It was a decade of disco balls, platform shoes, and, of course, outrageously fun costumes. Of course, we’re talking about the 1970s, an era of iconic characters, far-out fads, and enough DIY magic to make your costume the envy of the block. As we look back at some of the decade’s most memorable looks, you might be surprised to disover that some of these 1970s Halloween costumes are still trendy today:

Farrah Fawcett’s feathered hairstyle wasn’t just a style choice but a cultural phenomenon. Halloween provided the perfect excuse to go all out with this iconic look. Think big, voluminous waves teased to perfection, ideally paired with a swimsuit and a sarong for a touch of California beach vibes.

The release of Star Wars in 1977 was a pop-culture supernova, and Halloween costumes rode the wave. Kids (and some daring adults!) donned white plastic stormtrooper armor, complete with helmets that masked their identities. These costumes were a symbol of the film’s futuristic world and the immense allure of space exploration.

Kung Fu Fury

Bruce Lee’s martial arts films took the world by storm in the 1970s, inspiring a generation of wannabe kung fu masters. Halloween costumes mirrored this craze. Kids sported black gi uniforms, belts tied around their waists, and (with varying degrees of success) mimicked nunchuck skills they’d picked up from movie marathons.

Sonny and Cher Couples Act

This iconic couple was known for their flamboyant style and musical chemistry, making them a perfect choice for a playful couple’s costume. Sonny could channel his signature look with a sharp tuxedo and slicked-back hair, while Cher could unleash her inner fashionista in a fringed minidress, go-go boots, and a bold-colored wig.
