Got superhero fantasies this Halloween, but are searching for a group costume that’s a little less serious than, say, the Justice League? If you have at least four members of your tribe that will be involved in playing dress-up—baby optional, but always welcome—this DIY Incredibles Halloween family costume is adorable and so simple to make using affordable finds from Amazon.
Incredibles Family Halloween Costume
Fans of both the original Incredibles film and Incredibles 2 will get a kick out of recreating the iconic red superhero costumes worn by mom Helen (a.k.a. Elastigirl), dad Bob (Mr. Incredible), and kids Violet, Dash, and even baby Jack, who has some serious superhero powers.
Don’t drop a ton of money on official Incredibles costumes that you’ll wear once and never look at again. These pieces work for both Halloween and, with a bit of creativity, you can repurpose them to include in your everyday wardrobe.
How To DIY An Incredibles Family Halloween Costume
For Mr. Incredible - Ensnovo Adult One Piece Unitard ($26)
The first essential you’ll need when recreating any Incredibles costume is a bright red bodysuit, which is a key piece worn by every member of the Incredibles family. This men’s bodysuit is made from comfortable, stretchy lycra spandex and it comes in six sizes that range from small to XXX-large.
For Elastagirl - Urban K Jumpsuits ($8)
This women’s red bodysuit is perfect for the character of Helen. While it lacks sleeves, it more than makes up for them with a price tag that is under $10. You can also compensate by wearing a longer pair of black gloves—which is another Helen trademark. This jumpsuit is made of breathable cotton and stretchy spandex and has a scooped neck.
For The Kids - Sheface Bodysuits ($25)
Don’t forget the kiddies. This child’s size red catsuit comes in sizes small to large and is made to fit boys and girls. It’s made from a blend of polyester and spandex and features a zipper on the back and foot coverings, which are great for keeping little ones warm while they’re out trick or treating.
For Mr. Incredible - Speedo PowerFlex Eco Solid Brief Swimwear ($15-40)
Here’s one time when wearing a speedo is a really good idea: when men wear it over their red bodysuit in Mr. Incredibles fashion. It doesn’t hurt that this is actually a quality swimsuit — feel free to wear it to the beach or by the pool long after Halloween is over.
For Elastagirl - Septangle Full Coverage Bikini Bottom ($16-22)
This simple hipster-style swim brief in black can be worn over your bodysuit for the Helen costume. It has a full bottom and even has UPF 50+ protection, so there’s no doubt you’ll save this piece for the summer.
For The Kids - Hanes Boys Jersey Short ($3-15.23)
If the kids in your Halloween crew feel awkward about wearing a bikini bottom out and about, no worries: these boy’s shorts in black will get the superhero point across just the same. They’re made from comfy 100 percent cotton and have side pockets to stash all of that extra Halloween candy.
For Violet - French Toast Girls’ Kick Short ($6-13)
For Violet, these black bicycle shorts are the perfect alternative to a black bikini bottom. They come in toddler, little, and big girl sizes, are made from cotton and elastane, and have an elastic waistband.
For The Whole Family - Topenka Supplies ($7.08)
You don’t have to buy orange belts for every member of the family. Save time and money by simply wrapping this orange ribbon around your waists to divide your bodysuit from your black bikini bottoms or shorts.
For The Whole Family - Hitop Over Knee Leg Warmer ($8)
Mr. Incredible, Helen, Violet, and Dash all sport black boots during their superhero adventures—but unless you actually want to invest in a pair of thigh-high boots, you will save serious money by keeping things simple: these thigh-high black socks work for both women and girls. They’re also thick, durable, and really warm. It’s then up to you whether you want to wear a black boot over these socks or treat your feet to a comfortable pair of sneakers (remember: DIY costumes are all about creativity — they don’t have to mimic the actual costume to a tee).
As for Mr. Incredible and Dash, calf-length black socks are all you need — wear them with black sneakers, walking shoes, or Chelsea boots.
For The Whole Family - Seeksmile Gloves ($8)
Whatever you do, don’t forget to include a pair of black gloves in your Halloween DIY planning (because you can’t leave fingerprints behind on secret missions).
For The Parents - Cos Pro Harlequin Leather Eye Mask ($11)
This eye mask will protect the identities of Mr. Incredible and Helen.
For The Kids - Canshow Superhero Felt Eye Masks ($7)
And this mask is perfect for the kiddies.
For The Whole Family - The Incredibles Movie Stickers ($8.50 for a Four Pack)
Technically, this four-pack of Incredibles logo stickers are meant to be placed on car windows and bumpers, but there’s no reason why you can’t peel one off and stick it right onto the front of your red bodysuit to complete your look.
For Baby Jack - Monag Baby Long-Sleeve Romper ($12-13)
Last, but not least, if you do have a baby playing dress-up this Halloween, here’s the perfect long-sleeve red romper to play baby Jack. It has snap buttons at the bottom for quick and easy diaper changes and will take you from daytime naps (and trick or treating) to nighttime slumber.
