If you find that your hair blends in with the autumn leaves, it might be hard to find a costume that really fits you! Redheads only make up about 2% of the world's population which means that, naturally, they are less represented in popular culture, which translates into less brilliant red-headed costume ideas! But I wouldn't lose sleep over it, because your search is over! Right here in front of you, we have compiled the greatest list of red-headed costume ideas EVER! Though we might be slightly biased.
The Bad Girls
Black Widow Costume Queen of Hearts Costume Devil Costume
The list starts off with some of our more dangerous characters. These are the costumes that are perfect for someone ready to kick some butt at the next redhead joke they hear. Now obviously, you don’t actually have to be a redhead to go out as the devil. But if you are, this look works scary good.
The Princesses
Ariel Costume Merida Costume Fiona Costume
This category is dedicated to our extremely diverse redhead princesses, consisting of an ogre, a mermaid, and one human! Now unless you live in Venice, having to swim/flop from house to house is less than Ideal. So, as much as we wanted to give the Ariel costume a big fin instead of leg holes, we didn't. Also, a special tip for anyone dressing up as Fiona this Halloween: roll around in the nearest swamp roughly three days before Halloween. Then, let that marinate until Halloween night when you put your costume on. You'll look and smell the part!

But you have to have some vision here! That Gryffindor robe on a stunning redhead like yourself, well that almost starts to look like.... Ron Weasley? Fred Weasley? George Weasley?
