A Beetlejuice costume can make a fun Halloween look for two, especially when each person gets to interpret the theme in a way that feels right for them. This family costume paired the film’s recognizable spooky style with a look Nova associated with her favorite movie, Coco. The result was a coordinated idea that left room for a child’s own imagination.
Putting together a Beetlejuice costume
The costume pieces included a red wedding dress and red lace gloves, along with a suit for Nova and green hair spray. These elements offer a simple starting point for a shared look without requiring every person to dress as the same character. If you are planning a similar outfit, decide which pieces each person feels comfortable wearing before putting the costumes together.


Make a family costume comfortable
Costumes are more enjoyable when everyone has a say in the final look. A child may connect with a different character or movie than the adults had in mind, and that can still work with a shared Halloween theme. Keep the main idea flexible: coordinate a few colors or accessories, then let each person choose how closely they want to match.
There was also a possible Miss Argentina outfit for Goldie, but she did not want to wear a wig that year. Rather than insist on the accessory, the family left that part of the costume for another time. This is a practical approach for any dress-up event: skip an item that causes discomfort, and avoid making photos or participation feel like an obligation.
Costume pieces and decorating details
The outfit components used for this look were:
- Red wedding dress
- Red lace gloves
- Nova’s suit
- Green hair spray
Additional Halloween details included spiders, DIY-painted pumpkins and a doormat. These can help carry a spooky theme into a porch or entryway. For hair spray and other costume products, follow the package directions, check suitability for the wearer and keep products away from eyes and sensitive skin.

For an easy family costume, start with a few recognizable pieces and adapt the rest to suit each person. A Beetlejuice costume can be coordinated without being identical, and comfort can matter just as much as the finished photos.
Happy Halloween
