In the words of our great Lord and savior Cady Heron of Mean Girls, “In girl world, Halloween is the only time of year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can criticize them.” While I personally adhere to that dress code all-year round, I understand that for some women, Halloween is the one holiday they really feel excited to step out of their comfort zone (and most of their clothes). And if that’s the case for you, I’m begging you to go all out — and to please put down the cat ears and tail.
Listen, I get it: I too have gone the “sexy cat” route once or twice (or six times to be exact). And although the classic spandex body suit and sharp black liner are truly infallible, there’s more out there to choose from in the world of slutty costumes than you’d think.
If you’re looking for a new way to slut it up this Halloween, here are a few new routes you can try:
Slutty Halloween Costumes 2025
Bratz Doll
Sure, you can do another Barbie costume for the third year in a row, but you know what has always been more sexy than Barbies? They’re cunty cousins: Bratz. Think mini skirts, fur, heeled boots, and basically every outfit you begged your parents to get for your Bratz doll about two decades ago.
Betty Boop
Keeping up with the spirit of the baddest betches from our childhood, Betty Boop is always a fun and sexy route. Think you can’t pull off a pixie cut look? Think again. Everyone looks sexy in a Betty Boop costume.
Burlesque/Showgirl
Just because one showgirl flopped this year (sorry, Swifties), doesn’t mean you will. Whether you’re channeling Christina Aguilera in Burlesque or Moulin Rouge, nothing is hotter than a tight corset, sequins, and lots of feathers.
Firefighter
While some first responders aren’t inherently sexy *cough cops cough* firefighters are the unproblematic sexy heroes of the emergency services world. Plus, they don’t get enough recognition. So this Halloween, celebrate your favorite men in uniform by going as a sexy firefighter. Honestly, you really just need red lingerie and a firefighter jacket off Amazon and you’re good to go.
Sinners Vampire
Sure, you can be a regular sexy vampire and have a solid Halloween costume. But if you want to up the sexiness (what’s hotter than a movie where there are two Michael B. Jordans?) and creativity, you need to go as a Sinners vampire. Whether you’re wearing a silk dress doused in blood to be Mary, a vintage newsboy hat to play Smoke, or suspenders to go as a sexy Remmick, you’ll definitely bring a new twist to a classic costume.
Zoe Kravitz’ Catwoman
Okay, if you absolutely cannot stay away from the black spandex this Halloween, at least don’t be basic. Instead of just being a sexy cat or catwoman, add a little bit of flair by going as Zoe Kravitz’s catwoman. That means the red wig and everything.
