Quick Answer: The Candy Girl costume comes down to the “KISS ME” mask and a stylized white bridal look.
  • White Corset Bustier (essential)
  • White Ballet Skirt
  • Candy Girl Kiss Me Mask (essential)
  • Pink Underwear
  • Thigh High Stockings
  • Thigh High Boots
  • Hair Bun Extension
  • Airsoft Electric Gun AK BT-022
  • Yellow Liquid Dye
  • Fake Blood

Kimmy tries to steal a candy bar, gets caught, and comes back that night with an armed gang to burn the store down over it. The white “KISS ME” mask is the one piece that actually identifies this as her costume, since the rest of the outfit alone just reads as a stylized bride. She’s a secondary character in The Purge: Election Year, not a franchise lead, but the mask was designed specifically for the film by JDMorgan Studios (Fear Fashion), and costume sellers have marketed the look under the nickname “Candy Girl” for years, so the mask gets placed by anyone who’s seen the movie even if they never learn her actual name.

Candy Girl Kimmy The Purge Kiss Me Mask
  • 1 White Corset Bustier (essential)This is the base of the bridal shape, standing in for the film’s actual distressed wedding gown. A corset is more costume-party practical than a full dress, and it still gets the white, structured silhouette across. Swap it for a plain white top and the whole look drifts toward generic white outfit instead of twisted bride.

  • 2 White Ballet SkirtPairs with the corset to finish the stylized bridal shape. This is a costume-shop stand-in for her actual gown, not a literal match, so don’t stress about getting the exact cut.
    See on Amazon
  • 3 Candy Girl Kiss Me Mask (essential)This is the actual identifier. The words “KISS ME” printed across the mouth are what separate this from any other white mask, so don’t substitute a plain white masquerade mask and expect it to read the same. Skip the mask and you’re just someone in a white corset.
    See on Amazon
  • 4 Pink UnderwearWorn under the skirt for coverage, not something visible in most reference photos. Any plain pink underwear works, this isn’t a detail anyone’s going to check.
    See on Amazon
  • 5 Thigh High StockingsWhite stockings finish the bridal color story from the waist down. Any plain white pair works, the stockings themselves aren’t doing identification work on their own.
    See on Amazon
  • 6 Thigh High BootsThe film actually shows combat boots, not thigh highs, so this is a stylized swap rather than a literal match. Wear whatever’s comfortable since neither option gets scrutinized closely.
    See on Amazon
  • 7 Hair Bun ExtensionKimmy’s actual look includes a bridal veil, which isn’t in this item list at all. A bun stands in fine on its own, or add a cheap craft-store veil on top of it if you want the look closer to the film.
    See on Amazon
  • 8 Airsoft Electric Gun AK BT-022A prop rifle for the AK-style gun she carries in the film. Check your venue’s rules on prop weapons before bringing this anywhere, some parties and venues don’t allow realistic-looking guns at all.
    See on Amazon
  • 9 Yellow Liquid DyeThis is for coloring the airsoft gun so it reads clearly as a toy rather than a real weapon. Worth doing regardless of local laws, since a realistic black rifle at a crowded party makes people nervous for good reason.
    See on Amazon
  • 10 Fake BloodA small amount goes a long way on white fabric. Start light, since it’s much easier to add more than to tone down an outfit that’s already fully soaked.

How to Style the Candy Girl Halloween Costume

The mask is the first thing people register, and if you swap it for a generic white masquerade mask without the “KISS ME” text, the whole look reads as vague bride-horror instead of this specific character. The white-on-white color story across the corset, skirt, and stockings needs to actually hold together, since one stray off-white piece breaks the bridal read from across a room. At a dark party, fake blood on white fabric is what carries the costume once the mask comes off for a drink, so a completely clean outfit under the mask just looks like a ballet costume that wandered into the wrong party.

Kimmy gets shot in the ear by Marcos during her first attempt to reclaim the candy bar, scowls, and announces she’s already murdered her own parents that night before driving off. She treats getting shot as a minor inconvenience on the way to a bigger plan.

Take the mask off to eat, not to talk

A full face mask makes it hard to eat or drink at a party, and the “KISS ME” text only reads correctly when people can actually see your mouth area from the front. Push the mask up or take it off between photos rather than trying to eat through it, and put it back on when someone’s got a camera up.

Let the rifle do the explaining

Carrying the toy rifle gives you an obvious answer when someone asks what the costume is, since the corset and skirt alone don’t point to The Purge specifically. Just check with whoever’s hosting before you bring it inside, a lot of venues have blanket rules against prop guns regardless of the yellow dye job.

Candy Girl Group Halloween Costume Ideas

Couples Idea

Candy Girl & Uncle Sam (The Purge)

Might work, but these two never actually appear together in the film, so the pairing is two masked Purge villains from the same movie rather than anything the story connects. It reads fine as a matched set for people who know the franchise, red-white-blue patriotic horror next to a stylized bride. Uncle Sam’s page has the full build for that half.

Candy Girl Purge Uncle Sam

Duo Idea

Candy Girl & Demon Purger (The Purge)

Strong duo for a crowd that knows the franchise, since both are recognizable Purge masks even though they come from different films. The stark white bridal mask against Demon Purger’s darker, more aggressive design gives real visual contrast in photos. Demon Purger’s page covers that build if you want the full list.

Candy Girl Demon Purger

Group Idea: The Purge Squad

Candy Girl, Purge Uncle Sam, Demon Purger, The First Purger, Purge Mask Character

Strong group for a crowd into horror movies specifically, since all of these are Purge-branded masks rather than characters most casual moviegoers would name individually. The First Purger and the unnamed Purge Mask Character don’t have pages here yet, so those two builds are on you, burlap and generic horror masks are the core reference points. It works as a themed set even without anyone knowing the actual plot.

Group Idea: Iconic Creepy & Sinister Doll-Like Characters

Candy Girl, M3GAN, Annabelle, Chucky, Esther

Might work, but Candy Girl isn’t actually a doll character, she’s a teenage killer in a bridal costume, so the connection here is unsettling feminine horror figure rather than anything literal. The mix of a robot doll, a porcelain doll, a killer toy, and a kid works visually since they’re all different scales and textures, but you’ll want to explain why the bride is standing in this group.

Candy Girl Halloween Costume DIY Tips

Building the Look

The mask is worth buying specifically. Most of the rest is closet or costume-shop material.

  • Corset and skirt: costume shops carry white corset-and-skirt sets seasonally, or thrift a plain white corset and pair it with any white skirt you can find.
  • Mask: buy this one. A generic white masquerade mask won’t have the text that actually identifies the character.
  • Underwear and stockings: whatever you already own in white or pink works fine.
  • Boots: any boot works since the film’s actual combat boots aren’t what this list uses anyway.
  • Hair bun: skip it if your own hair is long enough to pull into a bun yourself.
  • Rifle prop: only worth buying if you’re comfortable carrying a prop weapon in public, check your venue first.
  • Dye and fake blood: cheap, easy to skip, but the blood especially does a lot of work on an all-white outfit.

Playing Candy Girl at the Party

Kimmy treats extreme violence as a fun night out, and she never once seems bothered by anything happening around her.

  • When someone asks who you are, just say “I want my candy bar back” and refuse to elaborate.
  • If someone bumps into you or spills a drink on you, respond like it’s a personal betrayal that demands a full response.
  • Her actual line to use, censored for polite company: “Happy Purge, you old f**k!” Say it to whoever’s hosting the party.
  • Laugh at things that aren’t funny. It’s unsettling and it’s accurate.

Candy Girl Halloween Costume: FAQ

Wear the white corset and skirt as the base, add the thigh high stockings and boots, then finish with the “KISS ME” mask. The mask is doing most of the identification work, so get that piece right even if you improvise the rest.

Depends on your crowd. She’s a secondary character in one Purge sequel, not a franchise lead, but the “KISS ME” mask has become one of the more recognizable images from the whole series among horror fans specifically. At a general party, expect people to clock “creepy bride” before they place the exact character.

Two lines cover her: “Happy Purge, you old f**k!,” shouted at Joe Dixon when she returns to settle her grudge, and “I killed my parents… and you’re next!,” which she announces mid-assault with visible enjoyment.

The corset and skirt work fine. The film’s actual gown is a full distressed wedding dress, but most costume guides use a corset and skirt combo since it’s easier to move in and easier to find.

Good catch, there isn’t one. The film’s Kimmy wears a bridal veil, but you can add a cheap one from a craft store on top of the hair bun if you want that detail without hunting for it in this specific list.

No, it’s optional. It gives people an obvious clue about which movie the costume is from, but the mask and outfit work without it if you’d rather not carry a prop gun.

No. The character is built around murder and arson over a stolen candy bar, the mask itself is designed to be unsettling, and a fake rifle prop isn’t something you want around kids regardless of the yellow paint job.
