Absolutely! Costumes with glasses are not just for the bespectacled among us. Fake costume glasses are super affordable and easy to find.

Ultimate Halloween Costumes with Glasses for Women
Velma
We had to kick this list off with one of the first costumes that came to mind when we thought of a costume fit for prescription glasses – Velma! One of the beloved characters from Scooby doo! This classic costume fits the bill perfectly, and comes in modest versions as well as sexy versions.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg
The Notorious RBG! Want to champion justice and style this Halloween? Look no further than Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
The best part is that this is actually a really easy costume to create. Start with a black robe that you may have left over from graduation. She loved to wear a statement necklace with her robes, as well as colorful earrings so don’t be afraid to get creative. RBG also wore several different styles of glasses, so you can wear your regular day to day glasses to make the perfect Halloween costume.
Skeeter from The Help
Embrace Skeeter’s aspiring writer look! Skeeter was the main character in the movie adapted from the book, The Help.
If you wear horn-rimmed glasses, they’re a perfect starting point for this costume. Pair them with a comfy shirtwaist dress or a skirt and blouse combo in a classic 1960s style – think florals, polka dots, or gingham. Bonus points for a vintage typewriter prop and a determined expression – Skeeter’s on a mission!
Crystal from Fortnite
One of the most iconic characters from Fortnite, Crystal is a super fun, super cute costume to put together. Starting with the purple hair up in pony tails, grab a blue or purple shirt, camo pants and a tactical belt, along with the perfect pair of round glasses, and you will have this look nailed.
Austin Powers
You are so cheeky baby!!
Unleash your inner groovy chick with an Austin Powers swinger girl costume! Your glasses can be the base – wear your existing pair of frames, or go bold and playful. This colorful go-go dress with a ruffled top at the neck and sleeves is perfect for October 31st. Don’t forget the platform boots or go-go boots to complete the swinging 60s look.
Janice Joplin
Unleash your inner rock goddess with a Janis Joplin costume that’s both comfortable and iconic!
Your glasses can be the foundation – oversized wire rimmed round frames are the right pair of frames for this look. The lenses can be a variety of colors or regular clear ones. Embrace your bohemian side to get the perfect vibe. Bonus points for vintage styles with a long, beaded necklace, plenty of bracelets and rings, a feathered boa, or a fringed vest to capture Janis’ free-spirited style.
Belting out a Janis Joplin tune (or rocking a pair of air guitar) is the ultimate way to complete this unforgettable costume!
Elaine Benes
You know you want to do the dance. You know you do!
We loved Elaine on Seinfeld, so in addition to the trademark hair pulled half back, you want to have small framed glasses, an oversized blazer, with a long skirt and boots or loafers.
Karen
This whole look is so accurate, it is scary. Start with the hilarious shirt and build around it. You might already have everything you need right in your own closet! This is one of the best Halloween costumes for spooky season – she is spooky in her own way.
Iris Apfel
Talk about a larger than life person just screaming to be honored via Halloween costumes!
Iris Apfel’s bold style with her oversized glasses, piles of colorful jewelry, and a mismatched outfit is a complete blast to dress as and a great idea for Halloween. Think loud prints, chunky accessories, and a statement piece like a giant necklace or round sunglasses!
Darcy Lewis
Like Tony Stark, Darcy Lewis is a sharp science wiz from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To dress up as her, grab a pair of jeans, some sneakers, and layer a graphic tee under a lab coat. Don’t forget some fingerless gloves and a sarcastic grin!
Bernadette from Big Bang Theory
Rock Bernadette’s adorable style with a brightly colored sweater (think pink, green, or yellow) layered over a floral print dress. Add dark tights and comfy flats or wedges to complete the look. Bonus points for a pair of fun glasses with bold frames!
Meg Griffin
Nail Meg Griffin’s classic look with a simple white tee under a pink shirt, paired with comfy blue jeans. Top it off with a pink beanie, some big black eyeglasses, and sneakers for a comfy yet recognizable costume.
Tessa Altman from Suburgatory
Capture Tessa Altman’s sassy spirit with a bold, colorful outfit! This is an easy costume of one of the favorite characters from this show. Think fitted tops, bright skirts or skinny jeans, and statement shoes like heels or platforms. Don’t forget some fun jewelry and a touch of makeup for a complete suburban-chic look.
Rosa Parks
While Rosa Parks’ actions were far from a costume, honoring her legacy through a respectful portrayal can be a powerful Halloween costume.
The key is to focus on the clothes she wore on December 1st, 1955: a simple yet dignified outfit. Think a dark colored dress, like a brown or navy, paired with neutral-colored stockings and comfortable black shoes. A classic top, like a long-sleeved blouse or a cardigan, completes the look.
Tina from Bob’s Burgers
Channel Tina’s awkward charm with a light blue shirt and darker blue skirt, iconic round glasses, and a brown wig with blunt bangs. Complete the look with a signature Tina groan (optional, but encouraged!).
Bayonetta
Unleash your inner Umbra Witch with a Bayonetta costume that oozes confidence and power. The key piece is a form-fitting black bodysuit and you have to have long, flowing black hair is a must-have! Accessorize with thigh-high boots that reach just above the knee for a dominant presence, dramatic earrings that dangle, and fingerless gloves to channel Bayonetta’s signature witchy vibe.
Tina Fey
Tina Fey is known for her smart and funny characters, and they typically all wear glasses, so you have a few options for a costume depending on the look you’re going for. Here are two ideas:
- Liz Lemon from 30 Rock: This is a classic and easy option. Wear a fitted blazer, a striped tee underneath, dark-wash jeans or a skirt, and comfortable shoes like flats or Converse. Don’t forget a pair of glasses and a purse (and maybe a bag of cheese puffs for a fun touch)!
- Tina Fey Book Cover: Her cover is hilarous, so you can get this look with a bowler hat and simple white shirt with black tie. Manly forearms and hands are up to you.
Sue Storm
Unleash your inner Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four with a powerful Sue Storm costume!
Much like Clark Kent/Superman, you can tuck a Fantastic Four shirt under your regular shirt to let it peek out. The foundation is a royal blue bodysuit – think sleek and form-fitting, but choose your level of detail. A simple unitard works, or you can go for a more high-tech vibe with silver accents or a metallic sheen. Channel Sue’s signature blonde locks with your own hair or a wig. Keep accessories minimal – small earrings or a thin necklace will do. If you want to add some extra flair, consider blue gloves or high boots in blue or black.
Mei from Overwatch
Transform into the adorable Mei from Overwatch with a costume that combines her love for climate control tech and sunny disposition!
The key piece is her blue climate control suit. Find a blue jumpsuit with an orange insulated pack on the back, mirroring how Mei keeps herself warm. Look for orange accents on the arms and legs, and maybe even a white turtleneck peeking out from underneath. Channel Mei’s hairstyle with dark brown hair styled in short buns with bangs. If your hair doesn’t match, we have aa wig linked below. Complete the look with brown fingerless gloves, a thick brown belt with a silver buckle, and brown boots. Don’t forget Mei’s signature goggles – they can rest on your head for that extra touch of detail. Bonus points for crafting or buying a prop replica of her Endothermic Blaster to show off your freeze-ray skills!
Jackie O
Channel your inner Jackie O with a costume inspired by her timeless elegance!
She was as well known for her glasses as she was for the pink pillbox hat and suit she was wearing on that fateful day. Don’t forget the signature pearls and white gloves for a touch of sophistication. Kitten heels or dainty ballet flats will add the finishing touch.
Daria
Achieve Daria Morgendorffer’s signature grunge look with effortless cool.
The foundation is a pair of baggy, dark wash jeans. Layer on a graphic tee with a band you love, a cartoon character, or a sarcastic message. A flannel shirt, worn open or tied around your waist, adds another layer of grunge goodness. For footwear, classic black combat boots are perfect, or go for chunky sneakers for a more laid-back vibe. Keep accessories minimal – a simple silver necklace or a few black bracelets capture Daria’s nonchalant style. Finally, don’t forget Daria’s signature cynical expression – a perfectly arched eyebrow or a sardonic smirk will complete the costume.
The New Girl
Unleash your inner Jess Day, the quirky teacher from New Girl, with a costume that bursts with color and charm!
The tortoiseshell glasses start off the outfit, to which you can build the base of your look with a feminine dress or skirt. Think a flowy sundress in a cheerful print, a cute skirt paired with a sweet blouse, or a comfy jumper. Tights or leggings are a Jess staple, adding another layer and keeping things cozy. Add a brightly colored cardigan or a sweater with a playful pattern. Jess is all about accessorizing, so go wild with statement necklaces, headbands with big bows, colorful scarves, or quirky earrings. Top it all off with a pair of ballet flats or cute heels for a comfortable yet put-together look.
Silken Floss
In The Spirit, Silken Floss serves as the right-hand woman to the supervillain The Octopus.
While the comics depict her as a brilliant scientist and surgeon, the film portrays her more as a loyal (and perhaps slightly sadistic) accomplice. Silken Floss in the movie is dressed in a black outfit that wouldn’t look out of place in a stereotypical villain’s lair. Or you can chose to go with her original portrayal as a medical professional.
Sexy Schoolgirl
Starting and ending this list with some classics! The sexy schoolgirl is an all time classic costume with glasses.
Start with a pleated skirt in a classic plaid pattern, paired with a crisp white button-up shirt. For a touch of personality, add a brightly colored tie or a cute cardigan. Knee-high socks in a contrasting color peek out from underneath the skirt, and comfy saddle shoes complete the look. Keep the accessories simple – a pair of barrettes or a headband with a bow adds a youthful touch. This costume is fun and flirty, without being overly revealing.
