Halloween Costumes for Subs
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s the perfect night to put your submissive on display as a living symbol of your power, while the rest of the world assumes it’s just dress-up fun. At FemdomU this year, we took the theme to heart and asked a few of our volunteer subs to come up with their own costumes too. The results were everything from eerie to erotic—and we’ve included a gallery of their submissions for inspiration.
When I talk about a “costume for a sub,” I don’t mean something he chooses because it makes him feel sexy. I mean something that represents you—your ownership, your taste, and the dynamic you share. A sub’s Halloween outfit is not just decoration, it’s a form of devotion. Done right, it’s a public declaration of submission disguised as a festive costume.
Defining the Femdom Costume Dynamic
In a Femdom relationship, a submissive’s costume becomes a visual expression of hierarchy. It says, She owns me, without needing to say a word. Whether you prefer something subtle and elegant or bold and explicit, the outfit should reinforce his obedience and your command.
A collar is a must for any Femdom look. Beyond that, think of your submissive’s body as a creative canvas. Body paint, leash attachments, harnesses, chokers, and servile props like trays or cleaning tools can turn even the simplest idea into a statement of ownership. Halloween gives you the freedom to be as overt or suggestive as you like.
Wicked and Playful Costume Ideas
Here are a few ideas I’ve used or assigned over the years that always make an impression:
1. The Loyal Pet
Dog ears, tail plug, and collar with your name engraved. Add a leash and make him crawl for photos. Perfect for private parties or playroom rituals before the night begins.
2. The Maid That Serves All Night
A frilly maid costume complete with stockings, apron, and duster. His job? To clean, fetch drinks, and blush every time he bends over.
3. The Sacrificial Offering
Minimal clothing, white wraps or sheer fabric, and ritualistic paint across his chest. Label him with words like Obedience or Silence. Ideal for ritual scenes or private ceremonies.
4. The Human Candle
Wax play meets performance art. A harnessed sub, wax-dripped chest, and LED candles create a haunting visual that’s both beautiful and cruel.
5. The Caged Beast
Chastity cage, metal or leather harness, and a mask. Let him wear a cloak in public and know that only you hold the key to what’s underneath.
6. The Trophy Sub
Metallic gold or silver body paint, minimal coverage, and a posture of stillness. He becomes your living award, your proudest display piece.
7. The Good Boy Ghost
White sheet, cut-out eyes, and a collar underneath. Write phrases like “Haunting My Mistress” or “Obedient Spirit.” Fun, humiliating, and surprisingly hot.
Here’s What Our Boys Came Up With
Our volunteer subs took the Halloween challenge seriously this year, and their creativity was nothing short of entertaining.
BoxingGloveLove (BGL) went with a Plague Doctor, merging the creepy and erotic with a leather beaked mask, black gloves, and a chastity cage hidden beneath those robes. It’s classic and unsettling in the best way.
mommieslittlepet (MLP) decided to tease and please as a sexy schoolgirl, complete with a tiny plaid skirt, white thigh-highs, and pigtails. Let’s just say there wasn’t much left to the imagination—and Mistress approved.
11, our wildcard, took a surprisingly wholesome route inspired by Frozen. His look started off as Elsa, but once the collar and cuffs came into play, it turned into something far more Femdom-friendly.
Maybe these boys will spark ideas for your own submissive’s costume. Whether you’re aiming for terrifying, tempting, or totally humiliating, there’s no wrong way to turn your sub into Halloween art.
Tips for Showing Him Off
- Keep him safe. Even the most daring looks should never expose him to harm or unwanted attention.
- Plan your reveal. Start discreetly if you’re venturing into public. A collar under his clothes or matching accessory between you two can hold power all night.
- Match your vibe. A regal Domme deserves a regal servant. A dark goddess deserves her sacrifice. Choose looks that align.
- Reward his bravery. If he puts on something embarrassing for your pleasure, offer sincere aftercare and appreciation. That kind of trust deserves recognition.
FAQ
What if he’s shy about wearing something revealing?
You can make it subtle. Matching accessories, coded jewelry, or light body paint can preserve the thrill while keeping privacy intact.
Can these costumes be used just for private play?
Of course. Many Dommes love doing a pre-party photo ritual or private inspection before heading out.
How do I make sure it feels submissive, not silly?
Stay intentional. Whether it’s playful or humiliating, the tone should always communicate devotion and your control.

Dressing Him Is Claiming Him
Halloween gives you a public excuse to eroticize ownership. When you dress your submissive, you’re showing that he’s yours—body, will, and image. Whether he’s gilded in gold paint, kneeling in lace, or trembling under your leash, he becomes your living, breathing work of art.
So go ahead, show him off. Every Domme deserves a trophy to display on her favorite night of the year.
Our Boys
These are great ideas. Here’s what we did this past Halloween.
This past Halloween we went out to dinner and attended a burlesque show at a private club in our city. She was a devil, wearing leather pants, red sequined top, light up horns, black ankle boots, a devil staff, and a fiery black and red wig. I was a priest, black pants, black shirt, and clergy collar. At the night went on, I was corrupted by the devil, first a big red kiss on my cheek. We took pictures at the restaurant. One of the bar tenders was dressed in an angel costume, the other a devil. He attempted to protect me from both my partner and the other female devil, but failed. We walked down the street to a store. There my partner selected a bright red collar with studs and silver chain/red leash. I was ordered to purchase them. Taking the tags off and putting them on me she led me outside. She ordered to walk behind her, leash over her shoulder. I carrying her purse and food. Immediately people on the street looked at us. But they didn’t know is this for real or is this just Halloween? At a stop light waiting to cross a woman yells out, “Yea, that’s what I’m talking about.” This only feeds the dominance of my partner. An older man smiles as we walk past him and his wife.
We arrive at the parking lot of the venue. The show started at 9:00 and it’s 9:05. I am fumbling with things, she tells me to hurry up. Once inside we secure seats. As we watch the show, one tug of the chain meant she wanted my attention. Two tugs meant I was too enthusiastic in my response to the show. She tells me she’s never seen me this happy.
After the show my partner went to the restroom. I approached the owner of the venue to express appreciation for the show. Immediately she asked, “Where’s your owner?” I was so surprised by this. I mentioned “In the restroom… and tried to play off the collar as part of my costume.” The venue owner saw right through me. “you and your owner should come to one of our play parties.” My partner returned and I introduced her. The venue owner told my partner, the devil who had corrupted me, about the play parties and how they have demonstrations etc. My partner said she wants to learn more. The owners asked if we wanted to see a room and she led us through a closed lock door to a room with BDSM equipment. We were encouraged to sign up for the newsletter and attend a party.
We sat at the bar and drank after the show. I sought out more information at the devil’s request about the play parties. The venue owner ignored me, but the woman at the merchandise booth spoke to me. I texted her. The next day she texted a link to the parties and to her own website, saying “Feel free to peruse with your Owner.” I shared with my partner.
It was the best Halloween ever for us. Together we lived out a fantasy on All Hallow’s Eve. Was it real? Was it just play? We don’t know what others thought of us, but what we know is Halloween night put me in sub space all weekend long. My owner said in reply, “who knew all that it would take was putting a collar and leash on you.” What began as a fantasy of a devil corrupting a priest, ended with me being collared and owned by my partner. When I was putting things away Friday night, I went to put the leash and collar in the closet with our other toys and my owner said to me, “Don’t put those in the closet. I hate going in there looking for things and I want to have easier access to that. Put them in a drawer under some clothes.”
