And what better way to embrace the spirit of the season than by channeling the quirky charm of everyone's favorite ghost with a Beetlejuice costume? This iconic character from Tim Burton’s classic film is not only timeless, but his flamboyant style and boisterous personality make him a fantastic choice for a duo costume idea. If you're ready to summon the magic of the afterlife, here’s how you and your best friend can go full Beetlejuice-crazy!

The Timeless Duo: Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz

  1. Beetlejuice Costume

    • The Classic Stripes: Our Beetlejuice costumes for men, women and pets has the classic black and white striped suit. This is essential for nailing Beetlejuice's signature look.

    • The Hair: Beetlejuice is famous for his wild and messy hair. For the complete transformation, a wispy green and black wig is ideal. If you have short hair, you can always use hair gel to style it accordingly. Add some face paint or spray that mimics the ghostly pallor for an authentic touch! We have the Beetle wig for women.

    • Accessories: Don’t forget the accessories! A pair of mismatched shoes can add to the chaotic style, and some ghostly makeup can really sell the look.

  2. Lydia Deetz Costume

    • Gothic Gown: Lydia is known for her iconic red dress. This can either be a long gown or a more casual, short style, depending on your preference. Look for lace or tulle to enhance the gothic aesthetic. We have that classic dress at Hocus Pocus Halloween Costume Shop.

    • Accessories: Add a black hat with a wide brim to pay homage to Lydia's love for drama. Pair this with dark lipstick, and make sure to perfect that iconic Lydia Deetz look with dramatic eyeliner and dark nail polish.

    • Props: Carrying a camera can be a fun nod to Lydia's character. You might also consider a small notebook to represent her artistic side.
