Louise Belcher (Bob's Burgers)
The best character on the best show. Cause why am I crying watching Louise Belcher recite a poem that was supposed to be about poop?
Louise! Maybe my favorite character ever. I really wanna do this for Halloween, and as of right now I'm planning on crocheting her bunny ears, but all the rest I'm buying from this list.
Louise Belcher | Bob's Burgers
I hate Shein but this was kind of a perfect cute Louise Belcher top. I spent so long looking for just the right shade of green and matching bottoms, and this was the best option. Obviously 9 year old Louise would never wear this, but let's just prete...
Sage Green Halter Top
So proud of finding a top and a skirt that match exactly. This skirt looks comfy and moveable, perfect for chasing Logan.
Sage Green High Waisted Pencil Skirt
There's no Louise Belcher without her ears.
Bob's Burgers Louise Bunny Beanie
Princess Mia Thermopolis (The Princess Diaries)
Cause who doesn't love the Princess Diaries?
I've seen a lot of people who are doing this one this year, but Mia's such an icon that its ok.
Mia Thermopolis - Princess Diaries
The perfect white dress for Mia. It's flexible while still holding everything in place.
Square Neck Sleeveless Mini Dress
Mia's iconic knee-length boots that can last you all night.
Black Knee High Platform Boots
The part of this costume that makes it recognizable. Cheap and also usable beyond Halloween.
Koss KPH7 Lightweight Portable Headphone, Black
These are lowkey in style right now, so use Mia Thermopolis as your excuse to buy them and wear them out.
Oval 90s Sunglasses
Putting the Princess in Princess Mia Thermopolis
Princess Tiara
Fancy Nancy
By far the most chaotically perfect Halloween costume ever. Fancy Nancy actually raised me.
One of my favorite costumes I've seen so far. Its so fun and she has such a chaotic wardrobe that you can really add your own spin on the costume.
Watch Fancy Nancy
Another Shein one I know I know. Just the perfect shade of purple for Ms. Fancy. The lace also is 100% something she would wear.
Purple Lace Halter Top
Last Shein thing I swear. Fancy Nancy would make these shorts out of her curtains and wear them every single day.
White Lace Shorts
Fancy Nancy's iconic socks that I would actually wear on a regular basis.
Heart Pattern Crew Socks – 3 Pairs
A little pricey, but useful for more than just Fancy Nancy.
Low Chunky Heel Mary Jane Pumps
These sunglasses are what makes the Fancy Nancy costume.
Vintage Cat Eye Sunglasses
This link will take you to the scarf in a million different colors, but I think these three are the ones Fancy Nancy would most likely tie to her waist like a train. The first picture is “floral butterflies hot pink,” the second is “tulips yellow,” and the third is “blossom pink.” The second and third ones are the closest to the reference picture I was using, but the first one feels the most Fancy Nancy, so take your pick.
Silk Floral Scarves
Tie that ribbon in a giant bow around your waste Fancy Nancy!
FAKILO Red Satin Ribbon 4 Inch x 22 yd
Miss Nancy would have so many butterfly clips.
50 Pcs Butterfly Pastel Hair Clips Mini
The chaotic accessories are the most important part of this costume, so pile them on thick.
Mardi Gras Beads, 12PCS Purple Bead Necklace
Our girl would wear these hair tinsels every single day.
Hair Tinsel 12 Pcs Colorful 20 Inch Clips
The same as the Mia Thermopolis crown, so reduce, reuse, recycle, etc.
Princess Tiara
Todd (Jury Duty)
If you're willing to put in some work, this one is so fun.
Jury Duty is such a great show, if you haven't seen it yet go watch it right now. Todd is probably my favorite character on the show and his scene with the chants was so adorable. This is a super niche costume that most people probably won't get, but...
Todd's Chair Pants | Jury Duty
Ok so I'm thinking just saw these bad boys in half and attach them to a harness? You could also attach a little cushion to your butt if you're worried it will get uncomfortable. I don't think they would be usable as actual chair pants, but they'd loo...
Child Crutch, Push-Button Height Adj, 4'-4'6"
Him trying to sit in the bus is so funny and the way the harness is 100% cutting off his circulation is really what makes that scene.
NewDoar Climbing Harness for Rock Climbing
Todd's little sports coat that he throws over his head while he's in the corner trying to take off the chants. It won't show you when you click on the link, but these are $29.99.
WEEN CHARM Men's Slim Fit Corduroy Sport Coat
This is the shirt he's wearing under the sports jacket. You can see it clearer in the scene where he tries to go through the metal detectors.
COOFANDY Men's Casual Long Sleeve Denim Shirt
Can't forget the most forgettable pair of pants in the world.
PLEPAN Men's Khaki Stretch Waist Chinos
I think I would genuinely wear these pretty regularly, so good for more than just Todd. They're cheap and they actually look so comfy.
Damyuan Mens Lightweight Athletic Running Shoes
Can't forget Todd's hydration pack so he can stay hydrated like a king!
Military-Grade Hydration Backpack, 3L Water Reservoir Pack with Insulated Flow Tube, Tactical Outdoor Gear for Hiking Camping Cycling, Adjustable Padded Straps, Weather-Resistant Pack
In case you weren't naturally blessed with Todd's beautiful hair, here's a wig.
Beweig Men Short Orange Synthetic Wig
Sharpay Evans (High School Musical)
The icon herself. I have a few different ideas that could be mixed and matched so bear with me.
If you scroll through these pics you'll see all of my favorite outfits of her's (my favorite one is the blue and purple top with the purple headband, but I can't find any tops like this). I tried to include links on this list to similar clothes or th...
Sharpay Evans | High School Musical
This one is the closest I can find to the blue and purple one she's wearing in the first reference pic. I think she would definitely wear this, and it would fit perfectly with the rest of that outfit.
Verdusa Women's Y2k Mesh Floral Babydoll Top
Sharpay would wear the white one with like a sparkly jacket or something similar.
SOLY HUX Women's Rhinestone Y2K Crop Top
I could see her wearing this with like a knee length low waist white or hot pink skirt.
SHENHE Women's Sparkly Sequin Halter Top
This with tight white jeans would be so Sharpay.
SweatyRocks Women's Sequin Mesh Floral Halter Top
A little basic but add a sparkly jacket or a sequin skirt and this is perfect.
WDIRARA Women's Rhinestone Racerback Crop Top
These would go with pretty much any of the tops.
Hybrid & Co Womens Hyper Ultra Stretch Pants
Of course Sharpay would wear a pink sequin skirt. This would go great with the butterfly top.
Sequin Bodycon Mini Skirt Women Sparkly
Same as the pink one, but she would for sure also have a silver one.
Sequin Bodycon Mini Skirt Women Y2K
Sharpay wears basically this exact hat I think in the first movie. Would look great with lots of layers, and its perfect if it gets cold where you live on Halloween (not freaking Georgia).
Cream Newsboy Hat Cream News boy Off White Newsboy Off White News boy Ivory Newsboy Ivory newsboy cream knit cap with visor white newsboy
Really cute, simple going out fit. You might freeze though if you live somewhere cold so wear with a long fur coat.
SHENHE Women's Sheer Mesh Crop Top & Skirt
So Sharpay woah.
Josefina Faux Fur Detail Jacket Blue
Um ok adorable. Perfect for Sharpay and also just perfect.
Current Mood Vegan Leather Coat With Faux Fur Trim - Black
Sharpay would 100% wear these. The little star on the side fits her so well.
Dollger Y2K Wrap Around Rimless Sunglasses
The most perfect Sharpay boots ever. I just know she's obsessed with knee length white boots like these.
DREAM PAIRS Women's Chunky Heel Knee High Boots
She always has so many chunky bracelets so these are perfect.
NEON NATION 3 Pack Cheetah Print Bangles
Sharpay would love this bracelet. I feel like she'd wear it so often.
jianxi Women's Antique Argentium Heart Turquoise Cuff
This one might be a little too chaotic for Sharpay but I don't know I feel like she could pull it off.
QIAN0813 Boho Multilayer Agate Beads Bracelet
PJ (Bottoms; the movie not like Pajama bottoms)
Super simple, but super fun. Now go murder a football team!
Ok we love a problematic queen. This green outfit is probably the easiest and most recognizable one for her. And its comfy so you don't have to worry about changing halfway through the night. If you wanted to do a cute little duo costume, her and Jos...
Bottoms (2023)
This is the closest I could find to PJ's shirt from the movie cover. It's the right color, its just missing the dark green pockets and collar.
Lime green mesh crop top
These are pretty much the exact pants she's wearing in the movie cover.
Trendy Fashion Finds at SHEIN USA
That girl definitely has some airforce one dupes.

Pretty close to the polo shirt she wears in the fight club scene.
Brown & Red Striped Rugby Polo
Her baggy brown pants from the fight club scene.
Baggy brown corduroy pants
Just a basic pair of black sneakers.
ZGPWZWL Mens Lightweight Running Sneakers
Josie (Bottoms)
The literal sweetest angel.
If you wanted to do a Josie and PJ duo costume!
Josie | Bottoms
So this is technically a kids shirt, but it goes up to “16 years” so I think it would still work.
Buy Blue/White Long Sleeve Rugby 100% Cotton Polo Shirt (3-16yrs) from Next USA
Josie's baggy khakis corduroy pants from the fight club scene.
Motel tan corduroy pants with a baggy fit #corduroy
The same as the airforce dupes in PJ's section, but I think Josie would have matching ones.
