The great thing about Halloween costumes is that they can be as simple or as elaborate as you want them to be. You can spend weeks DIYing the perfect individual or group Halloween costumes, or just throw your look together quickly with these last-minute Halloween costume ideas. If you want to go the easy route (which is not to say your costume will be any less amazing!), then you should definitely check out our picks for the best Halloween costumes with wigs. Whether you want to dress up as a classic monster like the Bride of Frankenstein, or a music icon like Cher or Dolly Parton, it all starts with the hair.

With the exception of the wig, which you can easily order on Amazon, many of these costumes can be pulled together with items you have at home. Looking to do a DIY Disney Halloween costume this year? Channel your inner villain and go as Cruella de Vil. All you'll need is the iconic black and white wig to pair with the black dress and pearls. Or you could go with a Grease Halloween costume: Beyond the blond wig, all you'll need to dress up as Sandy is an all-black outfit, a little red lipstick, and a lot of attitude. No matter who you choose to go as this Halloween, one thing's for sure: Everyone is going to wig out over your costume!

Cruella de Vil

Channel your inner Disney villain by going as deranged fashion designer Cruella de Vil. Her half-black, half-white hairdo is unmistakable and the key to pulling off any Cruella costume. Pair it with a black dress, red gloves, and a faux fur for a devilishly stylish look.
