Hi, Insiders! This spooky season, Microsoft Copilot can help you and your family find or create the perfect costume, whether you’re attending a party, trick-or-treating, or hoping to win your town’s or workplace’s costume contest.

Brainstorm ideas for kids

Help your child shine at their school’s Halloween parade! Plug their interests, clothing preferences, and other key factors into Copilot, and it will spit out tons of ideas to get you started – without breaking the bank.

Sample prompt

My daughter loves Star Wars, but doesn’t like to wear a lot of layers or masks. Suggest 2-4 costume ideas for her that I can either buy online or make for under $60.

Copilot’s response

Put together a group costume

Traveling in pairs or in a group? Copilot can suggest ways to dress up as a “unit” and provide recommendations for finding those costumes fast, on a budget, and in your area.

Sample prompt

My friends and I need last-minute Halloween costume recommendations. There’s 6 of us and we want to do a group costume, but don’t want to spend more than $20 each. List the best stores to find these costumes or supplies in the DC metro area.

Shop for yourself

There are so many directions your Halloween costume could go in – let Copilot narrow it down based on your personality, price range, and how much time you have to gather supplies (even day-of costumes can be achieved!).

Sample prompt

I need Halloween costume suggestions for myself. I’m a tall, blonde man who loves soccer, art, and Marvel movies. I don’t want to spend more than $50 or more than 2 hours creating the costume, but would prefer to DIY it if I can.

Copilot’s response

 

We hope these prompts and ideas provide you with the inspiration you need for a great and spooky Halloween!
