While Halloween is fun to celebrate, the holiday does present a dilemma: picking the right costume. One of the best ways you can conquer this feat is to base your look around a theme or color. A red-dress Halloween costume might seem like the obvious choice given that it's such a prominent color for the autumnal season, but we think that a green-dress Halloween costume is actually the key style to standing out this spooky season.

Creating a Halloween costume with a green dress is easier than you think. You can go for the Tinkerbell fairy look, with a daring, metallic dress and a set of wings. Or consider a vintage gown with gold detailing, like cartoon-favorite-character Fiona from "Shrek." Other popular green-dress costume ideas include a "Top Gun" flight dress, an elf, and the classic Winnie Sanderson from "Hocus Pocus."

In case you want to go with an unconventional ensemble, you can grab a bandeau dress and yellow body paint to channel Marge Simpson from "The Simpsons," like Lizzo and Cardi B, or a sculptural maxi like Beyoncé's Norma Kamali gown from her "Spirit" video. You can even go the comedic route and dress up like a pickle like "Jersey Shore'"s Snooki did in 2010, replete with a cape, sparkly sandals, and an embellished mini dress.

Keep scrolling for some of our picks of the best green-dress Halloween costumes. Then, browse a few shoppable picks so you can make 2023 the year you finally take home the prize for best dressed.
