Good news: there is no shortage of inspiration. The members themselves have dressed up plenty of times (in a way only BTS could pull off), the music videos are full of outfits that turn into costumes in no time, and BT21 saves the day for anyone who wants something cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We put it all together in this guide: the costumes the seven wore in their Halloween dance practices, era-inspired ideas for girls and guys, BT21 and ARMY BOMB costumes, makeup and, for anyone heading to a concert, what we know about going in costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#F4EEFB;border:1px solid #E6DAF6;border-radius:22px;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-family:Fredoka,sans-serif;font-size:20px;color:#2A0F47\">In this guide<\/p>\n<ol style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.7\"><li><a href=\"#bts-dressed-up\">The costumes BTS have worn<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#group\">Group costume: 7 friends, 7 members<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#dope\">Dope costume: the music video uniforms<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#eras\">BTS costume ideas for girls and guys by era<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#bt21\">BT21 costume<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#army-bomb\">ARMY and ARMY BOMB costume<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#makeup\">BTS makeup<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#concert\">Costumes at a BTS concert<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"bts-dressed-up\"><\/span>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The BTS Halloween costumes the members actually wore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2014 and 2017, Halloween became a tradition on the official BANGTANTV channel: the members filmed dance practices in costume (the &#8220;Halloween ver.&#8221; videos). They are the best inspiration you could ask for, because each member picked a character that suits him perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2014: War of Hormone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first Halloween dance practice, released on November 4, 2014, was set to &#8220;War of Hormone&#8221;, from the <a href=\"\/en\/bts-2014\/\">Dark &#038; Wild<\/a> era. The cast of villains and movie characters looked like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RM:<\/strong> Dracula<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jin:<\/strong> Jack Sparrow, from Pirates of the Caribbean<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>SUGA:<\/strong> Chucky, the killer doll<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>j-hope:<\/strong> prisoner in a striped uniform<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jimin:<\/strong> Charlie Chaplin<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V:<\/strong> the Joker<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jung Kook:<\/strong> the Grim Reaper, hood and all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"[BANGTAN BOMB] War of hormone  in Halloween\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZxEly3yz-1g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2015: the live Halloween party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On October 29, 2015, the group held the &#8220;Halloween Party with BTS&#8221; live on Naver\u2019s V app. They opened by performing &#8220;Dope&#8221; in costume and then changed into suits to sing &#8220;I NEED U&#8221;. The official behind-the-scenes video shows each member\u2019s costume and why he chose it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RM:<\/strong> Gudetama, the lazy egg, in a onesie, with the plush toy as a bonus.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jin:<\/strong> a pumpkin. He had picked a mummy, but gave up after trying it on because he couldn\u2019t see a thing (he almost danced like that!).<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>SUGA:<\/strong> Naruto. His first idea was No-Face, from Spirited Away, but his face wouldn\u2019t show; he switched to Naruto, which matched his blond hair at the time.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>j-hope:<\/strong> Darth Vader, from Star Wars, in a hooded version so his face would show, with a lightsaber that lights up.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jimin:<\/strong> a wizard, with the Mickey-style sorcerer hat and white gloves.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V:<\/strong> a vampire. He was torn between Harley Quinn and Dracula because he really wanted to look scary, and went all in with the vampire fangs, bloody tears and red contact lenses.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jung Kook:<\/strong> Detective Conan. He considered Kingsman, Iron Man and L, from Death Note, and changed his mind days later; the glasses and the tranquilizer dart watch were the highlight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official party video is on BANGTANTV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"[BTS NAVER STAR CAST] Halloween party with BTS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RkRiVwR2uBQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2016: 21st Century Girl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, the costumes got a lot cuter (and funnier). The &#8220;21st Century Girl&#8221; dance practice came out on October 29, 2016, with this cast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RM:<\/strong> Ryan, the Kakao Friends lion<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jin:<\/strong> a cowboy, riding a toy horse<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>SUGA:<\/strong> hanbok, the traditional Korean outfit<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>j-hope:<\/strong> a skeleton<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jimin:<\/strong> a cabbage (yes, a cabbage)<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V:<\/strong> Syaoran Li, from Cardcaptor Sakura<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jung Kook:<\/strong> a giant bunny<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"[BANGTAN BOMB] &amp;apos;21\uc138\uae30 \uc18c\ub140 (21st Century Girl)&amp;apos; Dance Practice (Halloween ver.) - BTS (\ubc29\ud0c4\uc18c\ub144\ub2e8)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6tUumjx2BWw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2017: Go Go, Snow White and the dwarfs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2017, for the first time, the costumes were coordinated: the &#8220;Go Go&#8221; dance practice, released on October 27, turned into a fairy tale. The seven played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would be Snow White, and V won the role, apple in hand. RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin and Jung Kook were the dwarfs. It is the perfect inspiration for a group costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"[BANGTAN BOMB] &amp;apos;\uace0\ubbfc\ubcf4\ub2e4 GO (GOGO)&amp;apos; Dance Practice (Halloween ver.) - BTS (\ubc29\ud0c4\uc18c\ub144\ub2e8)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fl54gG0B8I0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, their schedule got busier and the Halloween dance practices stopped. In 2019 the group still posted Halloween videos on TikTok, and the spooky vibe was back in <strong>Run BTS! EP.24 \u2013 BTS vs Zombies<\/strong>, which aired on October 24, 2017, with the seven running from zombies at the Everland theme park. Worth a watch before your party:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Run BTS! 2017 EP.24 - BTS vs \u110c\u1169\u11b7\u1107\u1175\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KLzWCC74itE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to revisit each era from those years?

Recreating the members\u2019 own BTS Halloween costumes is a guaranteed hit. Each person picks a member and copies his costume: the 2014 villains, the cute 2016 characters or the 2017 Snow White and the dwarfs (whoever ends up as Snow White in rock-paper-scissors wears the dress, just like in the video). It works with 7 friends, but also with fewer: you can just do a Snow White and dwarf duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bn-pins\" style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:12px;justify-content:center;margin:20px 0 6px\"><a data-pin-do=\"embedPin\" data-pin-width=\"medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/375628425189407897\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View on Pinterest<\/a><a data-pin-do=\"embedPin\" data-pin-width=\"medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/375628425189408435\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View on Pinterest<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;font-size:13px;color:#55466B;margin:0 0 20px\">Group costumes inspired by the 2014 Halloween and the 2017 Snow White.

In the concept photos and the music video, each member wears the uniform of a different job, which makes it really easy: you can put it together with clothes you already own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>RM:<\/strong> military look<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jin:<\/strong> doctor, in a white coat<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>SUGA:<\/strong> navy officer<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>j-hope:<\/strong> race car driver, with a helmet<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jimin:<\/strong> office worker<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V:<\/strong> detective, with a bow tie and magnifying glass<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Jung Kook:<\/strong> police officer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"BTS (\ubc29\ud0c4\uc18c\ub144\ub2e8) &amp;apos;\uca54\uc5b4&amp;apos; Official MV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H8lYMWZD5P8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"eras\"><\/span>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BTS costume ideas for girls and guys by era<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn\u2019t have to be a &#8220;character&#8221; costume: a look inspired by a BTS era already counts, and you can wear it again later. <strong>BTS costume ideas for girls<\/strong> and for guys start from the same idea; what changes is the piece (skirt or pants, corset or shirt). Some eras that work really well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Boy With Luv (2019):<\/strong> pink everything, from the suit to the sneakers. The easiest one to pull off as a group.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Dynamite (2020):<\/strong> retro and colorful, with bold colors, prints and old-school styled hair.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Butter (2021):<\/strong> pop and full of style; rewatch the music video and pick your bias\u2019s look.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Blood Sweat &#038; Tears (2016):<\/strong> the elegant, dark option, with classic-style shirts and refined accessories.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>ARIRANG (2026):<\/strong> the current era, in red, black and white.

If you prefer something more low-key, just wear a hat or headband shaped like the light stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bn-pins\" style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:12px;justify-content:center;margin:20px 0 6px\"><a data-pin-do=\"embedPin\" data-pin-width=\"medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/928023066938235286\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View on Pinterest<\/a><a data-pin-do=\"embedPin\" data-pin-width=\"medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/792844709443574939\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View on Pinterest<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;font-size:13px;color:#55466B;margin:0 0 20px\">The giant ARMY BOMB (with a tutorial) and a crochet hat shaped like the light stick.

As of this guide, <strong>no official rule about costumes had been published<\/strong>. Live Nation, the organizer, said fan club projects would not be authorized and asked the audience to follow the list of allowed and prohibited items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our tip for BTS Halloween costumes on that date or at any other concert: check the official list of allowed items before you leave home, go for a simple costume with no large, heavy or pointy accessories, and remember the show is long and in a stadium. Everything about the tour is on our <a href=\"\/en\/bts-arirang-tour\/\">ARIRANG tour<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"faq\"><\/span>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BTS Halloween costumes FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did BTS dress up for Halloween?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Between 2014 and 2017 the group filmed dance practices in costume for the official BANGTANTV channel: &#8220;War of Hormone&#8221; (2014), &#8220;21st Century Girl&#8221; (2016) and &#8220;Go Go&#8221; (2017), plus the live Halloween party in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What were BTS\u2019s Halloween costumes in 2014?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the &#8220;War of Hormone&#8221; dance practice: RM as Dracula, Jin as Jack Sparrow, SUGA as Chucky, j-hope as a prisoner, Jimin as Charlie Chaplin, V as the Joker and Jung Kook as the Grim Reaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What were BTS\u2019s Halloween costumes in 2015?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the 2015 live Halloween party: RM as Gudetama, Jin as a pumpkin, SUGA as Naruto, j-hope as Darth Vader, Jimin as a wizard, V as a vampire and Jung Kook as Detective Conan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who was Snow White in BTS\u2019s Halloween dance practice?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">V, chosen by rock-paper-scissors, in the 2017 &#8220;Go Go&#8221; dance practice. The other six were the dwarfs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the easiest BTS costume to make?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Dope&#8221; ones (each member in the uniform of a different job) and the era looks, like the pink of Boy With Luv or the red and black of ARIRANG, because you can put them together with clothes you already own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I make an ARMY BOMB costume?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the giant version, use a clear ball or a big balloon on top of a black tube, with the BTS logo on the front. For something simpler, wear a hat or headband shaped like the light stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which BT21 character belongs to each member?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koya is RM\u2019s, RJ is Jin\u2019s, Shooky is SUGA\u2019s, Mang is j-hope\u2019s, Chimmy is Jimin\u2019s, Tata is V\u2019s and Cooky is Jung Kook\u2019s. Van represents ARMY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I wear a costume to a BTS concert?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of this guide, no official rule about costumes had been published for the October 31 S\u00e3o Paulo date. Check the organizer\u2019s list of allowed and prohibited items before the show and go for a simple costume, with no large or pointy accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what will your costume be this year?
