Hey beauties, it's Jackie! 🎀 🎃 💅 Halloween is just around the corner, and I couldn't be more excited to share some of my all-time favorite girly pop culture costumes with you. This year, we're taking inspiration from some of the most iconic looks in film, TV, and music that are perfect for channeling your inner diva. Whether you're feeling nostalgic for the 90s or want to step into the shoes of today's top pop stars, I've got full-length tutorials on my YouTube channel that break down all the makeup, hair, and outfit details.

The best part? These looks are not just for Halloween—they're super wearable all year round (well, maybe not all the outfits, lol). Let's dive in and find the perfect costume to make your Halloween unforgettable.

✨ Britney Spears "…Baby One More Time" 🎀

We can't have a list of girly halloween costumes without bringing back the 90s with the ultimate schoolgirl look inspired by Britney Spears' iconic music video. Think pink fluffy hair ties, two high braided pigtails, and a classic smokey eye. Finish off with a grey cardigan, black pleated mini skirt, and knee-high socks for the ultimate nostalgia moment. I recreated Britney's makeup with silver shimmers and bold lip liner to capture her bold yet innocent vibe.

For my photo, I used generative AI to create my background of 90s school lockers for that extra touch of nostalgia magic—check out my full tutorial to get the look below! Did you know Britney herself played a significant role in choosing the iconic schoolgirl outfit, which came together with affordable pieces that became a part of the video's charm? ICONIC!

✨ Margot Robbie as Barbie – 'Barbie Movie' 👱

Pop culture costumes and Barbie dolls go hand in hand! Bring back barbiecore summer by channeling your inner Barbie with Margot Robbie's bright and bubbly take on everyone's favorite doll. This costume is all about the vibrant pinks and over-the-top hair and accessories. Think voluminous hair in a half up half down style, a pop of subtle pink in the eyeshadow, cheeks, and lips, and a doll-like shine to the skin. Add some chunky accessories to a pink gingham dress or 90's roller skate barbie style, and you're ready to live your best Barbie dreamhouse life. My tutorial covering the full makeup breakdown, hair, outfits, and the best Barbie collabs below.

✨ Halle Bailey as Ariel – 'The Little Mermaid' 🐚

Make a splash this Halloween as the enchanting Ariel from the live-action 'The Little Mermaid.' Halle Bailey's modern take on the classic Disney princess includes soft beachy waves, a rose-gold hair tint, and natural, glowing makeup with bronzed tones. Add some rope braids, a thick pink headband, and pearls to capture Ariel's whimsical ocean vibes along with a light blue dress, points for a vintage princess aesthetic! Check out my full-length tutorial for all the steps to achieve this stunning mermaid transformation. I've linked some beautiful Ariel Little Mermaid costumes from Etsy I found as well.

✨ Francesca Bridgerton – 'Bridgerton' 🫖

For a costume that combines regency elegance with modern flair, look no further than Francesca Bridgerton. With soft updos, romantic curls, and delicate makeup featuring soft pink tones, this look is perfect for those wanting to channel a high-society aesthetic. Add some pearl accessories and a Regency-style dress to fully capture Francesca's refined yet youthful vibe. This Bridgerton Halloween Outfit / costume is perfect for a girly Halloween soirée or tea party, and I have all the hair and makeup deets on my channel along with various Bridgerton tutorials throughout the seasons so far.

✨ Taylor Swift's "Betty" 🍂

Step into folklore with Taylor Swift's "Betty" look inspired by her album "Folklore". This cozy autumnal aesthetic features tousled hair in two low pigtail buns, soft makeup, and the iconic Taylor Swift cardigan, perfect for the fall season. I love using warm, muted tones on the eyes and a rustic-stained lip to create a look that's effortlessly chic. Pair with a knit cardigan, plaid skirt, and vintage accessories to capture that dreamy, cottagecore vibe. See it as either a Taylor Swift Folklore costume, or just a great fall outfit!

✨ YSL 1999 Haute Couture Bride 🌸

For a more glamorous Halloween twist, channel the drama and elegance of YSL's 1999 Haute Couture Bride. This look is all about the high-fashion bridal fantasy with tousled curls and romantic pink makeup. Complete the look with an extravagant DIY recreation of the YSL floral bride to really nail that runway-ready feel. My tutorial covers the high-glam makeup, and tips to DIY this look for a dramatic Halloween statement. Got to love DIY Halloween costumes!

✨ Audrey Hepburn – 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' 🥐

An all-time classic, Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly is the epitome of girly sophistication. With her chic updo, statement pearl necklace, and iconic little black dress, this look is perfect for a timeless and effortlessly elegant Halloween costume. My makeup tutorial focuses on Audrey's signature winged liner and soft pink lip, while this updated tutorial gives two beautiful 60s hairstyles to try, ensuring you capture her classic beauty. You might as well treat yourself to the iconic sleeping mask while you're browsing for an Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's costume!

✨ Original Barbie – 1950s Glam 🖤

For a Barbie look with a vintage twist, channel the iconic 1950s black and white bathing suit Barbie style. This classic version of Barbie is all about retro glamour, and I took styling cues from the Barbie movie, but added a personal touch with my brunette hair this time. While I didn't film a full tutorial for this look, my classic red lip and winged liner tutorial is the perfect match to recreate this timeless, vintage vibe.
