12 Green-Dress Halloween Costume Ideas

While Halloween is fun to celebrate, the holiday does present a dilemma: picking the right costume. One of the best ways you can conquer this feat is to base your look around a theme or color. A red-dress Halloween costume might seem like the obvious choice given that it’s such a prominent color for the autumnal season, but we think that a green-dress Halloween costume is actually the key style to standing out this spooky season.

Creating a Halloween costume with a green dress is easier than you think. You can go for the Tinkerbell fairy look, with a daring, metallic dress and a set of wings. Or consider a vintage gown with gold detailing, like cartoon-favorite-character Fiona from “Shrek.” Other popular green-dress costume ideas include a “Top Gun” flight dress, an elf, and the classic Winnie Sanderson from “Hocus Pocus.”

In case you want to go with an unconventional ensemble, you can grab a bandeau dress and yellow body paint to channel Marge Simpson from “The Simpsons,” like Lizzo and Cardi B, or a sculptural maxi like Beyoncé’s Norma Kamali gown from her “Spirit” video.
