2013 is coming to close and what better what to sum up to a year of crazy pop culture highs and lows than by dressing like them? Here are some of this year’s best pop culture costumes. Walk into your Halloween celebration in one of these get-ups, and your outfit will need no explanation.
Minions from Despicable Me 2
This is an adorable 2013 group costume idea. Make sure you and your friends stay in character and speak gibberish the whole night as an added, comical bonus.
Lady Gaga
Mother Monster has been a pop culture icon for years now, but if you go all out and rock any of her epic VMA performance looks, your friends will undoubtedly be showering you with ‘Applause’.
Whether you make it at home with stuffed animals or buy the whole getup online, the Syfy’s cinematic practical joke from this past summer can be your ticket to winning “most creative” at any costume party.
Olivia Pope from Scandal
Scandal is one of the biggest shows of the year and Ms. Pope is an incredibly easy costume to put together. Just throw on a perfectly tailored pantsuit, do your hair with a signature Olivia side swoop and keep your cellphone to your ear at all times to stay in touch with your gladiators and President Fitz.
This game was one of the most downloaded apps of the year. (You know you’ve wasted countless hours stuck on Level 53). Pay homage to your mini-gaming addiction by dressing up like the sweet pieces.
Walter White from Breaking Bad
The series finale was in September but die-hard BB fans are still going strong. Borrow Walter White’s gas mask, glasses and apron for the night —and don’t forget his menacing grimace.
Kimye (with or without Baby North)
For a very relevant couples costume, grab an optional baby doll to hold and a pillow to stuff your butt for the Kim K effect. Grab your guy a huge gold chain and tell him not to smile for those nosy paparazzi. Make sure you two only dress in black white or nude and that your hair and makeup are on point! American royalty always look fabulous so you gotta ‘keep up’ the appearence.
Miley Cyrus
Teddy bear onesie + foam finger + platform sneakers + tongue out of your mouth = maniac Miley in a nutshell. The ex-Disney star had everyone talking after her VMA performance in August and if you bear it all without giving a f*** like she did, you’ll definitely get the same reaction!
