Ursula the Sea Witch and Toddler Ariel Costume
Cutest Mother-Daughter Costume for Disney Fans
Has your little one seen The Little Mermaid — both the original animated film and the live-action movie — more times than you can count? If your daughter is singing the words to the hit song “Under the Sea” in almost every car ride, we think this Ursula and Ariel ensemble is the perfect Halloween costume for you two.
Whether she decides to wear Ariel’s fins from the animated series or dance around in this beautiful iridescent blue and purple fin dress from the live-action Disney movie, both costumes are totally princess-worthy.
‘Descendants’ Maleficent and Mal Costume
Best for Matching Your Preteen Daughter
Though you and your daughter may not be the most feared villains on the block, the two of you can show off your dark side this Halloween with this mother-daughter costume inspired by Disney Channel’s hit trilogy, Descendants.
Dress up as the evil Maleficent and have your preteen daughter rock Mal’s signature purple style — and even her vivid hair color.
We wouldn’t be surprised if your daughter asks you to lip-sync “Rotten to the Core” with her in her next TikTok video.
Wednesday and Morticia Addams Costumes
Most Iconic Mother-Daughter Duo
Let’s face it, there is not a more iconic mother-daughter duo than Morticia and Wednesday Addams. The ghoulish girls are total icons when it comes to fashion, witchcraft, and, well, all things creepy.
Though Wednesday and Morticia costumes are already popular Halloween options, we expect young girls will want to dress up as Wednesday from the hit Netflix television series. This cool black dress is similar to the one Jenna Ortega’s character wore to Nevermore Academy's school dance. Did your daughter already memorize the dance?
Plus, if you’re a mom who frequently dresses in black — you know who you are — this Morticia costume is the perfect Halloween outfit for you.
Avengers Costumes
Best for Big Families
“Avengers, assemble!”
If you have a big family of rowdy kids who love pretending they’re superheroes, dressing as Marvel’s Avengers is a great Halloween choice. No matter your kids’ age differences, they will all be excited to dress as the world’s greatest superheroes.
Plus, your kids will not be the only ones fighting Thanos on Halloween night — get in on the fun and dress as Black Widow. These Marvel costumes are a great idea for moms with more than one kid.
Matching Bumble Bee Costumes
Best Buzzworthy Costumes
The buzz about these matching costumes is that they’re so adorable. With a cute striped skirt and wings, this bumblebee costume is easy to throw over your child’s everyday clothes. Not all costumes have to be elaborate or expensive to catch our eyes — sometimes, they can just be heartwarmingly sweet.
Chef and Lobster Costume
Best Baby Carrier Costume
What’s cooking?! If your baby will be strapped to your chest on Halloween because you will be walking around your neighborhood trick-or-treating with your other kids or with family members, we suggest you make your baby carrier part of your costume. The chef's apron is a hassle-free costume for any mom. Aside from the apron fitting comfortably around your waist, any accidental spills or stains that end up on the apron will blend in with the costume idea. We think it’s a win-win!
As for the baby lobster costume, the cover actually fits over your baby carrier, so your child doesn’t have to be in a costume all night. This costume idea is the total chef’s kiss.
Cat in the Hat Matching Costumes
Best for Matching Your Twins
If you are the proud mom of twins, dress up as the classic Dr. Seuss characters from The Cat in the Hat. The red Thing 1 and Thing 2 onesies are super comfortable for any kid, no matter their age. Plus, the cozy costume will certainly keep them warm throughout their trick-or-treating adventures.
You can also match your twins’ costumes by dressing as the title character. This Cat in the Hat costume kit comes with a felt patch to stick onto any black top, a big red bowtie, and a striped red and white hat.
Chucky and Tiffany Costume
Scariest Costume
Lean into the horror theme this Halloween season and dress as the killer duo, Chucky and Tiffany. Since their first appearance in the classic 1998 horror movie Bride of Chucky, Tiff and Chucky’s iconic costumes have become staples during the Halloween season.
Though the Chucky movies are not for everyone, some parents and kids bond over their love of all things scary, or as a mom, you are a horror movie buff who just loves the idea of dressing your baby up as a killer doll. Either way, this mother-son costume is scary good.
