The 15 Most Popular Halloween Costumes With Blonde Hair

There's a cliché that claims blondes have more fun, and whether you're a natural blonde or not, there's no time more appropriate to test this theory than Halloween. With inspiration from iconic television characters like Daenerys Targaryen to real-life icons like Britney Spears and celebrities just doing Halloween right (we're looking at you, Winnie Harlow), blonde hair or a good blonde wig makes for plenty of fun, instantly recognizable Halloween costumes.

As I'm a natural brunette with a fear of bleaching my hair, Halloween provides the perfect excuse to satisfy my longing for blonde beachy waves. This year, use your blonde locks as inspiration for your costume, or run to the store to grab a wig. Whether you're looking for a costume you can throw together with the pieces in your closet or hoping to put your creative skills to the test, we have 15 popular Halloween costumes with blonde hair that range from easy to expert.

Daenerys Targaryen 

Khaleesi's blonde hair is the stuff of dreams, but even more jaw-dropping is her powerful uniform in Game of Thrones.

Eleven 

Eleven gets a glow-up with blonde hair, and you can do the same on Halloween.

Twiggy

A '60s icon, Twiggy is a fun throwback to another decade.

Britney Spears

There are so many iconic Britney Spears looks, but her "I'm a Slave 4 U" performance at the 2001 VMAs is one of the most memorable. If you're down for a little DIY project and lots of compliments, this is the costume for you.

Mia Grey

Mia Grey is Christian Grey's more exciting, fun, and eccentric sister. Rita Ora steals the show as Mia in Fifty Shades of Grey, and you're sure to steal the show in this costume. With a dress this chic, you can rewear it year-round.

Sandy Olsson

Tell me about it, stud. That's it. That's the line.

Margot Tenenbaum

While all Wes Anderson films are known for their style, one of his most iconic characters of all time is Margot Tenenbaum.

Daisy Buchanan

Pretend you live in a Fitzgerald novel or the 1920s—or both.

Cher Horowitz

Cher Horowitz is a feminist icon, in my opinion, and will never stop being a relevant Halloween costume.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen

I aspire to dress in all black with Venti Starbucks Americanos like the Olsen sisters on a daily basis, but Halloween seems like a good time to start.

Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn will always be a great costume.

Sarah Cameron

Grab a seamless bra top and a choker because, yes, we're dressing up as Outer Banks' Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) this Halloween.

Serena van der Woodsen

I rewatch Gossip Girl every year, and despite being a brunette, I would happily throw on a blonde wig to have my chance to be golden girl Serena VDW.

Mermaid 

Mariah Carey definitely did this costume right.

RuPaul

Only Winnie Harlow could rival RuPaul in a red leather teddy. Maybe you can too—with the right costume, that is.
