The 15 Most Popular Halloween Costumes With Blonde Hair

There's a cliché that claims blondes have more fun, and whether you're a natural blonde or not, there's no time more appropriate to test this theory than Halloween. With inspiration from iconic television characters like Daenerys Targaryen to real-life icons like Britney Spears and celebrities just doing Halloween right (we're looking at you, Winnie Harlow), blonde hair or a good blonde wig makes for plenty of fun, instantly recognizable Halloween costumes.

As I'm a natural brunette with a fear of bleaching my hair, Halloween provides the perfect excuse to satisfy my longing for blonde beachy waves. This year, use your blonde locks as inspiration for your costume, or run to the store to grab a wig. Whether you're looking for a costume you can throw together with the pieces in your closet or hoping to put your creative skills to the test, we have 15 popular Halloween costumes with blonde hair that range from easy to expert.

There are so many iconic Britney Spears looks, but her "I'm a Slave 4 U" performance at the 2001 VMAs is one of the most memorable. If you're down for a little DIY project and lots of compliments, this is the costume for you.

Mia Grey is Christian Grey's more exciting, fun, and eccentric sister. Rita Ora steals the show as Mia in Fifty Shades of Grey, and you're sure to steal the show in this costume. With a dress this chic, you can rewear it year-round.

Cher Horowitz is a feminist icon, in my opinion, and will never stop being a relevant Halloween costume.

I aspire to dress in all black with Venti Starbucks Americanos like the Olsen sisters on a daily basis, but Halloween seems like a good time to start.

Harley Quinn

I rewatch Gossip Girl every year, and despite being a brunette, I would happily throw on a blonde wig to have my chance to be golden girl Serena VDW.
