We all know the classic saying, “every blonde needs a brunette;” Halloween is the perfect time to show off your juxtaposing yet complementary best friend with an iconic costume idea! Be prepared for spine-chilling, one-of-a-kind costume inspirations that will spark your spooky mood.
Blair and Serena
It is not shocking that the Blair and Serena pair is the first in the list; the most iconic blonde and brunette duo that was integral to every teenage girl’s life.
Serena with her carefree and scruffy yet maintained look, versus Blaire who is defined by her classy and put-together looks. Re-create Serena’s look with a loose tie, a plaid skirt, and an untucked tie that seems scruffy but ultimately still looks beautiful. On the other hand, sheer tights, a tucked-in shirt, and a headband are the epitome of Blair’s style.
Bratz Dolls
Bratz Dolls must come in pairs; what better way to do this than with a brunette and a blonde?
Spice up your outfits with a plethora of opposite colors highlighting the differentiating aspects between you and your best friend, whether punk versus girly or hipsters versus classy.
Regina and Gretchen
Throwing it back to the iconic Mean Girls movie would assuredly place you in the top 10 costumes of your Halloween. Pink is a must; keep that in mind.
Re-create the villain-like character and the head of plastics, Regina George, with a cut-out white tank top on the bra area and a pink cardigan to make the most iconic reference; real Mean Girls fans will detect it instantly. Your brunette can be metamorphosed into Regina’s minion Gretchen with a pink cardigan and a plaid skirt, keeping it simple not to look more glamorous than Regina.
Phoebe and Rachel
By far the cutest Halloween costume idea for a blonde and her brunette best friend from the most wholesome show, Friends.
Phoebe’s free-spirited style and energy should be clearly portrayed in your costume: either that’s through a guitar, long blonde hair, a colorful and funky dress, and even a stuffed cat if you want to take it to a whole new level. Loyal Friends fans certainly know the reference – hint: Smelly Cat. Transfigure your blond bestie into a Rachel with a central perk apron and a chic denim skirt to mirror her waiter persona.
Maddy and Cassie
Now shifting our focus to more recent film trends, recreating the dynamic yet turbulent duo of Maddy and Cassie would generate mouth-dropping reactions from your surrounding peers. Their outfits stand out, so be prepared to be a sighting for the night.
There’s no need to mention what Maddy’s archetypal pants are: black with cut-outs on the waist. Pair them with a halter top, and you will instantly be transformed into a rebellious Maddie Number 2. The instantaneous thought of Cassie’s outfit is her cow-print skirt with a light blue top; dress yourself up, and you’ll be in for a night full of surprises, just like Cassie’s.
And this brings the ultimate Halloween guide for iconic blonde and brunette duo costumes to an end. Ghostly greetings!
