So Spooky
Top pop culture Halloween costumes sure to spook up some fun this season
In girl world—and any world, really—Halloween is the one day a year when you can dress up how you want and nobody can say anything about it. … So says Cady Heron of the holiday a la Mean Girls. And if you’re still sleuthing around for some fab Halloween ’fit inspo, we have the trending haunts to flaunt. Here, a lineup of currently relevant costumes you might find out and about on the Raleigh streets this season. Say boo!
Talk to the hand. If you want to be the “Thing” everyone’s talking about, don your darkest black apparel, elect for a pigtail braid updo and wear a dreary expression all evening (easy!). Woe what a night…
Barbie and Ken
Hi, Barbie! Pink is the perf pick for this ensemble—whether you choose to be cowgirl Barbie, skater Barbie or stereotypical Barbie (you can be anything!). And if you must match with a Ken (*sigh*), the same outfit rules apply. Good Ken-ergy? Obviously.
Oppenheimer
For a costume that is simply, er, the bomb, go classy and old-fashioned with a suit, pipe, a vintage black hat—and the essence of a very, very complex individual.
The Bear
Yes, chef! Cook up the aura of this beloved Chicago chef via a simple white tee and a blue apron—potty mouth and stressful kitchen environments sold separately.
Taylor Swift Eras Tour
Are you ready for it? … Because the outfit ideas are as endless as Taylor Swift’s eras. From Reputation and Speak Now to Evermore, Folklore or Midnights—dress as the queen of the music industry for a major Halloween slay. Oh, how we love(r) it!
Rihanna From the Super Bowl
We’re seein’ red… and red is all you need to channel Queen Ri Ri’s iconic Super Bowl look—sneakers, turtleneck, jumpsuit—and add a pair of latex arm length gloves if you’re feelin’ frisky. Note: Pregnancy not required.
Ted Lasso
Whether you’re attempting to emulate the iconic American coach himself or someone from this show’s beloved cast of characters—a plethora of ideas lay at your disposal. Stick on a fake ’stache (or grow your own!) to achieve the Lasso look or throw on a soccer jersey and add an exaggerated British accent for Jamie Tartt or Roy Kent costume core. Football is life!
Indiana Jones
Face your fears and don the apparel of this famed fearless adventurer with a brown leather jacket, explorer-esque fedora, khaki pants and boots. Just steer clear of snakes!
