Trends are constantly changing on Halloween, and I still can’t get over all of the new and exciting costumes we saw this Halloweekend. For many people, it’s difficult to find the perfect unique costume that fits their style year after year.
Whether you’re going in a large group, or creating a costume just for yourself, you always want to try and impress those around you with your fantastic ideas. However, it’s always fun to reference some of pop culture’s most recent trends. Let’s investigate some of the costumes you probably saw this spooky season.
- Barbie
Some of the most popular Halloween costumes are inspired by media that is resurfacing from the past. One of the costumes you definitely encountered the most was Barbie. And no, I’m not just talking about Stereotypical Barbie. Everyone dressed up as all different types of Barbies including Weird Barbie, Nurse Barbie, and even Alan in reference to Greta Gerwig’s 2023 Barbie movie. The Barbie movie has redefined how people see the doll and all different types of people own their inner Barbie.
