17 Costume Ideas for Mixed Asians This Halloween

Mixed Asian Media - October 6, 2023

By Hayley Palmer

Struggling to find a Halloween costume? Look no further! Whether you’ll be partying, trick-or-treating, or handing out candy, here are some costumes for all of your Halloween needs. Happy Halloween from all of us at MAM!

Olivia Rodrigo

Everyone’s favorite pop star gives us so many options to choose from. Choose a look from her music videos, an album cover, or even a memorable outfit from the red carpet!

Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty

Missing the summer? Choose one of Lola Tung’s outfits to recreate! And if you can find friends to dress as the rest of the Cousins Beach crew, make it a group costume.

Neo from The Matrix

Whether you want to be a young, ’90s Keanu Reeves or his long-haired 2021 counterpart, all you need are black clothes. And don’t forget the sunglasses!

Suki from 2 Fast 2 Furious

A top result for those of us who have desperately searched up “Halloween costumes for Asian girls,” Devon Aoki’s role remains a classic.

Bruce Lee

Did you know Bruce Lee was mixed Asian? Because we didn’t! He has lots of films to choose a costume from, like Game of Death, Enter the Dragon, and Fist of Fury. And for some of them, you won’t even need a shirt.

Gabriella and Troy from High School Musical and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

Whether you want to be Vanessa Hudgens’ original Gabriella or Olivia Rodrigo’s Nini, all you really need for this costume is a red dress. And a willing partner.

Laura Jean and John Ambrose from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

Lana Condor and Jordan Fisher played the mixed-Asian power couple that could’ve been… 

Izzie and Casey from Atypical

If you have an old-school uniform in the back of your closet, why not dress as Fivel Stewart’s show-stealing role?

Jasmine and Aladdin from Aladdin

Dress up as the bejeweled Princess Jasmine (played by Naomi Scott), or the loveable Aladdin, and if you have a third person, they can be Genie.

Alina, Mal and/or the Darkling from Shadow and Bone

The show’s love triangle gives you options! If you dress as Jessie Mei Li’s Alina, you can have either the Darkling or Mal (played by Archie Renaux) by your side.

Nick and Rachel from Crazy Rich Asians

Henry Golding’s costume can be put together last-minute with almost anything from your closet that you’ve worn to someone’s wedding.

Mantis and Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy

Pom Klementieff and David Bautista’s costumes are the more ambitious ones on this list, but definitely worth the work!

Tao from Heartstopper

Get the whole crew together for a Heartstopper costume! Maybe avoid getting William Gao’s controversial Season 1 haircut though.

Beast Boy and Robin from (Teen) Titans

The CW show gave us Ryan Potter and Jay Lycurgo as mixed-Asian Beast Boy and Robin in this rendition of the DC comics.

Reggie from Riverdale

Mourn (or celebrate) the end of Riverdale with this costume! Fun fact: Reggie was played by two mixed-Asian actors, Ross Butler originated the role in Season 1 and was later replaced by Charles Melton.

Lara Jean, Margot, and Kitty from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

Get your siblings together to dress as everyone’s favorite Netflix sisters. Or go solo as Anna Cathcart’s now-teenaged character in XO, Kitty.

Hiro from Big Hero 6

Can you believe Big Hero 6 came out nearly a decade ago? If you can get your friends to agree to this group costume, you’ll probably have the easiest outfit as Ryan Potter’s Hiro Hamada.
