10. Pink Ladies Grease Costume Jacket
| Kid's T-Birds Costume | Adult Pink Ladies Costume | Adult T-Birds Costume | Kid's Pink Ladies Costume |
Grease is still the word, and our Pink Ladies jacket proves it. This easy, iconic topper lets your crew become Rizzo, Frenchy, Jan, or Marty in minutes. Or channel the sequel's Stephanie, Sharon, Paulette, and Rhonda for extra flair. It made its biggest splash in 2016 and has stayed a go-to for group looks ever since. With Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies revving nostalgia again, it's the perfect time to build your squad and cruise into Halloween like it's 1959.
9. Westley Costume from The Princess Bride
| Inigo Montoya Costume | Dread Pirate Roberts Costume |
Need more story from The Princess Bride? As you wish! Westley, a.k.a. the Dread Pirate Roberts, swept into our hearts and our carts as one of the standout Made By Us licenses. The look surged in 2019 and hasn't stopped fencing for the top ever since, answering shoppers' fairy-tale wishes with a swashbuckling mask, sash, and smirk. Whether you're romancing Buttercup or besting Inigo Montoya, this costume delivers storybook charm, quotable vibes, and just enough mystery to make any Halloween miracle true love.
8. Marty McFly Costume from Back to the Future
| Adult Jennifer Parker Costume | Toddler Doc Brown Costume | Adult Marty McFly Costume |
Back to the Future remains a time-tested favorite. One of our earliest licenses, this Marty McFly outfit is an '80s all-star that hit 88 mph in 2014 and accelerated in 2015 when our Light-Up Shoes and Hoverboard accessories arrived to complete the BTTF II fantasy. The layered vest, denim, and attitude are pure retro fun, and the add-ons make it feel like you stepped out of the future (or past). When October rolls around, this pick is always ready for one more temporal jump.
7. Forrest Gump Costume
| Forrest Gump Running Costume | Forrest Gump Jenny Costume |
"Run, Forrest, run!" Well, he ran straight into Halloween legend. Our Forrest Gump costumes have been jogging along since the start, but they really found a second wind in 2020. Maybe it's the hippie beard, those bright red running shorts, or the irresistible optimism that keeps folks lacing up their sneakers. From Bubba Gump devotee to shrimp-boat captain, this outfit proves that classic Americana and big-hearted sincerity never go out of style.
6. Cher Costume from Clueless
| Cher Horowitz Costume | Clueless Dee Costume | Clueless Tai Costume |
Are movie costumes popular? As if we even have to ask. Cher Horowitz's sunshine-yellow set from Clueless brings instant '90s style, razor-sharp smarts, and queen-bee attitude. Since 2018, it's been a top pick for Betties and Baldwins alike, turning hallways into runways and every party into a makeover montage. The look is easy to wear, instantly recognizable, and endlessly quotable. Proof that a matching set and a confident "ugh, as if!" is timeless fashion.
5. Deluxe Ghostbuster Costume
| Kid's Ghostbusters Costume | Women's Ghostbusters Costume | Deluxe Men's Ghostbusters Costume | Girl's Ghostbusters Costume Dress |
Who ya gonna call for costumes that consistently leap into the spotlight? Ghostbusters, of course! For nostalgia-seekers or brand new fans, our licensed Deluxe Ghostbuster suits keep topping the charts. Both adult and kids styles have been busting their way into best-seller territory since 2019, claiming top spot in 2024. Jumpsuits, name patches, and proton-pack vibes make squad costumes a cinch and our giant Ghostbusters décor and animatronics haunting neighborhood lawns haven't hurt either.
4. Macho Man Randy Savage Costume
| Mankind Costume | Hulk Hogan Costume | Macho Man Costume | Undertaker Costume | Kane Costume |
Oooh yeah! Macho Man Randy Savage strutted into the ring and claimed the belt in 2017, then kept dropping elbows on the competition year after year. Those fringed arm streamers, neon colors, and unmistakable shades turn every entrance into a title match. Whether you're cutting promos or posing for photos, this look pins the nostalgia meter and the fun factor. Snap into the vibe, brother, because this is an over-the-top crowd-pleaser that never throws in the towel, even when up against our other WWE costumes!
3. A League of Their Own Costumes
| Coach Jimmy Dugan Costume | Dottie Hinson Costume |
There's no crying in Halloween. Just cheers for A League of Their Own. Our licensed collection has been in the lineup for over a decade, with Dottie and Jimmy frequently batting cleanup. Popularity really knocked it out of the park in 2021, and the momentum keeps swinging. With sizes for kids and adults, coaches and players, it's a natural for couples, families, and teams. Lace up the cleats, pull on the cap, and get ready to steal home in a uniform look for Halloween!
2. Prestige Ursula Costume from The Little Mermaid
| Flounder Costumes | Sebastian Costume | Ariel Costumes | King Triton Costumes | Prestige Ursula Costume |
Those poor unfortunate souls… who don't claim an amazing Ursula outfit. Our most popular Ursula costume pairs a sheer top with a billowing inflatable tentacle skirt to summon instant deep-sea drama for any Little Mermaid costume scene. 2022 was her coronation year, but Ursula resurfaces every season to rule the costume seas. Bold, theatrical, and selfie-ready, it's a Disney Villain look with serious main-character energy. Add a wicked grin and splash of glitter to have the poor dears signing on the dotted line.

1. Toddler Spider-Man Costume
| Marvel Spider-Man Costume | Ghost Spider Costume | Spider-Man Toddler Costume | Miles Morales Costumes |
The tiny hero takes the trophy!
