11 Blue Halloween Costume Ideas That Are Not The Blue M&M
These costumes *blue* my mind.
Coming up with a stellar Halloween costume idea is always a challenge. On a night when you can be anything or anyone, how are you supposed to choose just one idea? One way to make the decision just a little bit easier is by narrowing down your options. Pick a color palette and stick to it. While some people like it hot, others prefer life a little icy, and if you’re someone who likes to keep things cool — or at least cool-toned — then you’re really going to appreciate these blue Halloween costume ideas. Once you’ve found the shade that suits your style, the Halloween costume-picking process becomes so much easier.
Another spooky season rule that almost everyone can agree on is that Halloween is usually more fun if your costume is recognizable, so the blue Halloween costume ideas on this list are inspired by TV shows, books, and movies with major pop culture clout, even if they haven’t gone viral all that recently. (Spoiler alert: I will never stop recommending Harry Potter-themed Halloween costumes and I will not apologize.) Ready for the inspo? Ahead, my picks for best-in-shade blue Halloween costume ideas because having to pick out a costume shouldn’t be the scariest part of Halloween. And, hey, if all else fails, you can always wear jeans.

Cookie Monster From Sesame Street
The most low maintenance costume on this list is also the most customizable.

In fact, the most important accessory for this stress-free Cookie Monster costume is a cookie, so as long as you have that, you’re golden. Er, actually blue.
06
Fleur Delacour From Harry Potter
Who can forget the stylish Beauxbatons Academy of Magic uniforms from Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire?

A Cornish Pixie From Harry Potter

08
Neytiri From Avatar
If you’ve been waiting patiently for the sequel to Avatar, this Neytiri dress from FringeGeek on Etsy is a great way to express your excitement for what’s sure to be the movie event of the year.

09
Violet Beauregarde From Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
Looking for a low effort and comfy costume this Halloween? Enter Violet Beauregarde from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

11
Madeline From Madeline
Ready for a major throwback?
