Whether you’re looking to channel your inner queen, a funky pop star, or even a fantasy character straight from Netflix, I’ve got 20 sexy Halloween costume ideas to inspire you! Time to have an unforgettable Halloween!
Sexy Halloween Costumes to Try!
1. Dallas Cowgirls
The Dallas Cowgirls costume is back in the spotlight this Halloween thanks to Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts series. This iconic cheerleader look is the perfect balance of cute, sporty, and sexy- the perfect halloween costume!
To nail the look, grab a pair of white cowboy boots, star-studded blue and white shorts (or DIY a pair of your own white shorts), a long sleeve blue crop top and a fitted white vest. It’s all about the classic cheerleader vibe, but with some extra glam! Big, voluminous hair and bold makeup- think winged eyeliner and some sparkles- will add that extra pop to make you look like you just stepped off the field! Don’t forget the pompoms!
Where to Buy:
- Blue crop top (Amazon)
- White booty shorts (Amazon)
- White Cowboy boots (Amazon)

2. Glinda the Good Witch
There has been a ton of hype about the upcoming Wicked movie, and even if it’s not released until November you can still channel your inner fairy tale with this costume! Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favourite characters, and the queen Ariana Grande is playing her in the new movie, which I could NOT be more excited about! But instead of going full-on princess with your costume, why not give her a little sass? Picture this: a pastel pink flowy dress with glitter everywhere and, of course, that iconic sparkly crown.
Pair this look with some glittery silver heels and a soft, smokey eye. Trust me, people will be like “Good witch? More like drop-dead gorgeous witch!”
Where to Buy:
- Pink dress (Amazon)
- Tiara (Amazon)
- Wand (Amazon)

3. Sabrina Carpenter
My all-time favourite pop-star is really having her moment this year, and who wouldn’t want to channel their inner Sabrina Carpenter? She’s got the perfect mix of girl-next-door and glam vibes, which is exactly why her look makes for a killer Halloween costume.
Grab a sparkly silver bodysuit and some tights, or find a cute, flowy babydoll dress with some heels. Don’t forget her iconic blond hair (style those bangs as best as you can!), red lipstick tattoo and her bedazzled microphone to complete the look. Added points if you can find an alien to make out with all night!

To nail this look, grab a white dress with a poofy skirt, and don’t forget the essentials: Elbow-length white gloves, a glittery tiara, plain black sunnies and some old-school headphones. For makeup, keep it fresh and glowing with soft eyeshadow, a little highlighter, and the iconic cherry-red lips. Style your hair in an elegant updo for that final princess touch!
Where to Buy:
5. Brat Summer
Summer may be over but Brat Summer is forever! Channel your inner raver with this easy, sexy Charlie XCX costume. This costume is more about attitude than anything else!
