It’s also a fun nostalgia hit for parents who grew up with Strawberry-everything. For some kids of the ‘80s and ‘90s, no bedroom was complete without an assortment of Strawberry Shortcake scented dolls, printed bedsheets, and coloring books. The cute character, with her gigantic strawberry-printed hat and green and white striped stockings, is as iconic as ever now. So here are the best Strawberry Shortcake Halloween costumes for babies, toddlers, tweens, and adults.

Best of all, the little details, from the strawberry and diamond designs on the top to the cute polka-dot hat, are so spot-on and special.
