Quick Answer: Todd’s costume comes down to the yellow beanie and red hoodie over blue hair.
  • Red Hoodie (essential)
  • White Shirt
  • Black Adidas Track Pants
  • Yellow Beanie (essential)
  • Blue Comb Hair Dye
  • Blue Flip Flop Sandals

Todd spends years forgiving BoJack for everything, then finally snaps at him in the Season 3 episode “It’s You” and never fully goes back to how things were. The yellow beanie is the one piece that carries across every version of him, suits, prison, disguises, so it’s doing more identification work than the rest of the outfit combined. Aaron Paul voices him for all six seasons, and the show stayed in steady Netflix rotation after ending in 2020 (Fandom), so Todd’s plain red-and-yellow color scheme is distinct enough that fans place it fast.

  • 1 Red Hoodie (essential)This is half the silhouette. A plain red zip-up, nothing branded or fashion-cut, worn open over the white shirt. Get the shade too dark or too bright and it stops matching the flat, primary-color palette the rest of the outfit is built on.

  • 2 White ShirtPlain white tee underneath the hoodie. Nobody’s checking the fit closely, it’s mostly there so the hoodie has something to zip over.

  • 3 Black Adidas Track PantsThe show actually has him in dark gray sweatpants with white side stripes, so black is close but not exact. Any relaxed, plain track pant in a dark shade reads fine at a party.
    See on Amazon
  • 4 Yellow Beanie (essential)This is the actual identifier. Todd wears it constantly, even under suits and costumes, so it’s doing more work than every other item combined. A beanie that’s too fitted or the wrong shade of yellow breaks the read fast, since the color needs to be flat and bright, not mustard or pastel.

  • 5 Blue Comb Hair DyeMatches his shaggy dark blue hair. Skip it if you don’t want to commit to actual dye, a blue wig under the beanie does the same job without the cleanup.

  • 6 Blue Flip Flop SandalsCheck your closet first. Any plain blue flip-flop works, and this is the item people are least likely to notice either way.

How to Style the Todd Chavez Halloween Costume

The beanie is the first thing people register, and if it’s missing or the wrong shade of yellow, the whole look drifts toward generic guy in a hoodie instead of Todd specifically. The blue hair matters more than people expect, since a plain hairstyle under the beanie loses half the color story the outfit is built around. At a party the hoodie and track pants alone won’t carry the costume, so if the beanie comes off for more than a few minutes, you’re just someone dressed for a lazy Saturday.

After years of forgiving BoJack for everything, Todd finally snaps and tells him, “You can’t keep doing sh*tty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay! You need to be better!” then adds that BoJack is all the things that are wrong with him, not the alcohol or the drugs or anything that happened to him as a kid. It’s the one time in the whole show Todd stops being the guy who forgives everything.

Size up the beanie for a long night

A tight-fitting beanie flattens your hair fast and starts to feel uncomfortable after a couple hours, so size up slightly if you’re wearing it all night. If you’re using temporary blue hair dye instead of a wig, test it on a small section first, since some brands stain lighter hair colors more than the box photo suggests.

Say “Hooray!” more than the moment deserves

Someone finding a parking spot, a song coming on, anything small. It’s one word, but it’s the fastest way to signal the character without saying anything else.

Todd Chavez Group Halloween Costume Ideas

Couples Idea

Todd Chavez & Princess Carolyn

Might work, but their relationship in the show is a working friendship, not a romance, so calling it a couples costume undersells what’s actually going on between them. The visual pairing still works, Todd’s flat primary colors against Princess Carolyn’s sharper, more polished look. Princess Carolyn’s page has the build if you want that half done right.

Duo Idea

Todd Chavez & BoJack Horseman

Excellent duo. They lived together for years and their dynamic is one of the show’s central relationships, so a red-and-yellow hoodie guy standing next to a gray-blazer horse reads clearly even to people who’ve only seen a few episodes. BoJack’s page covers that build if you want the full list.

Group Idea: BoJack Horseman Main Cast

Todd, BoJack Horseman, Princess Carolyn, Diane Nguyen, Mr. Peanutbutter

Excellent group. BoJack and Princess Carolyn already have their links used elsewhere on this page, so here they’re just names. Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter round out the core five, and the range from a golden retriever-coded dog to a plain-dressed writer keeps four people from blurring together.

Group Idea: Lovable Comedy Misfits

Todd, Eric Effiong, Clancy Gilroy, Michael Scott

Might work, but the connection is more thematic than visual, kind, slightly chaotic comic relief characters, since these four come from three completely different shows with nothing tying them together on sight. Eric’s bold fashion, Clancy’s rougher animation style, and Michael Scott’s plain office wear all look different enough that you’ll need to explain the theme before anyone gets it.

Todd Chavez Halloween Costume DIY Tips

Building the Look

Almost everything here is closet or thrift material except the beanie, which is worth getting the right color.

  • Hoodie: check your closet first, a plain red zip-up is common enough.
  • Shirt: any plain white tee works.
  • Track pants: dark and plain, skip buying if you own something close.
  • Beanie: buy this one. The exact yellow shade matters more than people expect.
  • Hair dye: optional, skip it and use a blue wig instead if you don’t want to commit to actual color.
  • Flip flops: check your closet first.

Playing Todd at the Party

Todd is endlessly upbeat and easily distracted, and he throws himself completely into whatever idea just occurred to him.

  • When someone asks who you are, pitch them a business idea instead of answering directly.
  • Say “Hooray!” more than the moment deserves.
  • If someone brings up something disappointing, respond with immediate, genuine optimism about the next thing.
  • His line to use, censored for polite company: “You can’t keep doing sh*tty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay!” Save it for something small, like someone eating the last slice of pizza.

Todd Chavez Halloween Costume: FAQ

Wear the red hoodie over a white shirt with dark track pants, add the yellow beanie, and finish with blue hair, real dye or a wig, and flip flops. The beanie is what actually makes this Todd instead of a guy in a red hoodie.

Yes. BoJack Horseman ended in 2020 but stays in steady Netflix rotation, and Todd is one of the show’s five main characters, not a background one. The yellow beanie and blue hair combination is distinct enough that people who’ve watched the show will place it fast.

Two lines cover him well: “You can’t keep doing sh*tty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay! You need to be better!” the moment he finally confronts BoJack after years of forgiving him, and the follow-up, “It’s not the alcohol, or the drugs, or any of the sh*tty things that happened to you. It’s you.” Both come from the same scene, and it’s the one time Todd stops being the nice one.

A wig works fine and it’s easier to remove at the end of the night. Real dye is an option if you want it to look more natural under the beanie, just test it on a small section first.

Try to get the shade close. It needs to be flat, bright yellow, not mustard or pastel, since that specific color is doing most of the identification work in this costume.

Any dark, plain pants work as a substitute. The show has him in gray sweatpants with white stripes, so the track pants in this list are already a stand-in, not a strict requirement.

Yes, it’s just a hoodie, a beanie, and blue hair, nothing revealing or complicated. Skip the confrontation quote if kids are around, since it does have some language in it.
