Are you on the hunt for the perfect Halloween costume for you or your kids? We’ve had lots of fun dressing up as characters with red hair for Halloween over the years, so I can definitely help! Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays and I enjoy nothing more than putting together a fun and creative costume. To help you find the best costume with the red hair look you’re after, I put together a list of our past costumes with red hair and some other great ideas you’ll love.
10 Characters with Red Hair for Halloween Your Kids Will Love
1. Ariel from The Little Mermaid
Ariel is the most fun Disney princess with her flowing red hair and mermaid tail. We really enjoyed The Little Mermaid theme costumes one year as a family when my daughter was obsessed with the movie. She, of course, dressed up as Ariel and we were the supporting characters. This is a fun and easy costume!

2. Kim Possible
The teenage crime-fighter with her red hair and iconic green cargo pants makes a great adult or kid costume. My favorite parts of this costume are the red wig and the combat boots!
Check out this Kim Possible costume.
3. Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo
Who doesn’t love Daphne Blake, the stylish redhead with her purple dress and green scarf? This is another costume that can easily be made into a family affair with all of the Scooby-Doo characters. But Daphne is great on her own too!
Check out this Daphne Blake costume.
4. Ginger Spice from Spice Girls
Ginger Spice is a fun and nostalgic choice with her iconic Union Jack dress and ginger hair. This is such a fun costume with the lace up knee high boots and the short red wig that gives it all kinds of attitude!

5. Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland
This was another family costume for us and we had so much fun dressing up as characters from Alice in Wonderland. I was the Queen of hearts and even though I skipped the wig and went with my brown hair, it is truly the most epic part of the costume.
Check out The Queen of Hearts costume and red wig.

6. Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy is a Batman villain and she’s well known on her own, but she would make a great addition to a group if you’re looking for group costumes. I love how bright red the wig for this costume is.
Check out the Poison Ivy Costume.
7. Wilma Flintstone
Wilma, the classic red-haired character from The Flintstones, is iconic with her white dress and prehistoric flair. The red wig for this costume is unforgettable! Make this a family costume or the perfect cheesy couple costumes with the rest of the Flintstones characters.

8. Archie Andrews from Riverdale
Have you seen this TV series spinoff of the old Archie comic book? Archie Andrews is the star of the show! This is a simple costume with red hair, a letterman jacket, and a classic comic book feel.
Check out this Archie Andrews Costume.
9. Princess Merida from Brave
This Disney princess has a fiery red mane and bow and arrow, perfect for a storybook character look. Kid’s movie characters are always fun to dress up as to put a smile on your kids’ faces! If you’re a natural redhead this costume is perfect for you!

10. Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus
Another Halloween classic, this is the perfect costume for a group costume idea. We used this as a family costume one year with our three girls being the Sanderson sisters. It was one of my favorites and the first one I think of when I think of redhead characters.
