It’s that time of year again when we suddenly realize Halloween is, like, tomorrow, and we’ve got approximately zero time to put together a costume. Between juggling kids, work, and life, we’re lucky if we remember to pick up a bag of candy for trick-or-treaters, let alone plan something clever to wear. But since not wearing a costume is basically a cardinal sin in the world of social media motherhood, we’ve come up with the best last-minute Halloween costumes for moms that somehow… don’t? seem? last-minute?
Whether you’re a Pinterest mom who ran out of crafting time or just plain forgot (no shame), there are plenty of iconic, last-minute Halloween costumes that are fun, easy, and won’t leave you feeling like a total failure in front of your kids or at that random neighborhood party. From Kourtney’s famous “Travis I’m Pregnant” moment to Lorelai’s scandalous first day of school look, these options are super easy to throw together with whatever you have at home — plus a little help from Amazon. Honestly, who TF has time for a DIY masterpiece right now?
So, sit back, sip your (hopefully spiked) PSL, and let us help you nail that last-minute Halloween costume that nods to your mom status in style.
Ms. Rachel
If you’re not already hearing “Hello, friends!” in your head, are you even a mom in 2024? Ms. Rachel has basically co-parented our kids with her catchy songs and endless enthusiasm. Throw on some overalls, slap on a headband, carry around a stuffed animal as your co-host, and top it off with a halo — because if she’s not the angel of YouTube, I don’t know who is.
Mrs. George
I know, I know — you’re not a regular mom. And it doesn’t get more cool, mom than Mrs. “Her Boob-Job Is Hard As Rocks” George. With her pink velour tracksuit, visible nips, and non-alcoholic drinks (unless you need a little something to take the edge off, ofc), it’s hard to find a more iconic costume than Regina’s biggest fan.
Kourtney Kardashian Barker
It’s not too often you get to don a sheer bodysuit while with child, but that’s what Halloween is for folks. Whether you’re planning a clever pregnancy announcement or already deep in your third trimester, Kourt’s infamous “Travis, I’m pregnant!” look is easy and just slutty enough — which is kinda the dream. Sure, you have to DIY your own sign, but if you can’t get turned up this Oct. 31, at least you can turn heads, right?
Kris Jenner
Let’s be real — without you, your entire household would be in absolute chaos. No one would make appointments, there’d be zero extracurriculars, and odds are, there’d be literal shit on the ceiling. Channel your inner momager this Halloween with some faux red bottoms and your phone surgically attached to your hand because, let’s face it — you’re basically the same, minus the billions.
Lorelai Gilmore
Between the ~basically a teen mom~ shirt and boots made for walking in and out of her exes’ lives, Lorelai Gilmore is a chef’s kiss last-minute costume for any mom looking to hit MILF status this Halloween. Just swap the coffee in your Luke’s cup for something stronger, and you might actually end up with a holiday worthy of a hangover.
Meredith Blake
It doesn’t matter if you’re a stepmom, the blogger mom fave of “bonus mom,” or claim those little monsters all for yourself — Meredith Blake was the blueprint for hot mom energy. Sure, you might not be scheming to ship your kids off to boarding school (but maybe? I don’t know your life), but that doesn’t mean you can’t rock a form-fitting tracksuit, oversized sunnies, a bottle of Evian, and zero-fucks this spooky szn.
Juno
Dress like the scariest movie of 2007 in honor of the fact that, yay, you beat teen pregnancy. Throw on some maternity jeans, a striped shirt, and a hoodie to nail Juno’s laid-back look. If you’re not a mom-to-be rocking a bump, just shove a bag of candy under your shirt to snack on while pretending you’re giving in to cravings. P.S. Don’t forget the blue slushie.
Whether you’re going for full-on pop culture icon or just trying to get through the night without anyone noticing your “costume” was a total afterthought, these last-minute looks have got you covered. Because TBH, no one does Halloween (or life) like a mom who’s always ready, even when she’s not.
