Forget Sexy! These 27 Halloween Costumes Are For Bada$$ Women

Grab a kick-ass black mullet and some leather, and pay a tribute to one of the awesome women who first showed the world that girls could be rock stars!

The Bride, Beatrice, or the main girl from Kill Bill, there’s no question that Uma Thurman is a hottie, but there’s also no question that her character in this movie is a badass mofo that anyone would be happy to channel this Halloween.

Sugar, spice, everything nice, chemical x, and sisterhood. This old cartoon had it right.

If you ask us, Bilbo Baggins would make an awesome woman, too.

The everlasting Wednesday Addams doesn’t put up with nonsense, and neither should you this pumpkin-packed holiday.

Get yourself some Halloween makeup, and channel your inner pop-art artist. Props to anyone who walks around with speaking bubble that reads: “What do you mean you’re not a feminist?” Or “I’d rather sink than call Brad for help!”

This Studio Ghibli heroine helped end a war, and learned to love herself along the way. #LifeGoals

Anything involving zombies, really, but we all know that Michonne knows what’s up.

Show off those guns!

Katniss knows how to play the right games.

A graphic novel heroine from the 80’s living in a punk post-apocolyptic world. Even if you don’t know who she is, she can at least be your creative badass costume inspo!

Or any female boxer, really. But Ronda, though,

She took the Attack on Titan video-game world by storm, and taught us a bit about the muscular anatomy. Pretty scary, really.

Fun fact: Nike is the Greek goddess of Victory. You could toss on your toga …  orrrr you could walk around on Halloween decked out in all that cool Nike gear you’ve been wanting to show off. Give someone a mythology lesson along the way!

No ridiculously sexual prisoner costumes here. We’re keeping it real.

Although a certain prisoner also supports a certain strong, free-spirited, independent, and animal loving female. Good ‘ol Pippi Longstocking.

Best Halloween movie ever. Amiright?

Wonder Woman, a well known Amazon, fighting for your rights in her satin tights.

Bonus points if you figure out a way to evoke a specific self portrait of hers.

Now here’s a woman that can kick butt and rule a kingdom like a champ.

Queen of the 90s underworld who fell in love with a vampire. That’s ballsy.

Another ’90s warrior woman that ruled. Plus you get to wear leather!

She was flexing her muscles back when nice girls wore pearls and heels and had dinner on the table when their husbands walked in. 

Sarcasm and a biting intellect to parody the BS that surrounds her. 

Beautiful and brainy. 

Started from the bottom of the Game of Thrones, now she’s here.

Another Ghibli heroine… only this one runs with wolves and will literally tear your throat out if you mess with the forest.
