the friendship bracelet that kicked off the start of their relationship, while you're at it.

This year, you can release your inner Winifred Sanderson for a totally witchin’ evening thanks to this officially licensed getup, which will not only look great, it will also keep you warm. According to the company, it's best to size up in this one if you're in-between sizes. And don’t forget the matching fiery red wig ($24) to complete your spell-binding look!

This kit comes with everything you need to capture the essence of Anxiety, from the signature striped sweater to the glasses and orange headband. You'll just have to grab a pair of brown pants ($36) and wear your best worried expression. Bonus points if you can round up a crew to go as all the emotions.

Grimace had a real moment with his viral Grimace shake trend, in which users pretended to meet an untimely fate after trying one of the mascot's new berry-flavored milkshakes. Now, he's about to have another one with this costume, which comes in both adult and kid sizes. Nice and toasty, it's just the thing for helping your kid collect *all* the candy outdoors. It's also a great option for those who can't be bothered with the minutiae.

  • What's included: Grimace suit

10. Wishliker Stitch Onesie

What I Like

What I Don't Like

  • headpiece needs to be up
  • can feel overheated

Wishliker

Friendly reminder that a live-action version of Lilo and Stitch was announced at Disney's 2024 D23 Expo. It makes the perfect excuse to wear this extra cozy Stitch onesie this Halloween. Not only does it capture his adorable-yet-mischievous energy, but you'll be warm throughout the entire night. That's a win in my book.

Super Mario costumes are already proving to be a big draw for 2024, with Princess Peach in particular garnering a lot of buzz. This princess costume lets you choose how you want to portray her, since it comes in two colors, and all her regal accessories (think the crown and gloves) come included in the bag. Check out the estimated delivery date before purchasing, however, as certain sizes may arrive much later than others.

Fun World

When it comes to female empowerment, there’s no better rep than Rosie the Riveter. With this throwback costume, you can celebrate the hard-working women of yore who clocked in at factories and shipyards during World War II. You’ll have to put in your own work on those biceps to master Rosie's iconic flex, though. You'll also want to pay attention to the delivery dates, as smaller sizes may arrive after the holiday.

Chappell Roan has quickly taken over the music scene with her pop anthems and incredible stage presence, so recreating one of her looks will be a major win. While she has many iconic looks to choose from, one of the easiest to recreate might be her Statue of Liberty aesthetic from her performance at Governors Ball this year. If you want to go all out, cover yourself in green body paint ($10) and wear a fiery red wig ($10).

Yes, Barbiecore may be over, but Barbie still makes for a fun Halloween costume—especially this look. Complete with a pink leotard, leggings, a pair of neon wristbands and a sun visor, this ‘80s-inspired costume is a pair of rollerblades away from turning you into a deadringer Margot Robbie rolling through Venice Beach. Most customers say it runs pretty big, though, so we suggest sizing down if you want a better fit.

Wednesday hit Netflix in 2022, but with season 2 in the works, the costume is just as relevant today. This dress, which we can totally see Jenna Ortega in, is made of a comfy and breathable cotton and spandex blend and features an iconic Peter Pan collar. Braided pigtails, dark lipstick ($6) and a brooding expression are all you'll need to really drive it home. I also love that the dress can be worn well after Oct. 31st.

The hat has an elastic band inside that allows it to fit a wide range of sizes, and the buttons can be sewn or glued onto your costume.

Progressive Insurance

Comfortable? Check. Humorous? Check. Instantly recognizable? After seeing the Progressive commercials umpteenth times over the years, it certainly should be! This officially licensed Flo apron, which more than a few reviewers mentioned is actually embroidered—not printed—speaking to the quality, comes paired with a wig you can use whenever the urge strikes. You’ll even get Flo's adorable little “I heart insurance” pin. While the wig can be unruly, one reviewer mentioned that they had better luck when adding in in a hair volumizing tool ($8).

You don’t need a sorting hat to help decide your costume this year: This patched skirt means you'll be a shoo-in as a Gryffindor to show off your Hogwarts pride. And is aptly timed with the Harry Potter show in the works. It’s also one of the easiest costumes of the bunch (just note that the shirt and tie are not included, though you can buy them as a bundle for $34). Accio, Halloween treats!

Movie buffs will geek out over this retro look that gives a nod to the cult classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's officially licensed (read: incredibly accurate to Bueller's own threads), and the faux leather retro jacket lends itself to a night of warmth. He'll have to wear his own white tee and gray trousers (or buy a pair, $29), but I still think it's a fair price for a faux leather jacket and a sweater vest. Shoppers note that it does run small, so you may want to size up.

Can You Return Halloween Costumes to Amazon?

If you need to return your Halloween costume on Amazon, it’s important to note that the process varies based on the seller’s policies. That said, the mega-retailer states that if the seller fails to list its product's policy or state the return time frame, its "standard 30-day return policy applies."

What Is the No. 1 Halloween Store? 

While Spirit Halloween is one of the largest and most recognizable Halloween store chains (especially for last-minute costume runs), Amazon ranks as the largest online retailer in the world, making it a solid contender in the Halloween offering department. (Psst: If you prefer to shop small—but you need the speed of Prime shipping—look for the small business badge on an Amazon product's page.)
