Who wouldn’t want to be a female Joker? I know so many people dress up as Harley Quinn. But why not mix it up this year and go as a female version of the Joker. Gender bent costumes are always super fun to do as you can loosely follow the overall look of the character, but you have much more creative freedom with the outfit. Think purple and green as the color scheme for this costume. This is one of my favorite gender bending Halloween costume ideas.
2. Negan

Anyone a Walking Dead fan? If so, why wouldn’t you want to be the most loved and hated villain of all Walking Dead history? Negan is both sexy and evil. This is a character you could have a lot of fun with dressing as a female version. Just make sure to have the leather jacket, red scarf, and Lucille the bat.

Who has seen any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? I am sure you’ve seen at least one and found yourself becoming obsessed with this pirate. This is another fun character to dress up as a female version. Make sure to get your drunken swagger down before you hit the town in this costume. Make sure to have a compass with this costume. You simply cannot be Jack Sparrow without the famous compass. Also, if you are really dedicated to the look, see if you can find any temporary tattoos that are similar to the character’s.

6. Darth Vader
/filters:quality(70)/content/nz/dn/k0vb61fq59e36fae43afe623990104_600x600.jpg)
As a huge Star Wars fan, I might take this idea for myself! A female Darth Vader look for Halloween will make the dark side flow through you. The mask is the most crucial part of this costume. Invest is a long black cape and maybe some black leather.
7. Jon Snow
/filters:quality(70)/content/b6/ei/tho8mtmq59e3764e73964244398490_600x600.jpg)
Game of Thrones anyone? This could be a more difficult gender bender costume idea, but with the right amount of time and research I am sure anyone can pull this off. Just remember, always look brooding. Winter is coming my friends. Do not forget the sword and the outfit should consist of black with more black.
8. Gambit
/filters:quality(70)/content/t1/bt/x1uhc58k59e3768c63589493783775_600x600.jpg)
Any X-men viewers here? Well if so, then maybe a female Gambit is the choice for you. If you don’t have a Louisiana accent, get to practicing. While you are at it, buy a deck of cards. This character has so much potential in the outfit department. Consider getting a long brown trench coat and some type of pink shirt. Also, don’t forget a silver staff.
9. Sherlock Holmes
/filters:quality(70)/content/wa/wf/obbktghm59e37713e4654450455871_600x600.jpg)
This is another common gender bender character idea I have seen. I don’t blame people. What isn’t to love about Sherlock Holmes? Make sure you have a pipe and a trench coat, maybe in a plaid pattern. You could pick up a magnifying glass as well, to tie together the look.
10. Harry Potter
/filters:quality(70)/content/up/yu/ctzlhnhb59e3785076acb685170448_600x600.jpg)
Harry Potter is another iconic character. It may feel weird changing the gender of this character, but Halloween is about being whatever you want to be! So, if you want to be a female Harry Potter, then you go out and get that cloak and wand. Then break out some makeup to create that scar on your forehead.
Do you know what you will be now for Halloween? Or maybe have ideas of what not to be? Halloween can be so much fun. So, dress up, go out, and have a great time!
