35 Superhero Costumes for Women So You Can Save the Day on Halloween
So many badass female superhero costume ideas, so little time.
As fun of a holiday as it is, Halloween can be overwhelming. Not only is there the social planning and party scheduling to consider, but then there's the matter of finding the perfect Halloween costume. If you don't know what you want to dress up as this fall, consider a superhero costume. Superhero costumes for women are more plentiful than you might think, and they give you the opportunity to play into a fun pop culture reference that almost everyone will recognize right away. Whether your favorite character is Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, or America Chavez from the new Doctor Strange, female superheroes are worth celebrating any day of the year — and of course that includes on Halloween 2022.
The good news about these types of Halloween costumes is that they're simple. It's easy to find a ready-to-go costume online and focus your energy on making Halloween snacks or choosing the perfect Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters. They're a perfect choice for a last-minute costume, as an alternative to a DIY costume (hey, not everyone is crafty), or a way to coordinate with your kid's superhero costume. If you're unsure which superhero costume to choose, here are 35 of the best options on the market right now.
