Here are some ideas for Halloween costumes this year. Some are relevant to pop culture, others are classics, and others are duo costumes. Take a look if you’re having trouble deciding what to be this year.
- Barbie
-
Of course, I had to mention Barbie with the summer blockbuster movie having just come out. This is an option that has lots of alternatives. You could go for one of the Barbies from the movie or you could just be any Barbie variety that you can come up with. You can use full creativity for this one or buy a premade costume from places like Spirit Halloween or Party City.

- Jobu Tupaki from “Everything Everywhere ALl At once”
-
If you’re into going all out on Halloween, consider dressing as Jobu Tupaki from Everything Everywhere All At Once. There are lots of fun looks to choose from: the bagel cult leader, tennis attire, Elvis, and more.
- Ellie or A clicker from “The Last Of Us”
-
A great show that came out earlier this year was The Last of Us. If you love the apocalyptic vibe, then dressing as Ellie would be perfect! All you need for Ellie is an old flannel, some old jeans, and a little bit of fake blood. If you are more into spooky special effects make up, you could dress up as a clicker or other infected creature from the franchise.
- Witch
-
One of the most classic costumes is a witch! You can stick to the tradition by dressing in black with a witch’s hat or freshen up the look by dressing as The Love Witch or a member of The Craft coven.
- Vampire
-
Vampires are another classic Halloween costume. A classic black cape and fangs is fun to dress up in, but dressing up as a famous character would be fun too! If you’re in your Twilight era like I am, you could dress up as Bella or Alice in early 2000s attire. All you would need are some bootcut jeans and a tight-fitting long sleeve shirt.
- PJ and Josie from “Bottoms”
-
A recent favorite movie of mine was Bottoms that was released a few months ago. Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri play the iconic queer best friends PJ and Josie. You can find some shirts very similar to theirs at Target. You would also need a band-aid for PJ and an arm sling for Josie.

- Dionne and Cher from “Clueless”
-
A classic duo, Dionne and Cher, would be super fun to dress up as! All of Dionne and Cher’s outfits are fire but going for the classic plaid matching outfits would be adorable! Find a friend to dress up with and make the best of your night out.
