Including picks inspired by “Toy Story” and “The Odyssey”
I somehow find myself scrambling each year to throw together a last-minute Halloween costume, which often leaves much to be desired.
This year, I’m breaking my bad habit once and for all and securing my costume early, so I don’t have to worry about shipping times and can grab my top pick while it’s still in stock. Rather than hunting through the racks at Spirit Halloween, I’m browsing Amazon’s pages of options that can ship to my door in a matter of days and start at just $13.
Join me in checking “acquire Halloween costume” off your to-do list early this season, with these 10 costumes inspired by decades past, recent movies, and more.

Uqje Greek Toga Costume
$33 $30 at Amazon
All of the buzz around The Odyssey renewed my fascination with ancient Greco-Roman culture, which brings this Athena-inspired frock to the top of my list of potential costumes. The set includes a white dress with a flowing cape and gold cord accents, gold armbands, and a gilded leaf browband to complete the look.
“The dress is well made, true to size, comfortable to wear, and machine washable,” one reviewer shared, noting that the “wrinkle-free” fabric was an “added bonus.” Goddesses don’t need to iron, right?
Acostop Cruella de Vil Costume, $25 with coupon
$30 $25 at Amazon
With limited sizing options, Halloween costumes are not always the most flattering. That’s why I’m eyeing an accessory-first costume like this that I can easily pair with pieces already in my closet, like a plain black T-shirt and black pants or a dress.
These pieces, including a split-dyed wig, (faux) dalmation fur coat, red gloves, pearls, and a cigarette holder, are so distinguishable that everyone will know exactly who you’re dressed up as, no matter what you choose to wear underneath. “The materials were sturdy and well-made, so I didn’t have to worry about it falling apart during the night,” one shopper shared.

Leadtex 1950s Sock Hop Costume
$25 at Amazon
A classic sock hop costume never fails, especially when the skirt is this twirl-worthy. Available in pink, red, purple, and blue, it’s the ideal pick to rally your friends for a low-effort group costume. The costume includes a poodle skirt, cat-eye glasses, a neck scarf, and frilly foldover socks, so all you need to complete the look is a plain T-shirt in a neutral or coordinating color.
Don’t leave yourself scrambling at the last minute! Grab your Halloween costume now, while your favorite theme (and your size) is still in stock. Then keep scrolling for more costume ideas at Amazon.
