Did you know that Kristen Wiig voiced Lola Bunny in a revival of The Looney Tunes Show? While we admit Kristen Wiig wasn't in the Space Jam sequel, you can wear the Lola Bunny ear headband from this costume with a purple or blue mini dress to look more like Lola in the cartoon series. All that's left to add is her signature style of humor!
2. Cinderella Costume
Shop all Disney Princess Costumes
"Here's some good advice. Never marry a guy who's really into shoes." Kristen Wiig played Cinderella in a hilarious SNL sketch, "The Real Housewives of Disney". We see a whole new side of our favorite Disney Princesses and their lives after happily ever after. Kristen Wiig's version of Cinderella is constantly drunk and slurring, glass in hand, while roasting her fellow princesses. While you could dress as Cinderella herself with a glass in hand, this is an excellent group costume for you and your girlfriends!
3. Cheetah Costume
| Leopard Catsuit | Blond Buffy Wig |
Shop all Wonder Woman Costumes
While we may know and love Kristen Wiig for breaking her fellow cast members on SNL, she has played other roles that are remarkably different. While Wonder Woman 1984 underperformed at the box office, Kristen Wiig played Cheetah, one of Wonder Woman's iconic adversaries. An easy way to replicate her costume is to take a cheetah or leopard-print catsuit, discard the ears and tail, and get a blond wig. (If you're not naturally blond!) Slick the hair back with gel and setting spray, and you're ready to take on Wonder Woman!
4. Lucy Wilde Costume
Shop all Despicable Me Costumes
Kristen Wiig returns to her comedic roots as the loveable Agent Lucy Wilde from the Despicable Me franchise. As an agent of the Anti-Villain League, she reaches out to former villain Gru for his help. They later fall in love, and she becomes an adoptive mother to Gru's adopted daughters. Lucy Wilde stands out from the crowd in her turquoise dress and overcoat, with a brilliant shock of red hair. Don't forget to bring along your lipstick taser!
5. Dooneese Costume
| Sandy Costume | 50s Blond Wig | Adult Bald Cap |
Kristen Wiig has several iconic SNL characters, including the chaotic Dooneese. In a parody of the Lawrence Welk Show, Dooneese is one of four sisters with three that are conventionally attractive while she's the odd one out. To create her unique hairline, we suggest trimming the bangs from a vintage-style blond wig and attaching it to a bald cap. Then, wear a vintage dress with long sleeves to help hide your baby hands! While this costume is already amazing solo, grab three friends to be the other sisters for a unique costume for a group of 4.
6. 2016 Ghostbusters Costume
Shop all Ghostbusters Costumes
The original Ghostbusters movie starred prominent comedians as it was a supernatural comedy film. Naturally, directors knew who to call when it came time for the 2016 Ghostbusters all-women reboot. Kristen Wiig played physicist Dr. Erin Gilbert, who teams up with three other women to start a ghost-catching business in New York City. Kristen Wiig starred alongside fellow comedians Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon. All you need is a women's Ghostbusters costume and your gal pals for the ultimate group costume idea!
