Cowgirl Barbie

There's no denying that Barbie was one of the biggest hits globally, it not only brought back cinema but painted the town pink! We personally love how over the top Cowgirl Barbie's outfit is and think it would be perfect for Halloween this year. 

Pro-tip: For all things Barbiecore, head here.

Carmy from The Bear

For the second year in a row, The Bear has crept into my list of top shows to watch this past year, and I know for a fact that I'm not alone. Carmy's energy is on another level, and I'm looking forward to seeing people who are actually able to pull his vibe. Apart from dressing up, we'd recommend getting some fake tattoos to really get into the character's look.

Wednesday Addams

Wednesday Addams, starring Jenna Ortega, is one character that will be one of the top Halloween costume ideas this year, in our opinion. You can't deny that the character, the vibe and the show are all apt for the spooky season.

Rani from Rock Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani

Some said that Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani was the comeback of Bollywood's romcom, and while we're not too sure about that, we will definitely say that Alia Bhatt slayed all the saree looks in that movie. One of the most easily recalled looks is her multicolour saree in the song What Jhumka? with the lovely embroidery blouse.

Pro-tip: To recreate more of her looks from the movie, head here.

Prison Mike from The Office

I have too many feelings about The Office. I love it to bits and quite honestly, if you have good taste, you know what I'm talking about. If I could, I would dress up my entire friend group as characters from The Office, but I can't, and if I have one recommendation then it's obviously going to be Prison Mike. But please feel free to channel Michael Scarn, Date Mike or Michael Klump, the floor is yours.

All the Shah Rukh fans, this one's for you. This look might resemble that of a Mummy, but is actually Vikram Rathore aka Azad from Jawan, a recent Bollywood movie that talks about and makes important political statements.

Oppenheimer

Channel your inner Ross and make Halloween about a historical moment, except most people will be able to recognise you in this one. You can either be the bomb (which you are already) or be the creator of destruction himself. The look is characterised by a loose-fitted brownish beige suit, a crisp white shirt, a tie, a belt, a fedora hat and high cheekbones.

Shrek

Relevant for any year is Shrek. I personally love Shrek and everything that he stands for and think that you have to be incredibly funny and confident to pull this one off. I'd suggest DIY-ing the ears and cropped jacket and pairing it with a long white t-shirt and belt to get the full look!

Taylor Swift From Anti-Hero MV

We can quite literally agree that Taylor Swift was a perpetual talking point this year, and that's why it's only relevant that we take inspiration from one of her outfits. Her Eras tour outfits are very glittery and shimmery, but we are taking inspiration from her 'Anti-Hero' video that raised a bit of a self-reflection wave globally.

Ganji Chudail

An internet meme (read: moment) that went viral and has a dedicated following now is Ganji Chudail . The Ganji Chudail universe has an origin story unlike any other, and the lovely people on the Internet have created multiple narratives around it. We've been followers and feel like it's a superhit Halloween costume idea, if nothing else. The look is worn off so I'd suggest raiding through your closet for similar items and using face paint for the detailing.

Sabrina Carpenter

For the love of Espressos and all things glitter, dressing up as Sabrina Carpenter would be a great Halloween costume for this year. The musician has had a heck of a year, with touring the world, and coming out with sensational hits one after the other. To recreate her aesthetic, think of a corset dress, overdosed with shimmer and glitter, and soft glam makeup with tons of highlighter and blush. You can complete this look with a glittery pair of heels which are comfortable also.

Priest from Fleabag

I'm obsessed with Fleabag, especially the priest. We're going for the green vestment, to make it stand out from the regular black one. This is an easy DIY with the help of your local tailor, if you don’t want to purchase an overpriced one on the internet, but here are your options.

Tom Cruise is said to have done the biggest stunt in the history of Cinema in this movie, which deserves a moment of respect. I know people who are ardent fans of the franchise since the very beginning, while the movies might have started to get repetitive, it doesn't mean the character is not iconic! Chances are your costume will be mistaken for James Bond, which isn’t wrong either, you get to be two field agents in one night.

Mabel Mora From Only Murders In The Building

When talking about detectives, Mabel Mora deserves a mention. Only Murders In The Building dropped their third season in 2023, expanding its already stellar cast of Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short to include actors like Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep.

Joel from Last of Us

Any of Pedro Pascal's looks would classify as an acceptable Halloween costume, whether it's his Met Gala 2023 look (red coat, red shirt, black shorts and a tie) or his character from Last of Us, Joel. Last of Us, based on the game, is a spectacular TV show and this is a common consensus among 459K viewers who have rated this show an average of 8.8. Joel's look is basically a denim shirt, backpack, a rifle and don't forget a torch to navigate your Halloween party safely.

Loki

Loki's first season was SO good, and we can't wait for the second season to drop this October. Since Loki is releasing so close to Halloween this year, we're assuming that he is the character to be from Marvel if you choose to go the superhero route. 

LBB tip: You can DIY the head mask with a little paper mache and gold paint, as you'll find it very overpriced online.

Bae from Call Me Bae

Pick your best tweet jacket, with a matching skirt, and go all out with your girl bows and accessories, while keeping it minimal yet glittery with jewellery.

Holt from Brooklyn 99

Is a Halloween list complete without mentioning Brooklyn 99? I think not. Captain Holt is a super fun character and to dress like him on Halloween you don’t need much too, a white shirt, few badges and stoic attitude will do the trick.

Chamkila from Amar Singh Chamkila

One of the biggest blockbusters of 2024, Dijit was absolutely stellar in and as Amar Singh Chamkila. You just need a neutral striped shirt or a short kurta, along with a dhoti to complete the rook. We also recommend completing the look with a fake moustache and a little tumbi, to really embody the aesthetic.
