Costumes to Make You Stand Out This Halloween
By MacKenna Sherer — October 15, 2025
We’ve seen it all. From devils to black cats, the same repetitive costumes haunt the Halloween scene each year. They may be classics, but they’re far from original. With the biggest night of October right around the corner, this year is all about ditching the cliches and embracing creativity. This is Square Magazine’s ultimate guide to the most unique yet stylish costumes of 2025.
The Golden Snitch
A magical twist on the timeless series, Harry Potter can come to life through gold-plated wings and metallic dresses. Hogwarts’ magical game Quidditch has never looked better: accessorize with sparkling head pieces, arm cuffs, and body glitter, or make it a partner costume with your very own Harry.
Marie Antoinette
Let them eat cake! The historical figure with an infamous sweet tooth can bring a piece of the 18th century to this Halloween with pastel colors, powdered wigs with hair pieces, Victorian jewelry, lace-up corsets, and, of course, porcelain makeup.
Winx Club
“Winx Club” is a Nickelodeon cartoon centered around a fairy friend group fighting evil enemies. This colorful and nostalgic show offers the perfect opportunity to get your girls involved or have a magical solo moment. Bring on the Y2K style with sparkly two-piece sets, knee-high white boots, fairy wings, and lots of glitter.
Knight in Shining Armour
Who said a girl needs saving? It’s time to be your own hero with this iconic and historic character. Accessorize with crosses, silver jewelry, and heavy eye makeup, and complete the legendary look with layered chain mail and a sword.
Fancy Nancy
If a playful character is what you’re looking for this Halloween, Fancy Nancy is the costume for you. Grab a pair of bright red heels, a chain of pearls, cat-eye sunglasses, a ruffled skirt, and a tiara; pin your hair up, and let’s bring out the fashion fun.
Monster High Dolls
The spooky doll franchise, launched in 2010, is making its way into the Halloween scene. Choose from a variety of ghoulish and stylish characters, such as fan favorites Cleo DeNile and Clawdeen Wolf, and go big with platform knee-high boots, whimsical makeup, and lots of layering.
