Even though there’s a ton of great costumes out there, coming up with female Halloween costume ideas can often be overwhelming. One of the hardest decisions can be whether or not you want to go traditional, wild and off the wall or just something fun. However, if you want to do something different this year then here are 7 ideas for you:

1) Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has been known for wearing ridiculous outfit after ridiculous outfit, making her the perfect choice for Halloween this year! You could choose to dress as Lady Gaga in the early days, with her trademark sunglasses and leotards. Or you can choose some of her iconic recent outfits, such as the controversial meat dress, the telephone hat, or her rock chick concert outfits. The right wig will make these instantly recognizable.

2) Pirate

There are plenty of pirate-themed female Halloween costume ideas to choose from. On the one hand, you have the sexy pirate options, with the full, short skirts and corsets. On the other, you can dress as the slightly more conservative female pirate who wears pants and a big frilly shirt.

3) Warrior Princess

If you’re a strong, powerful female then this is the costume for you. This is also the perfect way to complement your partner if he’s going as a Spartan warrior. The warrior princess means wearing a leather or earth-colored cloth with a cape and gladiator style sandals.

4) The Morning After

This cheeky Halloween costume involves dressing as a woman who didn’t make it home last night. Her hair is a mess, hair makeup is smudged, she’s still wearing last night’s clothes, and she may even have her skirt tucked into her underwear. I wonder what she got up to the night before?

5) Medieval Dress

Have you always fancied being Maid Marian for the day? A medieval dress will create the perfect look. All you’ll need is a long gown, with a bodice top and puffy sleeves, not forgetting the long, flowing hair.

6) Disney Princess

Just because we’re all grown up doesn’t mean we have to stop dreaming of finally becoming a princess! A princess costume can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. If you’re a fan of the Disney movies then there are a huge number of officially licensed Disney costumes available to buy.

7) Wicked Witch

Last on the list is the classic witch costume. There are many ways to represent this Halloween favorite. One of the most fun is to go as the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz – complete with all over green skin! Or you could stick to the classic witch image with a black dress, stripy tights, a broomstick and the all-important witches hat.

For a lot of fun, you can even mix and match these ideas. Try a Medieval witch or a Medieval princess or perhaps even a Wicked Princess. The possibilities are endless.
