"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Our favorite part of Halloween? Getting to transform into our favorite characters for a night of Halloween parties and trick-or-treating. Well, that along with the spooky Halloween treats and fun Halloween activities like carving pumpkins, of course. If you ended up at this page though, chances are you're trying to decide who exactly you should dress up as for the perfect DIY Halloween costumes—oh, and you likely have red hair! Either that or you're ready to go all out with wigs or red hair dye to complete your look. And given the fact that Ree Drummond herself has the prettiest red locks, we can't not provide you with a little inspo when it comes to Halloween costumes for redheads. On this list, you might even find a costume for The Pioneer Woman herself. 😆

Luckily, there are so many pop culture Halloween costumes for all you red-haired girls and ghouls! Think: beloved tv show characters like Kim Possible, Daphne Blake from Scooby Doo, and Wilma Flintstone as well as iconic movie characters like Princess Ariel, Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus, and The Queen of Hearts. Lean into the scarier side of Halloween by going as Pennywise the Clown or even Chucky. Of course, we've also included options for family Halloween costumes and best friend Halloween costumes. You can be Jessie from Toy Story while your family chooses other characters—or take on the persona of Lucy Ricardo while your bestie goes as Ethel. No matter which idea you go with on October 31, one thing is for sure: You're sure to learn that redheads definitely have more fun!
