Witches, fairies, superheroes or spooky little vampires, which one will she be this Halloween?

So whether she loves everything pink and pretty, prefers a little spooky magic, or wants a costume nobody else will be wearing, here are twelve ideas to get you started, all available in Dubai right now, across four categories: warrior and historical (Viking Warrior Queen, Roman Goddess, Tudor Girl), storybook (Peter Pan, Little Red Riding Hood, Viking Girl), spooky (Gothic Student, Nun, Grim Reaper) and animal onesies (Wolf, Lion, Cow).

THE 12 BEST GIRLS’ HALLOWEEN COSTUMES AT PARTY CENTRE
HISTORICAL AND WARRIOR COSTUMES
For the girl who loves history, power, and dressing like she means business.
1. Child Viking Warrior Queen Costume
For the girl who was born to lead. This is a full warrior transformation. A dramatic dress and cape, arm and leg warmers, and a hat that pulls the whole fierce look together. She will walk into the party looking like she has just arrived from a Norse battlefield.
Pro tip: This costume has layers, so dress her in a light base layer underneath. She will stay comfortable all night and the costume will look just as good at the end of the evening as it did at the start.
2. Child Roman Goddess Venus Costume
Elegant, graceful and unmistakably powerful. A flowing aqua-blue and white dress with shimmering gold trim, a one-shoulder design with a draped cape sleeve, and a gold headband to finish the goddess look. It is also the lightest costume on this list, which makes it the safe bet if you are worried about her overheating. She will not just look like a goddess. She will feel like one.
Pro tip: Add a few gold bangles and flat sandals to complete the ancient goddess look. Small accessories make a big difference with this one. Shop accessories →
3. Child Tudor Girl Brown Costume
There is something timeless about this one. A warm brown dress with a white apron, gold lace-up detail, a white peter pan collar and a matching headscarf. Soft, comfortable, beautifully made. It is the kind of costume she will reach for again and again. Not just for Halloween but for history days, school plays and fancy dress parties too.
Pro tip: It works just as well for World Book Day, school plays and history projects as it does for Halloween. Order early and get more than one wear out of it.
STORYBOOK AND FANTASY COSTUMES
For the girl who loves fairy tales, adventures, and characters she has always wanted to become.
4. Child Peter Pan Girl Costume
All the magic of Neverland in a charming green dress and coordinating hat. Lightweight, comfortable, and loose enough that she can run around all evening without a single complaint. For the girl who has always wanted to fly, this is the next best thing.
Pro tip: Pair it with pointy green shoes and a little fairy dust glitter for the full Neverland effect. She will love the finishing touch. Shop face paint and glitter →
5. Child Little Red Riding Hood Costume
A classic fairy tale brought to life. A beautifully printed dress with woodland detailing and the signature red hooded cape that makes her look like she has just stepped out of the story. She will be ready for a magical adventure the moment she puts it on.
Pro tip: Add a small wicker basket with a few treats inside. It completes the story and doubles as her trick-or-treat bag. Shop baskets and buckets →
6. Child Viking Girl Costume
Bold, playful and full of adventure. A brown dress with faux fur accents, gold lacing, a horned helmet and a toy axe that brings the whole character to life. Earthy tones, layered textures, and just the right mix of toughness and dress-up charm. A great choice for any occasion where she wants to feel a little bit legendary.
Pro tip: The toy axe is what makes this costume. Make sure she carries it with confidence. A Viking without her weapon is just a girl in a dress.
SPOOKY AND DARK COSTUMES
For the girl who wants to lean into the Halloween spirit properly.
7. Child Gothic Student Girl Costume
Spooky and sophisticated at the same time, styled with a dark academic flair. A pleated skirt, matching top, polished jacket, soft shirt and a tie that completes the mysterious student look. Creepy and cool at the same time. This is the costume for the girl who takes her Halloween seriously and still intends to look impeccably put together while doing it.
Pro tip: Dark nail polish and a pale base take this from good to genuinely atmospheric. The gothic student look is all about the details. Shop Halloween makeup →
8. Child Wednesday Costume
Check out that serious, dramatic don't-mess-with-me look, head to toe. A black dress with the sharp white collar, plus the wig that pulls the whole thing together. Comfortable to wear and easy to run around in. Works just as well at a party as it does on a long night of trick-or-treating.
Pro tip: Skip the heavy makeup. Two braids and a straight face are all this one needs.
9. Child Grim Reaper Girl Costume
A haunting twist on a Halloween classic. A flowing hooded dress with jagged edges, an attached plastic chain for effect, and matching leggings for a complete look that is both creepy and genuinely cool. For the girl who intends to be the most dramatic presence at the party, this is the one. She will not just look like the Grim Reaper. She will look like the most stylish soul collector in the room.
Includes hooded dress, chain, leggings. Leggings mean full coverage, no cold shoulders.
Pro tip: This costume works best after dark. The flowing hood and jagged edges create a silhouette in low light that is hard to match. Save the big entrance for when the sun goes down.
ANIMAL COSTUMES
For the girl who would rather be a creature than a character. Warm, cosy, and an absolute hit at every Halloween party.
10. Child Wolf Onesie Costume
Fierce, fun and incredibly cosy. A soft hooded jumpsuit with a wolf-inspired design, easy to slip on and off and comfortable enough to wear all night. For the girl who has always felt a little bit wild, this one is made for her. It will also become pyjamas by the following weekend, which nobody minds.
Pro tip: Animal onesies are best worn over a light layer on cooler evenings. She will stay comfortable without the costume losing its shape.
11. Child Lion Animal Onesie Costume
The king of the jungle, seriously upgraded. An all-in-one jumpsuit with a realistic lion design, a plush mane, golden-brown colouring and charming facial details. Soft, warm and comfortable enough for a full night of trick-or-treating. For the girl who is not afraid to roar, this is the costume she has been waiting for.
Pro tip: A little face paint, a brown nose and some whiskers, completes the look. It takes two minutes and makes the whole costume come alive. Shop face paint →
12. Child Hooded Cow Animal Costume
Farmyard fun at its finest. A classic black and white spotted one-piece with an attached hood, cow face, ears, horns and a pink snout, and a tail detail at the back to finish it off. Soft, lightweight and easy to move around in all night. The kind of costume that makes everyone smile the moment she walks in.
Pro tip: A guaranteed crowd pleaser at school parties. Fun, friendly and completely non-scary, perfect for younger girls who want to join in without anything too frightening.
HOW DO I GET THE SIZING RIGHT?
This is where most Halloween orders go wrong, and it is entirely avoidable.
- Go by age range, then check the measurements. Every product page has a chest and height guide. A costume "7–8" is not the same as a UK 7–8.
- Size up if she is between sizes. A slightly loose costume is fine. A tight one does not survive the night.
- Leave room for layers. If she is wearing a base layer underneath, recommended for the Viking Warrior Queen and the Tudor Girl, size up.
- Onesies run generous. Order true to age.
WILL IT ARRIVE BEFORE HALLOWEEN?
Yes, if you order by 20 October.
- Dubai: [?]-day delivery
- Abu Dhabi: [?]-day delivery
- Rest of UAE (Sharjah, Ajman, RAK, Fujairah, UAQ): [?]-day delivery

One warning worth taking seriously: the 6–8 and 8–10 sizes go first, usually by the middle of October. Every year.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the most popular girls’ Halloween costumes in Dubai?
Animal onesies and storybook characters dominate for ages 3 to 8, while Viking, gothic and Grim Reaper costumes are the strongest sellers from 9 up.
Can Halloween costumes be washed?
Most fabric costumes can be hand washed in cool water or wiped down. Always check the care label first. Costumes with chain details, plastic accessories, or glued-on trim should be spot cleaned only.
Are these costumes suitable for the UAE climate?
Late October evenings here sit around 28–32°C, so breathability matters. The Roman Goddess, Peter Pan and Nun costumes are the lightest of the twelve. The animal onesies are warm and better suited to air-conditioned parties or later in the evening.
Are there non-scary Halloween costumes for school parties?
Yes. Plenty of UAE schools ask for non-frightening costumes. The Cow, Lion and Wolf onesies, plus Peter Pan, Little Red Riding Hood, Roman Goddess and Tudor Girl, all clear that rule comfortably.
When should I buy a Halloween costume in Dubai?
Early October. Popular sizes sell out by mid-month, and buying early leaves you room to exchange if the fit is wrong.
