Behind every great hero is a villain that’s about a thousand times more fun to watch. So, come over to the dark side this Halloween with these epic Disney villain costumes.
Who needs princesses when you’ve got the queens (and a few kings) of being bad all right here? From Cruella to Ursula to Jafar, there’s a villain for every member of your squad on this list.
Sometimes, it feels good to be bad.
16 Disney Villain Costumes
1. Hans (Frozen)
I think we can all agree that we wanted to throw han(d)s when the big villain reveal came in Frozen. Thankfully, this prince paid the price.
And now Anna gets to finish sandwiches with Kristoff instead. Although we’re not sure why she can’t just eat a whole sandwich herself.
2. Tamatoa (Moana)
Want to feel happy as a clam? Then, get the heck off social media.
But since that’s about as likely as Disney park ticket prices going down, just dress up like Tamatoa instead. Why be sad when you can be shiny?
3. Estella (Cruella)
Estella de Vil doesn’t really have a great ring to it, but her clothing choices were pure fire.
Doggone it, we have to admit that this prequel had one thing going for it, and it was costume design.
4. Cruella (101 Dalmatians)
If you’re more into the classics, we assume you spend all your time studying Ancient Rome. Oh, you meant classic Disney? Well, here’s a classic Cruella for you. Maybe keep the dogs away from her, though.
5. Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
“Poor unfortunate soles” is what we sing when we insist upon wearing six-inch heels every Halloween when we know we’ll regret it. It’s also what you’ll be singing all day in this Ursula costume.
Now, does anyone have any Epsom salt?
6. Jafar (Aladdin)
We traveled near and jafar to find this incredible Disney villain costume. Side note: Anybody else secretly wish Jafar would explore their…Cave of Wonders? Or is that just us?
7. Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)
Maleficent is such a relatable villain. I mean, who wouldn’t curse a baby because they weren’t invited to a party? Huh? Oh no, that was totally a joke. One hundred percent.
8. Captain Hook (Peter Pan)
You might say we’re a little hooked on this costume. But we’re more hooked on the not-so-villainous sidekick Smee. They don’t happen to live near alligators, do they?
9. Evil Queen (Snow White)
Magic mirror on the wall, who’s got the greatest costume of them all? Probably Heidi Klum, but you might come in a close second with this Evil Queen costume.
10. Dr. Facilier (The Princess and the Frog)
Dr. Facilier is the perfect character to dress up as for Halloween because of his already-spooky outfit. Hey, Doc, we’ll be your friend on the other side anytime.
11. Hades (Hercules)
TBH, Hades was the best friend Meg needed. Controversial opinion, maybe. But we ain’t wrong. And don’t tell us Herc is a good guy — go read the original myth first. Didn’t know you’d be getting homework in this article, did ya?
12. Gabby Gabby (Toy Story 4)
If you love vintage styles, you’ll love this Gabby Gabby look inspired by the voice-box-less villain of Toy Story 4. You’ll also probably love anything that Wes Anderson creates, but that’s beside the point.
13. Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)
No one fights like Gaston. No one bites like Gaston. No one spits like Gaston. Basically, no one does toxic masculinity like Gaston. But is it so wrong to love him for it? (The answer is yes, but we don’t care.)
14. Yzma (The Emperor’s New Groove)
“Wrong lever” is not something you want to hear in an operating room, but it is what you’ll hear at every costume party you go to this year as Yzma. Why do we even have that lever? The better question: Why is this the most quotable Disney movie?
15. Mother Gothel (Tangled)
Disney has done several villains who just want to look good and really don’t like aging.
Is there no Botox in the Disney cartoon universe? Surely, that would be a lot less work than kidnapping a baby, raising her to be afraid of the world, and convincing her to make you young. Then again, Botox is expensive.
16. Sid (Toy Story)
“Let’s go home and play” is one of those phrases that really depends on tone. Because it’s either the hottest or creepiest thing you’ve ever heard.
Out of the mouth of Sid? Creepy. Out of the mouth of Pedro Pascal? I’ll be in the car honking the horn telling him to get in.
She's also a published short story author who has appeared in anthologies like A Murder of Storytellers and the Abstract Elephant. Jacqueline challenges herself to learn one new skill per year, so you can often find her struggling to master crocheting, knitting, and embroidery when she's not writing.
