Ten 90's inspired Halloween costume ideas.

Where are my 90s kids?? (OK, I was mostly an 80s kid, but we aren’t aging people here.)

When I think of Halloween, I immediately think of my childhood Halloween costumes. Some of my most memorable were Punk Rocker, Vampire, Witch, Strawberry Shortcake, Green Alien, and Jem (of Jem and the Holograms).

We’re seeing several 90s trends return. With that, some 90s inspired costumes will be out and about this October. Need some inspo? I gotcha!

Ten 90's inspired Halloween costume ideas:

  1. Spice Girls: Dress up as your favorite Spice Girl from the iconic British girl group of the 90s. Choose from Baby Spice, Sporty Spice, Ginger Spice, Scary Spice, or Posh Spice.

  2. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Channel your inner Will Smith and dress up as the stylish and cool character from the popular sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Think colorful 90s fashion, backward caps, and oversized clothing.

  3. Clueless: Embrace the fashion-forward style of Cher and Dionne from the cult classic movie "Clueless." Opt for plaid skirts, knee-high socks, crop tops, and fluffy pens. (Scroll down for my kiddo inspired by Cher. “UGH…AS IF!!!”)

  4. Saved by the Bell: Get inspired by the characters of the popular teen sitcom "Saved by the Bell." Dress up as Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski, A.C. Slater, or Lisa Turtle and recreate their iconic 90s fashion.

  5. Turtles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Transform into Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, or Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Don their colorful masks, shell-like costumes, and wield their signature weapons.

  6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Pay homage to the iconic vampire slayer from the 90s TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Dress up in a stylish yet tough outfit with a leather jacket and carry a wooden stake.

  7. Austin Powers: Embrace the groovy style of the international man of mystery, Austin Powers. Think colorful suits, frilly shirts, and oversized glasses.

  8. 90s Hip Hop Star: Take inspiration from the 90s hip hop scene and dress up as a legendary rapper like Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., or Missy Elliott. Sport baggy clothes, bucket hats, and bold jewelry.

  9. The Craft: Channel the witchy vibes of the 90s movie "The Craft." Dress up as one of the main characters, such as Sarah, Nancy, Bonnie, or Rochelle, and rock a grunge-inspired look with dark makeup and witchy accessories.

  10. X-Files Agents: Pay tribute to Mulder and Scully from the popular 90s TV series "The X-Files." Dress up as FBI agents and carry a flashlight or a fake ID badge.

These 90s-inspired Halloween costume ideas will take you back to the iconic pop culture moments of that era. Have fun embracing the nostalgia and enjoy your Halloween festivities! If you dress up in a 90s inspired costume, I want to see it! Post on Instagram and tag me @AutumnEverAfter.
