Pink is the easiest way to look bright and instantly recognizable at a party. One pink dress, jacket or wig already says who you are, and the colour photographs well in any light.
These are 21 costumes that are pink, from characters in movie icons to cartoon princesses, and one for everyone in the group. Each pick lists the key pieces, and the button under it opens the full guide with a shopping list. Want something darker? See our all-black Halloween costumes or red Halloween costumes.

Wearing pink? Make it stand out
Pick one pink shade and stick to it, because hot pink, pastel and rose do not mix well. A blonde or pink wig, white gloves and a few gold or pearl accessories make a pink outfit look finished. If you want a pink dress, Amy Rose is one more idea, with a pink wig and pink tights.
