Storybook Halloween Costume Ideas in 2026

This tag covers storybook and literary characters, the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat's Wonderland cast especially, alongside a few other page-to-screen adaptations. These characters were designed to be illustrated first, which makes them naturally costume-friendly.

Bold color and exaggerated features carry a lot of these looks, illustrated characters tend to have simpler, more graphic designs than live-action ones. Lean into that rather than trying to add unnecessary realism.
