Some of my fondest childhood memories stem from my sibling costumes on Halloween. Sure, the mountains of candy were pretty special, but what really filled me with delight was the chance to partner on a Halloween costume with my big sister. Ordinarily, she could take me or leave me, but come October, she needed me to be the Raggedy Andy to her Ann or the Wild Thing to her Max.
If you have a couple of siblings to outfit this Halloween, keep scrolling for dozens of coordinating costumes to help take the guesswork out of the upcoming holiday. This list of sibling costumes includes options from pop culture, nostalgic movies, kid-favorite shows, storybooks, nursery rhymes, nature, and more! We’ve broken some of the list down to sibling costumes for boys and girls, but, of course, any child can dress in their favorite costume on Halloween, no matter their gender. Read on for over 50 of our favorite Halloween costume ideas for siblings—plus some of the cutest inspiration photos and where to shop to recreate the look for your littles.
Boy and Girl Sibling Costumes
1. ‘The Wizard of Oz’
The Wizard of Oz is full of kids’ costume possibilities, from the story’s four heroes to the witches to just about anyone in Munchkin Land. With one sister as Dorothy, any combination of characters will be instantly recognizable and make for one of the sweetest trick-or-treating crews around.
2. Cruella de Vil and a Dalmatian
One of the most recognized Disney movies of all time also happens to make an incredible Halloween costume for siblings.
3. Bluey and Bingo
While Bluey and Bingo are sisters, we think any sibling duo can dress up as the most lovable Heeler pups— Bluey, Bingo, or cousin Muffin (a new costume this year!). And they likely won’t want to take off their costumes until Thanksgiving (or later).
4. Ariel and Flounder from ‘The Little Mermaid’
Ariel needs her friend and sidekick, Flounder, to make this movie-inspired costume extra special. Add more Disney Halloween costumes to the mix with Sebastian, Ursula, or other sea creature costumes, too!
5. Woody and Jessie from ‘Toy Story’
Jessie and Woody make an adorable pair for a Toy Story-themed sibling costume for a brother and sister. Have more than two kids? Add Buzz, Bo Beep, Rex, or any others!
6. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf
This classic duo is a cute costume option for brothers and sisters. Not to mention a fuzzy wolf costume is cozy for a colder night of trick-or-treating.
7. Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm from ‘The Flintstones’
Having a sibling is like having a built-in best friend, so what’s a better brother-sister costume than this timeless bestie couple? It’s also easy to make it a creative family costume with parents as Fred and Wilma.
8. Poppy and Branch from ‘Trolls’
For kids who’d love a creative hair moment, consider dressing sibs as this memorable musical pair from the Trolls movies.
9. Annie and Sandy from ‘Annie’
For a nostalgic sibling costume idea, dress big sis as Annie and little bro as a puppy—or get the familiy dog in on the costume—so they’ll never be fully dressed without a smile.
10. Alice in Wonderland and The Queen of Hearts
Send your little ones off on an adventure to Wonderland with this whimsical duo in an Alice in Wonderland and Queen of Hearts costume. More siblings? No problem. Choose from a host of characters, from the White Rabbit to the Mad Hatter, to round out the group.
11. Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Speaking of iconic duos, Mickey and Minnie are the ultimate pair perfect for a brother and sister sibling costume. If you have more kids or want to make it a family costume, the OG characters Goofy, Daisy, and Donald are easy Disney costumes. Plus, you can get the family pet included as Pluto.
12. Wednesday and Pugsley
Even though we have to wait until 2025 for Season 2 of Wednesday, this older sister and little brother pair epitomize Halloween vibes any year.
13. Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy from ‘Into the Spiderverse’
Superhero vibes abound in this timely sibling costume from the popular movie franchise Into the Spiderverse.
14. Jane Goodall and a Chimp
A simple safari outfit can transform into a sibling costume honoring the renowned primatologist Jane Goodall. Anyone who knows a thing about her knows wherever she was, a chimpanzee wasn’t far away!
Costumes for Sisters
15. The Sanderson Sisters from ‘Hocus Pocus’
Another perfect pick for sister siblings (or a group or family costume), the Sanderson Sisters from hit Halloween flicks Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2.

16. Elsa and Anna from ‘Frozen’
We love this sibling costume idea because there are so many ways to make it your own. We love combinations like Elsa and Anna, Anna and Olaf, Sven and Kristoff, and more! Or, if your girls BOTH want to be Elsa, that’s OK, too!
17. Bo Peep and a Sheep
Whether she’s Bo Peep with her sheep or Mary with her little lamb, this costume is too sweet—especially for a little sibling who already follows their older sister around.
18. Cher and Dee from ‘Clueless’
Your kids might still be too young to see the movie, but this cute sister costume featuring fashionista besties Cher and Dionne from Clueless will be a hit with fellow parents.
19. Dottie and Kit from ‘A League of Their Own’
Channel this classic ’90s film with costumes that celebrate the professional female baseball league of the 1940s. We dug up uniforms for the Rockford Peaches and the Racine Belles to make a throwback costume for real-life sisters playing onscreen siblings, Dottie and Kit.
20. ‘Troop Beverly Hills’ Costume
“Beverly Hills, what a thrill!” This cute costume for sisters honors another throwback movie, 1989’s Troop Beverly Hills.
21. The Barbies Sister Costume
While The Barbie Movie dominated headlines and award shows last year and was a top 2023 Halloween costume, The Barbies are still a cute pick for a group of friends or sisters this year. And, of course, any male buddies or brothers can go as the Kens—or Alan.
22. Cute Witch Costumes
Witches were essentially a sisterhood. So if you’re looking for a classic Halloween costume for sisters, consider a pair of adorable witches. Have more siblings? One can be a black cat.
Costumes for Brothers
23. ‘Where the Wild Things Are’
Perfect for your wild little ones on the most fun night of the year! With this costume, they can have a blast bringing their favorite children’s book to life.
24. Dinosaur Brothers
For little dudes in their dinosaur era, this Halloween costume will be a hit on its own—or as a family costume with Jurassic Park movie vibes.
25. ‘Ratatouille’
Chef costumes are a classic choice. But this creative costume for brothers adds a little something special by pairing Alfredo Linguini and his secret sauce, kitchen helper Remy from Ratatouille.

26. Super Mario Bros.
Kiddos have always been fans of brothers Mario, Luigi, and their gang, but with the release of the new movie in 2023, Super Mario Bros. made a comeback in a big way.
27. ‘Napoleon Dynamite’
Every Napoleon Dynamite sibling costume needs a Napoleon, but brothers can choose from any one of the memorable cast characters from this 2004 cult classic—like Pedro, Kip, or Rex.
28. Maverick and Goose from ‘Top Gun’
The sequel to Top Gun, Top Gun Maverick, brought this iconic duo back to the forefront in 2022. Little bros can become each other’s wingmen in matching navy pilot jumpsuits—or a cute costume combo with Goose in a Hawaiian shirt and Mav in a bomber jacket (and don’t forget the aviators!)
29. Marty McFly and Doc Brown from ‘Back to the Future’
This throwback costume for brothers will delight fellow parents raised in the ’80s and ’90s. Dress a little Marty in the iconic red puffer vest and Doc Brown in a white lab coat. For extra Halloween DIY points, outfit a wagon as the DeLorean time machine to take them trick-or-treating.
30. Sully and Mike from ‘Monsters Inc.’
Buddies Mike and Sully from Disney Pixar’s Monsters Inc. and Monsters University are a funny pair in their own right. But they’d also make a fun combo for a sibling costume.
