It's Never Too Early to Start Prepping Your M3GAN Halloween Costume

One of the horror genre's most sinister motifs, the haunted doll, received a 2023 upgrade in Universal Pictures's "M3GAN." At first glance, the doll resembles an unsettling version of a human child, but the lifelike android, programmed to "protect" her paired human to terrifying extremes, isn't your typical American Girl doll. She walks, talks, and wields a two-foot knife while rocking to the beat of her own twisted murder ritual — a habit that inspired one of TikTok's biggest dance trends earlier this year. Between being absolutely terrifying and surprisingly stylish, a M3GAN costume sounds like the perfect way to stir up some fun this Halloween. Besides the fact that she seems to be powered by vengeance and malice instead of batteries, M3GAN does share a few traits with your typical doll. Namely, the AI robot has a rotating collection of outfits made for a stroll through the park, a four-legged chase through the woods, or a premeditated escapade into the neighbor's basement. From her preppy peplum coat to her blood-spattered perfectly polished khaki dress, M3GAN's immaculate looks are part of what makes her the creeptastic robot we love to hate. Months out from the holiday, many TikTok users have already planned their M3GAN-inspired Halloween costumes, complete with wavy blond wigs and patent-leather Mary Janes. While many of the pieces from her outfits are custom, that hasn't stopped hundreds of horror lovers from showing the villainous robot some sartorial love on social media with their own M3GAN costumes. Since it's never too early to start planning for Halloween, we rounded up a few ideas to replicate the rogue AI doll's signature style. From her classic babydoll dress to the more elegant pieces in her wardrobe, each of these M3GAN costumes will leave your friends, family, and neighbors stunned at the next Halloween party. Ahead, see how to dress like the horror-movie villain and check out some of our favorite M3GAN Halloween costumes to grace TikTok so far. 49235959
