Year after year, we claim that we’re going to start planning and ordering our Halloween costumes in mid-September. And, naturally, every year we completely forget about costume ideas until the week before the big day. Then the panic ensues as we try to whip up a clever costume and get organized in time for our Halloween plans. It’s a nearly universal experience.

The solution? Our trusty Amazon Prime. Super-fast Prime shipping means you can order a last-minute Halloween costume as soon as inspiration strikes and receive it within a mere day or two—perfect for those of us who have procrastinated deciding what we want to dress up as for the past several weeks. Here, we’ve rounded up the best last-minute Halloween costumes you can order from Amazon this year, just in time for the spookiest night of the year.

1. Weird Barbie from Barbie

It’s not too late to live out your “Hi, Barbie!” dreams this Halloween! Get dressed up along with all the other girlies in the most recognizable costume of 2023—with a twist, of course. All you need to pull off Weird Barbie is a pink dress, some neon socks, a bedraggled wig, and a single Birkenstock sandal to carry around all night.

2. Princess Diana

Obviously, we all know that Princess Diana was a fashion icon, and Halloween is the perfect time to re-create one of her looks. For an easily recognizable costume that you’ll want to wear again IRL, mimic her “revenge dress” look with an off-the-shoulder black dress, a pearl choker, and sheer black tights.

3. Dionne Davenport from Clueless

Cher’s bright yellow plaid set might be tricky to find on short notice, but Dionne’s black-and-white ensemble is much easier to replicate (and way more likely to be worn past Halloween). Simply throw on a plaid blazer and skirt over a red cardigan and some knee-high black socks. More power to you if you want to rock her iconic rose-topped hat.

“Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed.” In the year of pink, there’s no better costume than the iconic Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Channel this game-changing girlboss with a hot-pink blazer set, pink sunnies, and, of course, a pink fluffy pen (for taking notes, obviously).

The chicest character in all of Schitt’s Creek has to be the iconic Moira Rose. To mimic Moira this Halloween, start with some costume jewelry and a black dress, and top the look with some chunky heeled boots and a black lace shrug. You might just want to wear this look every day.
