Top Star Wars: The Force Awakens Costumes for Halloween for Women and Girls!

Rey Force Awakens Costume

Rey Force Awakens Child Costume

The Force has awakened once more after years of pressing the snooze button, and that means it's time for a new Star Wars costume post! You can get a whole load of the new characters in women's costume or unisex version, starting with the mysterious and powerful protagonist herself, Rey, featured above. Each of these costumes comes with the top, pants, detached sleeves and leather-look cuff, and belt with pouch. Her desert staff weapon is available here, and a more three dimensional version of her matching side bag as well as her desert veil from the beginning of the movie are also available.

BB-8 Costume for Kids

Women's BB-8 Dress Costume

Star Wars Finn Costume

This one is a very cute option for kids who fell in love with R2D2's successor, the adorable BB-8. As well as looking super cool, the costume above on the left is very easy to set up: it has a little fan inside which keeps it inflated. If that's not your style, you can get a non-inflatable version of the costume here. There's sadly no exact equivalent for adults, but you can get a super cute BB-8 skater dress like the one above, which comes with the dress and the matching headpiece.

There sadly isn't a dedicated Finn costume for women yet, but the kids of both genders should have no trouble with the cute Finn costume featured above. Adults can try out the men's costume: its a bit broad shouldered but it can be made to work! Be careful in choosing your size: air on the small side.

Finally, let's get on to some villains. First of all, Phasma! Because after Game of Thrones Gwendoline Christie seems to have been type-cast as a boss-armor wearing sort, and that is awesome. The costume above comes with the armor and matching belt, a two piece helmet and the cap. The matching stormtrooper blaster you see in the picture is available here.

Finally, to indulge the emo-uh-I mean dark sider within us all, on the left we have Kylo Ren! Each of these creepy costume sets includes the dark robe, a hooded cape, the belt, and the iconic mask. You can get his awesome three bladed lightsaber here, and some (presumably lightsaber-proof) Kylo Ren gloves to hold it with here.

So there you have it! That is my guide to dressing up as the new characters from Star Wars: the Force Awakens this Halloween. I hope you found everything you need and have a lot of fun! If you want to see costumes from the original two trilogies of Star Wars, you can check out my posts on those here.

There are plenty of them out there in the style of all the major Star Wars characters, so I've narrowed it down to my favorite ten to save you time. Let's take a look!

At the top of this post we have two cute Princess Leia costumes including an adorable romper for toddlers, while just above we have two of Padme Amidala's costumes, including her bold and alien Queen regalia.

Star Wars Child's Darth Vader Costume

Star Wars Darth Vader Costume Dress

You can't have a post on Star Wars costumes without mentioning one of the most iconic villains of all time, the black-suited Darth Vader. He has a lot of costumes to his name, so I've just picked out my two favorites. For those who want an exact costume, check out the one on the left, while on the right is a pretty cool dress costume inspired by Vadar's look.

Star Wars Storm Trooper Costume Dress

Star Wars Classic Stormtrooper Child Costume

Here's a great set of costume for a Sith themed party, with the Birthday boy or girl being Vadar and everyone else joining his army of Imperial Stormtroopers, terrible marksmanship skills and everything. Once again we have two alternative style of this great look, one that mirrors the movie and another movie-inspired dress costume. 

Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Costume Dress

Star Wars Boba Fett Costume Dress

Last but not least, we have another two dress-inspired versions of famous Star Wars costumes that girls are sure to love, one based on Luke's X-Wing Fighter bodysuit and the other on the fearsome bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Group Costume Ideas: Star Wars

Rubie's Costume Women's Star Wars Darth Vader Woman's Deluxe Costume Jumpsuit

Rubie's Star Wars
Stormtrooper Costume

In anticipation of the upcoming Disney reboot of the Star Wars franchise, here's another fun group costume idea for fancy dress parties and Halloween for all you nerdy chicks out there. I confess to being a Trek girl myself, but even I can admit the costumes in the Star Wars movies are iconic, memorable, and a tonne of fun to dress up with. Here's a guide to all my favorites!

Rubie's Costume Star Wars
Female Jedi, Brown

Up above is one of the most famous movie villains of all time, the one and only Darth Vadar, in women's costume form. It comes with everything you need: a sleek and sexy jumpsuit with cape, belt, and mask. There is also a beautiful and cute Darth Vadar dress costume available here. I think a full Vadar helmet looks a lot sweeter than the headpiece that comes with it though, so remember you can pick up a Vadar mask separately here! 

Star Wars X
Wing Fighter

If you really want to go all out with either costume, check out this cool Vadar breathing effects generator, so you have constantly have that iconic sound effect playing. Also. Darth Vadar light-saber. You need it. No excuses. 

Every Sith apprentice/master needs an army of Stormtroopers to shoot wildly at the good guys and probably miss with every shot (so don't forget to bring your blaster!). Well, there's a cool Stormtrooper jumpsuit available above on the right. You can get matching go-go boots to complete the look here.

If you're looking to play the hero, check out the Jedi costume on the left, which comes with the tunic, pants with attached boot tops, and the matching belt, or an X-wing fighter costume on the right in a cute dress style. 

Rubie's Costume Women's
Star Wars Boba Fett

Sometimes you just don't want to get involved with all this light side, dark side of the force nonsense and just go independent. Check out this cute costume jumpsuit based on the costume of the much beloved Boba Fett, bounty hunter and general badass. Each costume comes with everything you see: the jumpsuit with attached cape, the belt and a two piece helmet. You can also get a very pretty dress version of the costume here.

Princess Leia Costume

Leia Slave Costume

I couldn't write a post on Star Wars costumes for women without including Princess Leia! Hey, now that Star War is owned by Disney, is she now one of the Disney Princesses? I'd vote for that. Anyway, check out the very cute costume above based on her iconic outfit in A New Hope up above, which comes with the slinky and very sexy dress, matching belt, and even the wig. You can get the matching go-go boots here.

The wig makes things easy, but if you want to have a go at styling your own hair in the iconic Leia hairbuns, check out this fun video tutorial on how to do it - note that you will need either very thick hair or hair extensions. 

Just as much as I couldn't do a post on Star Wars costumes without Princess Leia, nor could I forget to mention the ah...slave girl outfit. You know the one. What. It was the 80s. But yes, its skimpy, its sexy, and its a tonne of fun if you have a lot of confidence! The cute version on the right comes with the bikini top, choker, draped skirt, armband and matching headpiece. I highly recommend not choosing this for a winter party.

Star Wars Padme Naberrie Amidala Cosplay Costume

Secret Wishes Star
Wars Padme
Amidala Costume

The prequel movies get a lot of stick, but to be honest I never thought they were that bad. Maybe I was just distracted by all the cool costumes and kick-ass lightsaber duels (Duel of Fates for the win). I always especially liked the costumes of Padme Amidala, mother of Luke and Leia and ever unfortunate love interest of Anakin Skywalker. My favorites were her two costumes in Attack of the Clones, featured above and to the right.

Pink Queen Artoo Star

If Padme's royal outfit in The Phantom Menace is your favorite look, you can pick up that costume here. If you are going for the Phantom Menace look, be sure to check out this awesome video tutorial on how to do her makeup. 

And there you have it, every Star Wars costume you could possibly need for girls night out on the convention scene or sci-fi Halloween party. I hope you found a costume that's perfect for you and have a lot of fun! If you liked this post, be sure to check out the rest of my blog for lots of fun themed costume ideas for women. Oh, and just as a treat, here's an R2D2 mini-dress on the left. It's not quite a costume, but I loved it so I couldn't leave it out. May the force be with you!
