TV Show Characters I’m Dressing Up As This Halloween—And You Should Too!

Halloween is around the corner, and as someone who loves both TV shows and dressing up, I’ve picked some of my favorite characters to channel this year! These looks are easy to recreate, perfect for anyone looking to dive into pop culture, and they bring a subtle Halloween vibe without going overboard. Plus, these outfits can easily be put together with wardrobe basics!

Let me share how you can rock these characters too.

Gus from Sweet Tooth

Gus from Sweet Tooth

Gus is the lovable half-deer, half-human hybrid from Sweet Tooth. His look is simple but iconic, and it’s all about cozy, rugged charm. All you need is a classic red flannel shirt and a pair of ripped jeans to get started. The deer antlers will take this from casual to Halloween-ready. You can either DIY some antlers or buy a headband with them attached. It’s a great choice if you want to channel a cute forest creature vibe while keeping it comfortable and laid-back. This is a perfect blend of fun and whimsical with just the right amount of quirky. The antlers add a magical element that fits well with the Halloween spirit.

Kate Sharma from Bridgerton

Kate Sharma in Bridgerton

Kate Sharma, the elegant and strong-willed character from Bridgerton, is all about that Regency-core style. To capture her essence, find a simple, solid-colored gown—something flowy and modest that gives off that regal feel. A chain necklace and black ballet flats add understated elegance. You’ll look like you just stepped out of a high-society ball in London, but with a modern twist. This costume is timeless and graceful, perfect for anyone who wants to dress up without going full-on spooky. Plus, who wouldn’t want to channel some Bridgerton royalty?

Eleven from Stranger Things

Eleven from Stranger Things

Eleven’s look from Season 3 of Stranger Things is all about that ‘80s throwback vibe. With her tie-dye Hawaiian shirt, suspenders, and jeans, you’re ready to embrace her adventurous spirit. Don’t forget to tie your hair up with a yellow scrunchie to complete the look. This costume screams fun, retro, and a little bit rebellious—just like Eleven! It’s colorful, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable. Plus, you can top it off with a box of Eggo waffles as a prop for that full Eleven effect.

Joe Goldberg from YOU

For those who prefer something a little darker and more mysterious, Joe Goldberg from YOU is an easy but chilling option. All you need is a denim shirt, slim-fit pants, and his signature grey cap. Joe’s look is casual but unsettling, which makes it the perfect low-effort Halloween costume with a creepy twist. Joe’s character is dark and enigmatic, which gives off major Halloween vibes without requiring anything elaborate. The gray cap is the key—wear it low, and you’ve got his lurking, stalker energy down.
