It can be hard to figure out cute last minute costumes to do when you’re in a rush to get something figured out. If you’re needing to figure out a costume last minute, here are some really cute ones you could do!

After you read this post, you’ll have some super cute last minute costume ideas to try.

This post is about cute last minute costumes to try.

1. Tomb Raider

This costume is so cute in general, and would make for such a good last minute costume! All you’d need is a grey/ green outfit and some belts/ buckles to use as the accessories.

2. Tinkerbell

If you have any kind of green dress or green outfit, dressing up as tinkerbell would be SO cute! I love the dress she used, it’s so pretty.

Wings would be super easy to grab from the store in a pinch, but you could also try to DIY some.

3. Strawberry Shortcake

If you grew up watching Strawberry Shortcake like I did, this would be such a good costume to do last minute, especially if you already have any strawberry themed clothes/ accessories. If you don’t, you could print out/ draw a strawberry and tape it to an all pink/ red outfit!

4. Harry Potter Costume

If you have a Harry Potter tie/ wand lying around (I know that sounds weird, but I know so many people who actually do lol), a last minute costume is the perfect opportunity to use it!

5. Princess And The Pea

This is probably my favorite last minute costume idea I’ve seen! I’m considering doing this as my Halloween costume this year just because of how cute and easy it is.

All you’d need is some kind of pink outfit and a pink sleep mask! For the pea you could go in so many different directions. You could get a pea plushie like she did, you could carry around a bag of peas, you could carry around a single pea to pull out when people ask what you are (that would be really funny), the options are endless!

6. Joker

A joker costume would be super easy to put together if you have a white button down, some makeup, and some green hair spray! The hair spray isn’t actually essential to the costume, but it’d make it a lot more recognizable.

7. Jigsaw

If you’re wanting to do a spooky costume, you could dress up as jigsaw! You’d need some kind of black and white outfit and a red bow tie. You could do the rest of the look with makeup.

8. Mean Girls Costume

This would be a super simple and easy costume to put together last minute! You could do Karen like this one, or you could even do Regina in the scene where she has the holes cut out of her shirt.

9. Pirate

A pirate costume would be really easy to put together if you have some black, white, and red clothes, especially if you have a corset and a bandana.

10. Princess Diaries Costume

If you’re like me and grew up on the Princess Diaries, this would be such a cute costume to do! This one might require a little more planning, but if you already have a white dress like the one in the picture, it could be a good last minute costume!

11. Alvin And The Chipmunks

This is one of the easiest last minute costumes ever. All you really need for these costumes is a red/ green/ blue hoodie (depending on which chipmunk you’re being) and some yellow tape to put the letter on the front.

This would be such a funny costume idea to do with friends, as well.

12. Britney Spears

If you have some scrunchies, a black skirt, white shirt, and a grey cardigan, this costume would be super easy to put together!

13. Fairy

As long as you have some fairy wings, you could wear literally any outfit for this costume. I love the lingerie dresses they used, though!
