DIY Barbie and Ken Halloween Costume Ideas
1. Cowboy Barbie and Ken
Howdy ya’ll! Just look at how cute these cowboy Barbie and Ken outfits are!
Not to mention, we can’t forget about the signature pink colors. I’m kind of obsessed with that pink denim jacket and striped pants.
If you’re looking to wear these cowboy Barbie and Ken costumes for Halloween, you can easily find the cowboy hats at a party favor store or the Dollar Tree.
Also, instead of buying a pink denim jacket and striped pants, you could easily dye them pink (if your partner is open to that, of course).
Now go out and there and rock those Barbie outfits with your cowboy partner!
2. ’80s Barbie and Ken
This is a classic 80s outfit that you’ll see Barbie dolls wearing. You can see the timeline history of all the Barbie outfits here. Pretty crazy stuff!
This Barbie and Ken is really simple to put together. For Barbie, all you have to wear are leggings and buy a pink swimsuit to wear over. For Ken, you just need a blue striped button-up with a pink sweater wrapped around.
This is more of a casual, sporty Barbie and Ken Halloween costume look!
3. Tropical Barbie and Ken
These Barbie and Ken Halloween outfits are easy to DIY and definitely giving me tropical vibes.
There’s plenty of Barbie iron-on stickers that you can put on a white shirt, which would be a lot cheaper than buying the actual fit.
For Ken, as you can probably tell, most of his outfits involve a colorful button-up shirt with khakis and a scarf around his neck!
4. Beach House Barbie and Ken
This is one of my favorite Barbie and Ken outfits because it’s blue and pink themed.
I especially love Barbie’s outfit with her pink bag and shoes. So freaking cute!
For Barbie, all she needs is a pink dress and denim jacket, matched with a pink bag and shoes.
For Ken, he just needs graphic white tank with blue swim trunks!
You could definitely wear this on Halloween to the beach, and everyone will just know who you’re both dressed up as!
This is such a fun, bright Barbie and Ken outfit to try together!
5. Sporty Barbie and Ken
Want to be a little sporty and get your groove on as Barbie and Ken?
Decked out in blue, these Barbie and Ken Halloween costumes are perfect together!
You can easily find Barbie’s outfit on Amazon! You will have to buy separate accessories for her outfit though, which I’ve included above!
6. Neon ’90s Barbie and Ken
I mean who can forget about this iconic scene with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling skating in neon attire in Barbie!
You bet a bunch of people are going to be dressed up as this couple wearing roller-skates. Bonus points if you can roller-skate to really get the whole outfit going.
So if you’re going for the Neon 90’s Barbie and Ken look for Halloween, you can easily find neon leotards and swim trunks online and deck out in all neon!
7. Party Barbie and Ken
Since the release of Barbie, no doubt there will be plenty of Barbies and Kens going out for Halloween. This couple costume is definitely a trend you don’t want to pass up on.
Not to mention, this is such a couples outfit where you get to play with pink and yet be so fashionably cute together!
8. Formal Barbie and Ken
Going for more of a formal Barbie and Ken look? Then these outfits definitely go well with the vibe.
For Barbie, all you need is a pink dress and pin the name “Barbie” to your dress.
Same goes for Ken! You really can’t forget about that blue scarf. It’s after all one of his signature pieces!
9. Zumba Barbie and Ken
If anyone has watched Toy Story 4 where Barbie and Ken fall in love in the movie (sorry, spoiler alert), you will know that these outfits are from the movie!
This is such a cute look! You want to make sure that you put your hair in a high ponytail to really get Barbie’s hair look. And another essential piece for Ken is his watch and scarf.

Out of all the Barbie outfit in the movie, this is one of my favorites because it’s very casual and stylish. I mean look at those hot pink pants and wedged heels!
The whole set up from this scene was really cute and aesthetic. If you plan to wear this outfit to Halloween, I’d suggest putting a name tag that says “Barbie” on your shirt just so people know. This is more of a casual Barbie outfit.
If you go trick-or-treating, people might not know who you’re dressed as, so just a friendly suggestion to wear a “Barbie” name tag!
