[PHOTOS] 9 Cute Group Halloween Costume Ideas For You & Your Besties
Now you don't have to look so lonely.
1. Codename: Kids Next Door
If you grew up in the early 2000s and spent your weekends watching Cartoon Network, you'll recall these five colourful spies kicking butt with their cool gadgets and swagger. Whether you identify with Numbuh 1's calm leader energy or Numbuh 3's bubbly personality, there is a character for every member of your friend group to be this Halloween!
2. Barbie
Following Greta Gerwig's 2023 international blockbuster film, Barbie, we can already predict that many couples will dress up as Barbie and Ken for Halloween this year. But why settle for a typical couple costume when your entire group can dress up as different Barbies from the film? From Dua Lipa's Mermaid Barbie to Kate McKinnon's Weird Barbie, it's time to call your girlfriends and live out your Barbieland fantasies!

3. The Addams Family
Horror movie fans, rejoice!
We can't truly celebrate Halloween unless we mention everyone's favourite spooky and campy family, the Addams. With the release of Netflix's Wednesday late last year, we predict that many fans will dress up as the popular pigtail goth princess, but why not get the whole group together and dress up as the entire family?
Their costumes are also not difficult to put together. Morticia needs a long black wig and dress. Wednesday needs a black schoolgirl blazer and a long skirt, and Gomez just needs a suit.

4. Totally Spies!
This trio costume is perfect for the friend group where all the members are characteristically different. The smart one can be Sam, the bubbly one Alex, and the gullible yet feisty one can be Clover. You can also bring along fun props to complete the look, such as a hairdryer, lipstick, and a compact powder.

5. Scooby Doo
Another popular animated series that is still being remade today, the characters of Scooby Doo are all easily recognisable with their colourful scheme and iconic fashion pieces. Daphne requires only a purple dress, an orange wig, and a green scarf, whereas Velma requires an orange turtleneck sweater, skirt, long socks, and glasses. Fred is also ideal for your squad's beloved himbo!

6. Ghostbusters
If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
This iconic '80s animated television show and its live-action adaptation is so popular that Stranger Things' Mike Wheeler and his friends dressed up as the Ghostbusters for Halloween in the second season of the Netflix series.
The Ghostbusters costume, just like how it was interpreted by Mike and his pals, is perfect for larger friend groups, and is also comfortable to run in, so you don't have to worry about getting down on the dance floor at Halloween parties.

7. Stranger Things
Speaking of Mike and his friends, how about dressing up as characters from Stranger Things with your besties?
There are numerous iconic costumes and moments from the television show to choose from, each bringing out the distinct flavours and funkiness of the 1980s. You can also try on different characters' unique hairstyles, but if you're too lazy to do your hair, just put on a cheap blonde wig like Eleven!
8. The Powerpuff Girls
It's impossible to discuss iconic Cartoon Network animated television shows without mentioning The Powerpuff Girls. Similar to Totally Spies, the three main characters in this show each have their own distinct personalities and are distinguished by their signature colours: Blossom with pink, Bubbles with blue, and Buttercup with green.
But you're not limited to just dressing up as the three superheroes, as there are other iconic characters in the show that are all recognisable and will surely turn heads, including HIM, Miss Sara Bellum, and Princess Morbucks.
Sugar, spice, and Blossom's costume can be found here.
9. Mean Girls
Stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen!
Wrapping up this list is everyone's favourite 2000s coming-of-age film, Mean Girls. When we talk about dressing up as characters from this movie, the Plastics easily come to mind. But there are so many memorable scenes from this group, all with equally as unforgettable outfits, such as their Christmas performance costume, their gym clothes, and Karen's iconic, "I'm a mouse, duh," Halloween costume.
You can also bring along a burn book prop with you to truly set the scene.
Whatever group costume you choose from the movie, make sure to shout some of the film's most hilarious catchphrases and punchlines with your girlfriends!
