14 Pop Culture Inpired Halloween Costume Ideas Everyone's Going To Want This Year
Be the Zeitgeist this October. From Beyoncé's birth announcement to Michelle Obama's 'What do I do with the Tiffany box'? moment.
From Beyoncé's birth announcement to Michelle Obama's 'What do I do with the Tiffany box'? moment, we run down the Halloween costumes everyone's going to want to rock this year
The Birth Of Beyoncé's Twins
If your stomach is as flat as a pancake, then go for 'Birth Announcement Beyoncé'. You will need one purple coat, a veil, a bouquet of flowers and two babies.
Depending on your venue we would suggest using dolls, but feel free to use real life babies if the venue is safe.
Melania Trump
Melania Trump was under near-universal criticism for her choice of footwear when visiting those affected by Tropical Storm Harvey in Houston. Some said the vertiginous shoes were somewhat inappropriate for the visit to the flood-striken city.
If you think that being married to Donald Trump might just be the most terrifying thing that could happen to a gal, then pop on a pair of stilettos, grab yourself some aviators and get the hairspray out.
Versace Supermodels
If you didn't see the supermodels of the 90s reunited for Versace's Spring/Summer 2018 show then you must live under a rock.
Thankfully, if you believes that, like Linda Evangelista, you should not get out of bed for less than £10,000 then now is your chance.
Grab your gal pals and a chainmail dress, and remember, you're an original supermodel, act like it.
The Old Taylor/ The New Taylor
Taylor Swift's latest musical and visual offering Look What You Made Me Do, supplies us with a plethora of Halloween ideas.
Do you want to be the New Taylor? Complete with leotard and fishnets? Or, one of the Old Taylors: stuttering at Kanye West's interruption or in a t-shirt and glasses?
Even better, why not be Dead Taylor? Freshly exhumed from her resting place. It's up to you.
Miranda
No, Sex And The City doesn't scream 2017, but bear with. Thanks to the rise of the Instagram account 'Every Outfit On SATC' and Cynthia Nixon's rumoured run for office, 2k17 is the year we have realised that if SATC was remade for today, Miranda would be our protagonist and not Carrie.
Show your solidarity with Miranda's unflinching feminism and loyalty to headwear by dressing as her this Halloween.
There are a plethora of 'looks' to choose from, either going for the puffer/dungaree/cap ensemble, the neck brace look or try wearing a hoody with a bucket hat.
Don't forget to tell women, 'he's just not into you', and always have some snacks at the ready.
Wonder Woman
Yeah the party will be 50 percent Handmaid's and 50 percent Wonder Women, but you know what? We're an army now.
Channel Princess Diana of Themyscira with strong accessories. Your rope of truth will become very useful when you need to find out where the last bottle of booze is to be found at the house party.
Mother!
Pack a punch with an eerie depiction of the Mother! poster. Jennifer Lawrence's artistic rendering is as beautiful as it is c-r-e-e-p-y.
Wear your hair in a side-parting, with a simple dress. Then go to town on the face paint and fake glue. For a fake heart, we recommend cutting a sponge into a heart shape and paint away, using cut-up straws as arteries.
Dua Lipa's 'New Rules'
For the cosy-sexy look of the summer, grab your girlfriends and some pastel-hued bathrobes.
Dua Lipa's music video for her banger New Rules is in no way scary. At all. But we hear plenty of men find women standing up for each other and being independent pretty terrifying, and that's what this song is all about.
Nicole Kidman's LOVE cover
If you're a body-positive hero then this is the look for you. A red swimsuit and a slight chill in the air is all you need, though you may need a cowboy hat to avoid Baywatch mix-ups.
We think there might be a denim jacket behind there somewhere, but who needs it?
Moschino S/S18
If you really love just looking glam, but want that phantasmagorical edge, then this is the costume for you.
A sleek up-do with Audrey Hepburn eyeliner will look surreal surrounded by a huge bouquet of flowers. Wear a small playsuit or slip to protect your modesty then wrap some paper around you with a ribbon to pull it all together.
We recommend using fake flowers, because no-one likes a wilter.
Michelle Obama
Remember when the Trump's gave the Obama's a massive Tiffany's box on the steps of the Whitehouse and Michelle had no idea what to do with it?
An iconic moment if we ever did see one, and very easy to imitate.
A tight bun, skater dress, mint box and bemused face are really all you need to imitate this glorious moment.
