International shoppers are already doing Halloween shopping, and 2026 is also coming with some very different trends in costume styles. From creepy Buddy the Unicorn to NeeDoh, Nikki from Obsession to Agamemnon from The Odyssey, there is a wide variety of choices available at US retailers. These are a few of the outfits in most demand in the U.S. this year. For those not in the U.S., it may be more difficult to obtain these popular Halloween costumes, as some U.S. stores do not ship internationally. Some costume pieces, liquids, props, or batteries may be subject to shipping restrictions.

We can also assist you with package handling, storage, consolidation, insurance, and tracking to get your costume ready for October 31st. Read the description of a costume before ordering, costume contents, size, seller processing time, and rules about the country of destination to avoid unnecessary delays. We listed the top 10 popular Halloween costumes in the United States in 2026 below to make your Halloween more memorable.
The largest and most popular costume for Halloween in 2026 is Buddy the Unicorn. After the horror movie “Buddy,” the bright orange character has become one of the most searched costume ideas in the U.S. In September, the search for “Buddy unicorn costume” even became more common than “kids unicorn costume.”
The design of Buddy is bright orange and looks easily recognizable. Purchase an entire outfit, or create the outfit based on the colors and details of the character.
This was a costume I bought for my Halloween party. I wanted something different this year, and Buddy the unicorn just had the perfect look, bright colors and interesting details. However, the creepy look- as soon as I put it on, people noticed it. Shipping was also done without any delay.

NeeDoh is one of the most unusual Halloween costume trends this year. The multicolored squishy toy has taken on the second spot in the list of top searches for costumes in 2026.
A NeeDoh costume is more of a fun diy style costume than a regular character costume. The bright colours and round design of the toy can be used as inspiration, and matching clothes or costume pieces can be added.
I purchased this NeeDoh costume for myself because I was looking for something fun and different. I loved the color of the costume, and it was really easy to assemble. All of the people at the party knew what I was wearing, and I received many compliments.

Another big Halloween costume for 2026 is Nikki's Obsession look. Her red zebra-style outfit in particular has gained much popularity after the release of the movie. The red zebra top may be worn with a matching pair of shorts, dark shoes, as well as accessories. If you need an outfit that looks like a normal costume but has a horror theme, this is a good choice.
I purchased this Nikki costume after watching the movie Obsession, and I liked how close the costume appeared to the character. The red zebra design was easy to identify, and the costume was comfortable enough to wear out to my Halloween party. I also looked good in pictures.

The biggest costume ideas from movies for 2026 are Agamemnon from The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan. This year, there are almost three times as many searches for an Agamemnon costume as for a Penelope costume.
This costume is particularly great for movie lovers looking for a detailed warrior outfit. You can locate pieces like a dark outfit, armour, cape, helmet, and more accessories depending on the seller.
I purchased the Agamemnon costume as I had really enjoyed The Odyssey and wanted a more elaborate Halloween outfit. The armor and style of the costume were easy to identify and took some time to prepare, but I was pleased with the result.

This year, Oliver Tree is in the top 6 of the most trending costume searches for the year. He also has a unique fashion style, which is an added charm for those who prefer something different than a standard Halloween costume.
His recognizable bowl cut look, sunglasses, oversized clothing, and bright jacket are a simple Oliver Tree look. If you wish to make your own, single items can be purchased in U.S. stores.
This year I wanted a costume with a little bit of fun in it, so I chose to dress in the Oliver Tree costume. I purchased the jacket, added the wig and sunglasses, and it was a great costume to wear. It really worked well.

Verity from Minecraft Halloween costumes are also trending on the costume list. The searches related to this character are dominated by those looking for “Verity mod outfits”. It is a great choice for any player who doesn't want to play the traditional Minecraft characters. While shopping, make sure the outfit has all the details for the character, or if some items are not included in the outfit, purchase them separately.
My family loves Minecraft games, and I wanted to try something different for my costume this year. I loved the details of the character and the overall look. It was a fun costume to wear around other Minecraft fans.

Carl from Dungeon Crawler Carl is a fan favorite among fans of the fantasy series. Queries about the series are also up this year. One of the simplest ways to make the costume recognizable is to make the character's heart-print boxers. Other character accessories may be used as official costume options.
I purchased the Carl costume as I'm a big fan of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and the outfit, with the other accessories and the heart-print shorts, made Carl easy to recognize. So, I was able to wear it to the Halloween event, which was great fun.– Michael S.
Disco Scooby-Doo is a retro version of the classic cartoon Scooby-Doo. The green and red disco outfit is the most searched outfit combination. This costume is also perfect for couples or friends, as Disco Scooby-Doo & Shaggy are the most popular costume duo this year.
I chose the Disco Scooby-Doo costume because I wanted something fun and easy to recognize, and the disco style gave the classic Scooby-Doo character a really fun twist. I wore it with a friend as Shaggy, and we received a lot of attention at the party.

Descendants' Hazel Hook is on the Halloween 2026 list. A realistic Hazel Hook cosplay is the one that has become a trend this year. One of the most important components of this costume is the hook. An entire outfit is available for purchase, or a Hazel Hook accessory could be paired with a pirate costume for a more complete look.
I purchased the Hazel Hook costume for my daughter, and she was super excited when it came. She really loved the pirate theme, and the hook was such a fun part of her costume as well. The outfit was very cute together and was a great Halloween costume.

Dolly Parton is one of the top 2026 trends and is also the top person trending for “blonde wig”. The big blonde wig and sparkly clothes are the key components of the Dolly Parton outfit, along with fringe, boots, and country-style accessories. Purchase a whole outfit or create your own from clothing and costume shops in the U.S.
I purchased this costume for Halloween and was really pleased with it. This costume was very comfortable, and the blonde wig, sparkly outfit, and boots helped me identify my character easily and got plenty of compliments all night long.– Emma A.
