Anyone else still not over the Barbie craze? With pretty pink visuals, a catchy soundtrack, and a clever, emotional, and absolutely hilarious script—how could you be? Most everyone will want to attend the Barbie party for years to come! Just talking about it should make you want to whip up some Barbie-inspired recipes and watch it over and over again. (Luckily, Barbie is available to stream!)
Oh! And don't forget the fabulous outfits seen throughout the film like cowgirl chic getup and groovy disco wear. Speaking of that wonderful wardrobe, Barbie costumes will continue to be a popular (and correct) choice for Halloween in 2025, but what about Ken? He might just be Ken, but every Barbie needs her strapping sidekick! Or you can embody the dashing doll sans Barbie... you know, Mojo Dojo Casa House style. Either way, there are plenty of Ken Halloween costumes to choose from.
Whether you're planning an elaborate couples costume, searching for the best pop culture costumes or just need last-minute Halloween costumes for your Halloween parties, you can definitely bring the Kenergy with these ideas. So, take a look at the shoppable costume ideas taken straight from Ryan Gosling's movie looks. You'll find pieces at stores for the aforementioned cowboy costume as well as his effortlessly cool denim set, brightly striped beachwear, and of course, a faux-fur number that's worthy of its own song and dance number. Winning smile not included!
Beach Ken Costume
Perhaps the most classic Ken doll costume of all is that of his beachwear! After all, apart from being Barbie's sidekick, he's famously known for his job of just "beach." Though come October 31, your job will just be "candy" or "party." No matter your plans, you'll succeed when you throw on Ken's striped matching short and shirt set. There are pieces nearly identical to Gosling's film attire. And instead of lugging around his big blue surfboard, you could grab a smaller bodyboard or make your own accessory with cardboard and paint.

Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken Costume
The only rule for this costume: You have to promise not to transform Barbie Land to Kendom. And pulling a Ryan Gosling by breaking out into song (specifically "I’m Just Ken") won't hurt either! Take on the iconic outfit by pairing an eye-catching faux fur coat with black pants and sneakers. As for the details, you'll need a black bandana, fingerless leather gloves, a pair (or two) of square sunglasses, and a big ol' horseshoe necklace. And just remember... you are Kenough!

Kenough Ken Costume
Speaking of being Kenough... while the entirety of the Barbie movie is fantastic, that moment when Ryan Gosling popped up on screen wearing a rainbow hoodie emblazoned with the words "I Am Kenough" will forever be engrained in the minds of viewers. So, you'll be glad to know you can find an almost identical version at Spirit Halloween. Not only can you copy Ken in October, but you can stay cozy while doing it! Pair the tie-dye sweatshirt with a lightning print bandana for the full effect.

Cowboy Ken Costume
Get ready to wrangle up some fun this Halloween in this cowboy getup that Barbie and Ken grab from a California convenience store near the Mattel headquarters. Though Ken later proclaims,"When I found out the patriarchy wasn't about horses, I lost interest anyway," that fringe finery is so worth copying. Luckily, there's a costume shirt that looks just like the real one—just add the pink bandana! To top it all off, you'll just need black jeans, a big western belt, a white cowboy hat, and white cowboy boots.

With this funky 'fit, Ken's motto might as well be go bold or go home! The retro look seen as he and Barbie leave Barbie Land for the real world is complete with neon colors and plenty of radical patterns. You can copy it by buying a few super similar items like a Malibu print vest and shorts paired with a matching visor, bright pink tank top, and neon skating accessories. If you don't want to skate solo, this one makes for a great couples costume!

Denim Ken Costume
If you're looking for a Ken costume that's totally a ten... look no further than his super cool head-to-toe denim ensemble. Just look at that unbuttoned denim vest paired with jeans in the same shade. Throw on some white sneakers and you're ready to party! Bonus: You probably have most of the pieces for this one in your closet already. Outside of those personalized boxers, of course. Maybe? Either way, if you want them to complete the denim suit, you can grab some fabric markers and DIY your own to peek out from the jeans.
