The Dutton dynasty from the Paramount+ series Yellowstone has rightfully taken its place alongside other wealthy, powerful clans from nighttime TV dramas like the Ewings from Dallas, the Carringtons from Dynasty, and the Roys from Succession. Viewers loved to watch them warring, winning, and whining.

This delectable saga has all the frontier ruggedness you could ever want, as well as a tinge of ominous might and muscle, as the Duttons fight to safeguard their land - and their legacy. Cross (or double-cross) them at your own considerable peril. Think of them this way - if the Corleone family from The Godfather was transplanted to Montana, they would get along famously with the Duttons.
So if you would prefer to go trick or treating as, say, Beth Dutton instead of Glinda from Wicked, have we got some costume ideas for you! Just think Western garb with an evilly-stylish twist and you will get the hang of dressing like a Dutton on October 31.
You will be the envy of every goblin, ghost, and wanna-be Dracula in town!
The Best Dutton Family Halloween Costumes
John Dutton III (Kevin Costner)
Kevin Costner seems to have an affinity for the American West in his blood. He has starred in many Western-themed films such as Wyatt Earp, Silverado, Dances With Wolves which landed Best Picture and Best Director (for Costner) Academy Awards, and his recent passion project, Horizon: An American Saga.
Costner knows his way around a horse and a homestead. When he is in character as patriarch John Dutton, Costner looks like the quintessential dapper cowboy emeritus - tough, debonair, well-put-together, and master of all he oversees at the sprawling Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
To get the right John Dutton look for Halloween, Men's Health suggests you opt for "traditional rancher attire." That means a "cowboy hat and boots, two essential elements of any John Dutton costume." Throw on a pair of dungarees (not ripped or ragged ones, please!) and if you can find something like this, a belt with a big shiny buckle that says "Protect This Family." Add a thick vest or jacket, plus heavy utility gloves, and you will be clad like Daddy Dutton.

Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly)
Beth is John Dutton's powerhouse daughter. She's as tough as the grizzled hide of a buffalo as she dominates the courtroom and the business world, taking down giant companies and cutthroat business people," according to Comic Book Resources.
What is Beth's preferred sartorial style? Hello Magazine notes her signature go-to's that include flowered dresses, gold hoop earrings, leather jackets, boots, a tote bag, a shimmering mesh mini dress, and a cowboy hat. Now you can go get 'em just like Beth Dutton does. (By the way, Beth's slinky faux leopard coat is to die for. If you can come up with one of those for Halloween, you will be golden.)
Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser)
Rip is Beth Dutton's husband and the ranch hand you want on your side. He seems to like black apparel a lot. It makes him look somewhat menacing, which may be the whole idea. Per Cowboys & Indians, Rip has his favorites duds like the "jacket, cowboy hat, and sunglasses." Wear a Western-type shirt - black, of course. Pick out a pair of classy sunglasses. Just think monochromatic black and you'll be Rip roarin.'

Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes)
In case you haven't heard, Luke Grimes has two sizzling careers right now - playing Kayce Dutton and being a sought-after, highly successful singer and musician. Kayce is John Dutton's third son. Their relationship can best be described as "contentious." To be authentically Kayce for Halloween, you need to get his cowboy hat correct. He wears it pushed down low on his head. And the hair has to be right, too. Shaggy but stylish.
Monica Long Dutton (Kelsey Asbille)
Monica is married to Kayce Dutton. She is a star-crossed character who has been described as usually "traumatized, threatened .and injured." Her style of dress is Western casual and relaxed, but always stylish, youthful, and nicely put-together. She might don garments like a pink-trimmed plaid shirt, a suede skirt with fringe paired with an embroidered denim jacket, or a red floral dress. Monica's definitely got her own unique sense of chic.
Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley)
Jamie Dutton is John's adopted son. He is very clean-cut and handsome in a chiseled, matinee-idol way. Jamie seems to favor all kinds of casual jackets, some of them in luxe materials like suede and leather. Go for the sharp, understated look. He always looks like he could switch from a corral to a corporate boardroom in an instant.
Lloyd Pierce (Forrie J. Smith)
Pierce is a senior ranch hand on the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. He has the look of a genuine cowboy who has seen everything imaginable while living that hardscrabble yet rewarding life. Smith actually lived on a real Montana cattle ranch and competed in rodeos, so his air of authenticity is the real deal.
Dress in the manner of Lloyd Pierce, per Men's Health, by affixing a prominent gray moustache to your upper lip, looping a patterned cotton bandana around your neck, and putting a great big cowboy hat on your noggin. A plaid flannel shirt and loose-fitting blue jeans finish the outfit.
So there you have it. Make these classic Dutton looks your own by personalizing them on the big, scary night of Halloween. We promise that John Dutton and his family won't mind a bit!
