Raven from Teen Titans
Raven is such a cool character in Teen Titans, known both for her awesome powers and her bright purple hair. Wear a black long-sleeve leotard with a flowing purple cape and combat boots to copy her ~lewk.~
Lil Kim at the 1999 VMA’s
This was an iconic VMA look that will always be remembered. Either DIY your own skin-baring costume or find a replica of the jumpsuit, but just make sure it matches your purple hair.
Vice-Admiral Holdo from The Last Jedi
A beige bodycon dress with a turtleneck will transform you into Laura Dern—uh, we mean Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo. Also, the waves in her lilac hair are downright perfect?!
Jessie J at a 2011 Festival
There’s nothing quite as iconic as rockin’ a bright purple bob with bangs, sportin’ a colorful, fringe jumpsuit. 2011 Jessie J was a vibe.
Katy Perry at the 2015 Grammy Awards
Katy Perry is the queen of purple hair, so you’ll see her again on this list below. In 2015, she hit the red carpet with purple hair and a dress drippin’ in crystals. No, you don’t actually need a crystal dress—a silver shiny one with a little sparkle will do.
Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop
Still not over the fact that Netflix canceled Cowboy Bebop? Then take on Faye Valentine this Halloween with her trademark golden two-piece jumpsuit (and see if you can get your partner to dress up as Spike Spiegel).
Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy
This Guardian of the Galaxy has the coolest leather costume and weapons to fight evil in space. Paint your body green, and your skin will complement the vivid hair color perfectly.
Psylocke from X Men: Apocolypse
This villain’s hair isn’t totally purple but it has highlights in the shade. Don a cutout leather bodysuit and gloves and show off your fighting moves for Halloween.
Unicorn
Put your hair in a high pony, dress in all white, and add a sparkly horn to become a pretty lil unicorn for the night.
Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino
And if you wanna earn bonus points for creativity, you can get real crafty and dress up as the infamous Unicorn Frappuccino from Starbucks instead.
Katy Perry from “California Gurls”
Throw on a candy-embellished top, a colorful tutu, a heart headband, and some purple tights, and you’ll look just like Katy Perry from the “California Gurls” music video.
Reggie Rocket from Rocket Power
This cartoon character knows how to rock purple hair. Red sunnies, a pink shirt, and cargo pants finish off the ‘fit so you can be as cool as Reggie for the night.
Mal from Descendants
Dove Cameron plays Queen Maleficent “Mal” Bertha on this Disney show and sports deep purple hair. If you’re a fan of the series, then why not try to recreate her costume?
Megan Rapinoe at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final
With the help of a white soccer uniform and a gold metal, you can become everyone’s fave purple-haired soccer star Megan Rapinoe.
Troll Doll
Throw it back to the ’90s by dressing up as a purple-haired troll doll, complete with a lil belly button jewel.
Turanga Leela from Futurama
Wanna dress up as the one-eyed captain of the Planet Express Ship? You just need a white tank, tight black pants, combat boots, and Leela’s trademark single-eye and purple ponytail.
Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
This fun flick’s main character definitely has a signature look with her colored hair and goggles. Add a sweatshirt under a green jacket and you’ll look exactly like the type to steal Scott Pilgrim’s heart.
Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass
You don’t wanna mess with this girl. A plaid skirt, leather jacket, and eye mask will help you nail the look. And maybe a spear if you happen to have one on hand. (Jk, jk.)
Lane Kim from Gilmore Girls
Hi, remember that iconique episode of Gilmore Girls when Lane dyed her hair bright purple? Yep, that look would make the perfect costume (and the real ones will get it, promise).
