Come on, Barbie, let's go... well, get ready for Halloween! We might still have some time before all of those Halloween party invites start arriving, but it's never too early to start brainstorming your next DIY Halloween costumes. And since Barbiecore has taken the world by storm thanks to the wildly popular Barbie film, we think we have a pretty good idea of the direction we're taking our look this year. Hint: We want to get all dolled up—literally! If you've started to think pink as well, then you've come to the right spot. Here, we've curated several Barbie Halloween costumes that are just as fabulous as they are fun!
If you're wanting to copy a costume straight from the movie, brush up on your Barbie movie quotes, because there are several iconic options to choose from like a neon rollerblading outfit or a pink cowgirl ensemble. Want to stick to the classics? We've found a swimsuit that looks just like the one seen on the original 1959 doll. Plus, if you're anything like us, you can't get enough of Margot Robbie's perfectly on-theme red carpet looks to promote her successful role. So, of course, we've included a few pretty-in-pink outfits based on those. You can even try your hand at a Barbie doll that's still in her box. After all, life in plastic... it's fantastic.
So, without further ado, have a very Barbie Halloween with these DIY ideas. Many of them would make great last-minute Halloween costumes. We also love the idea of grabbing your partner and making it a couples costume by going as Barbie and Ken. (Yes, we've even found Ken costumes.) You can also call your girls and go as a whole collection of Barbies. Talk about a memorable group costume! And if you're wanting even more inspo, check out some other classic pop culture Halloween costumes, too.
Dreamhouse Barbie Costume
Barbie might be venturing to the real world in her new movie, but you can take a trip to Barbie Land on October 31 when you replicate this vintage-inspired outfit straight from the big screen. We've found a pink and white gingham dress that's so similar to the original. Just pair it with pink heels then finish it off with a flower necklace and matching flower earrings.

Original Barbie Costume
Here's the suit that started it all! The original Mattel doll launched on March 9, 1959 wearing the black and white striped swimsuit you see above. Cool, right? Well, this is even cooler: Thanks to a collaboration between Barbie and Unique Vintage, you can grab a life-sized reproduction of the original swimwear. It boasts the same sweetheart neckline and chevron print. Don't forget the cat-eye sunglasses! And if you want a little extra coverage, just throw a cover-up on top.

Cowgirl Barbie Costume
If there's one thing fans of The Pioneer Woman know, it's that country can definitely be chic! This outfit from the live-action movie just proves it even further. Here's what you'll need to wrangle up your fashion-forward frontier look this Halloween: a vibrant pink vest and matching flare pants along with accessories like a pink bandana and white cowboy hat. Now you're ready to kick up your Barbie boots!

Rollerblade Barbie Costume
This '80s inspired look was popular even before the Barbie movie officially came out. Yep, the neon garb has been a fan favorite ever since people saw photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on the movie set—and for good reason! They're just so fun! Barbie's bold and bright workout outfit is complete with a patterned unitard and biker shorts as well as a matching visor. And you can't forget about the knee and elbow pads. For this one, the more neon, the better!

Disco Barbie Costume
If a party is a part of your Halloween plans, you'd be remiss to not go all out with the glitz and glam of Barbie's 1970s-inspired disco getup! After you find a sequined jumpsuit (preferably with fabulous flare bottoms), just primp your hair into a feathery 'do and finish everything off with glittering gold accessories and shoes. Just like the disco doll, you'll be ready to dance the night away!

Weird Barbie Costume
Whether you played with your doll a little too vigorously, left it in reach of the family pet, or just really wanted to get creative, we all had one! That's what makes "Weird Barbie" so relatable. Of course, you can copy Kate McKinnon's costume from the movie, but you can also DIY your own outfit to really capture the eccentricity of the quirky character. Grab some face paint crayons and fabric markers then doodle away. You'll also want to color a few strands of your disheveled blonde wig!

President Barbie Costume
President Barbie has quickly become one of the most popular Mattel Collectible Barbie Dolls—both because she's all kinds of fantastic (obviously) and also because of that stunning outfit! Issa Rae's signature President Barbie look is a blush and gold ballgown along with a pink President sash. While walking around in a long, poofy dress might not be the move for Halloween, you can don a similar short style along with matching accessories.

Girl Power Barbie Costume
Perhaps one of the most iconic parts of the Barbie film is watching every Barbie come together to reclaim Barbie Land and the Dream House from Ken. Go solo or grab your girls for a group costume and join in on the action with a pink power utility suit. We've even included an option from Pistola Denim that director Greta Gerwig was actually seen wearing around set. Add a few fun accessories like a headscarf and sunglasses and you're ready to see to it that the Mojo Dojo Casa House is no more!

Beret Barbie Costume
Even Barbie's travel outfit is absolutely fabulous. She might be leaving Barbie Land, but she's definitely taking her fashion sense with her—and you can, too! A collared blouse finished with puff sleeves atop an iridescent pink skirt makes up this costume. Braid your hair to the side then add to the Barbiecore with a pink beret and pink pearl earrings. You can also add a bow!

Princess Barbie Costume
We absolutely love that the stars are bringing Barbie’s dream world to life on the red (or in this case, pink) carpet. We're taking major inspo from the dazzling princess-esque ensemble that Margot Robbie pulled out in Seoul. If you want to copy it, we've found a few similar pieces like a pink sequin bodysuit, tulle skirt, and heels. Talk about pretty in pink!

Boxed Barbie Costume
Did you know that Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts? Well, now you do! And you can make her whatever you want with this neat costume. Just slip the "Super Star Barbie" box over any trendy (and pink) outfit of your choice. It has cut out arm and leg openings for comfort. While we did include links to a few Barbie-inspired clothing items, it's fun to get creative and relive the fun of dressing up the same way you used to dress your dolls!
