Every Halloween, more and more people decide to ditch the classic costumes and choose a costume relevant to what’s going on in the world. This year is no exception, and we totally understand why. 2016 has been a roller coaster year to say the least, and it’s provided us with a lot of potential costume material (think: nasty woman, damn Daniel, and Kylie’s lip kits). 

This year, Pinterest reports that pop culture costume searches are up 75 percent. Take a look at the top six ideas that are making waves on the site this year. 

Hillary Clinton 

This pin is up a whopping 500%. It’s not hard to see why, considering she’s most likely going to be our next president. Get your pant suit on and go take on the world, #GirlBoss style. 

Donald Trump

We’re honestly not surprised that Trump is on this list, seeing as he’s simultaneously become one of the most loved and hated people in the world this year. This particular pin is up 179% from last year. This might also be due to the fact that this costume essentially only requires three elements to complete the look: an orange spray tan, a business suit, and a combover.

Snapchat Filters

There’s a 1500% rise in this pin, and we’re not even questioning it for a second. Snapchat is one of the most popular apps around the world, so there was bound to come a time when the adorable filters would be adapted into a costume. Finally, you can become a real-life rainbow-puking version of yourself.

David Bowie

This one kind of makes us sad now that this legendary performer is gone, but a Bowie Halloween costume seems like a pretty awesome way to honor his legacy. Bowie was always changing his look, so you’ll have plenty of inspiration to choose from. 

Jon Snow White

Because what’s better than combining a hot guy with a beautiful princess and a wholesome pun? Nothing. The answer is nothing. 

Luke From Gilmore Girls

This one is kind of awesome just because of the fact that you’ll not only make people nostalgic, but also excited for the upcoming Netflix reunion. The best part is that you probably already own most of the necessary items in your closet so you won’t have to break the bank putting this one together.
