19 Disney Halloween Costumes For Adults You Can Easily DIY
It's time to get a little more creative with your Disney Halloween costume this year. While there's never anything wrong with a classic princess dress, Halloween is a great time to challenge yourself to channel someone (or something) from the Walt Disney universe that's a little beyond the norm. Try on Cruella de Vil's red gloves from "101 Dalmatians" or dust off your super suit to be one of the Incredibles.
We've rounded up a whole bunch of easy costumes that will inspire you this Halloween season: your favorite Disney sidekicks, friends, and even some foes (we're looking at you, Maleficent). And of course, we've included some classic character favorites: Disney princesses like Snow White from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Ariel from "The Little Mermaid," Tiana from "The Princess and the Frog," and many more beloved roles.
See all of the creative costumes for adults ahead, and win best getup at your Halloween party.
