Halloween’s the perfect excuse to turn dark hair into a full-blown superpower. Brunettes have range—mysterious, moody, mischievous, and everything in between. This list celebrates that energy with looks that prove brown’s anything but boring. Ready to steal the spotlight and a little candy while you’re at it?
Mia Wallace
Still trying to look effortlessly cool? Mia Wallace did it first. That sharp black bob, oversized white shirt, and cropped pants basically scream “I don’t need to try.” Uma Thurman turned minimalism into a Halloween power move. And yes, that bob is totally a wink to silent-film rebel Louise Brooks.
Wednesday Addams
Every year, someone shows up as Wednesday Addams. Honestly, good for them. That black dress and death-stare combo never misses. Inspired by a nursery rhyme about being “full of woe,” she somehow made misery look like the ultimate aesthetic. Deadpan chic, anyone?
Velma Dinkley
“Jinkies!” Translation: the smartest person in the room just solved the mystery. Velma’s orange turtleneck and chunky glasses have outlived every spooky villain in Scooby-Doo history. She’s proof that being the brainy one doesn’t mean you can’t have iconic style.
Morticia Addams
Morticia doesn’t walk, she glides. With that jet-black gown and icy calm, she makes “haunted mansion chic” look effortless. Carolyn Jones set the standard in the ’60s, and no one’s topped her yet. With roses and deadpan elegance, Morticia’s basically goth royalty.
Princess Leia
Who knew a white gown and space buns could become legend? Princess Leia led the rebellion and redefined what a sci-fi heroine could look like. Carrie Fisher gave her bravery and sarcasm that could cut through steel. Well, no galaxy’s been the same since.
Daria Morgendorffer
Before she got her own show, Daria was already perfecting the art of eye-rolling. Brown hair, green jacket, and boots that meant business. Effortlessly cool and unapologetically unimpressed, she’s the ideal costume for anyone who prefers wit over small talk.
Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot Version)
Not all superheroes wear capes, as some wear golden armor and heels they can actually fight in. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman isn’t just strong; she’s terrifyingly stylish. The battle-ready look says, “I save the world before breakfast.” Add the lasso, and you’re officially unstoppable.
Catwoman (Batman Returns)
Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman didn’t need nine lives to make history. That stitched-up latex suit? DIY goals. It’s equal parts chaos, confidence, and “don’t mess with me.” She went from mild-mannered secretary to feline fury faster than you can say “meow,” and Halloween hasn’t recovered since.
Amy Winehouse
Before winged eyeliner tutorials were a thing, Amy Winehouse was the tutorial. The beehive, the tattoos; she made retro look rebellious. Her voice broke hearts, and her Halloween costume potential? Still off the charts. Just don’t forget the eyeliner or the sass.
Emily (Corpse Bride)
Helena Bonham Carter’s haunting vocal performance breathes ethereal life into Emily, Tim Burton’s iconic Corpse Bride. Through Carter’s artistry, this spectral beauty emerges in striking detail – from her otherworldly blue skin and cascading blue-black hair to her signature tattered wedding gown, creating a mesmerizing character that has become a beloved Halloween costume choice.
