It’s been hard to keep up with all of the scandals, controversies and just plain WTF moments of 2018 – because, let’s face it, this year has been a lot.
There’s no better way to rehash all of drama than through a quirky-cute Halloween costume based on some of the lighter moments that we’ve already forgotten.
1. Gritty

Gritty has taken over my feeds lately and I, for one, am absolutely obsessed. Do your own rendition of the Philadelphia Flyer’s mascot with a feathered orange outfit, classic googly-eyed glasses and some team spirit. You could even recreate some of Gritty’s already infamous social media posts before you go out!
2. Cardi B Post-Fight with Nick Minaj
The paparazzi images following this NYFW after-party fight are iconic. Cardi B is essentially the red dress dancing emoji with a welt on her forehead.
To recreate this look, you’ll need to channel your inner celebrity with a big red dress and red carpet ready makeup. Draw on or use costume prosthetics to add the welt and you’re good to go.
3. Walmart Yodeling Boy
Please don’t make this one sexy. You probably already own some dark washed jeans and a white button up for the base of this look, so you just need the red bow tie, cream-colored cowboy hat, a Texas sized belt buckle and some cowboy boots to become the boy who blew up for his Walmart performance.
Just practice those yodeling skills before you head out!
4. Royal Wedding
Create your own extravagant British hat, pair it with a simple dress and some sensible shoes and you’re ready to put on your own Royal Wedding. Whether you want to emulate the bridal and groom themselves or the general atmosphere of the crowd, it’s surprisingly easy to pull off.
5. The 1980s Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again Crew
Decade costumes are overdone, but basing it on Donna and the Dynamos brings a fresh perspective to the look, Whether you go for Donna’s casual overalls look or the bell-bottoms and platform shoes they wear for performances, just be sure to include some ABBA karaoke while you’re getting ready.
6. Queer Eye’s Fab Five
They did THAT! These gold carpet lewks are snatched from head to toe! ??? #Emmys pic.twitter.com/ui6sRWKu3F

Are you more of a Karamo or a Bobby? If your group chat can decide on who best fits which member of the Fab Five, scroll through their Instagrams for inspiration on each of their styles. From there, add some accessories (a hairbrush for Jonathan, come avocados for Antoni, etc) and you’re ready to start your own makeover show.
7. The Kardashian-Jenner Babies
Let’s face it: the Kardashian-Jenner clan makes the cutest babies. Get a couple of your friends together as Chi, True and Stormi to celebrate the newest additions to the family. Base this costume off of traditional baby costumes, but add the chic luxury feel of the Kardashian-Jenners to complete the look.
And, if all else fails, you can always rely on the classic black cat or Risky Business costumes that have become staples at every Halloween party.
