Halloween is coming soon and if you want to stand out this year, there is plenty of inspiration going around for your next Halloween costume–from movies and TV shows to music icons and quirky pop culture moments. Here are some of the best ideas that we predict we will be seeing a lot on Halloween this year:

Beetlejuice

The classic ghost movie, Beetlejuice, remains a Halloween favorite. With the enthusiastic reception for the Tim Burton remake this year, expect to see a rise in popularity of Halloween looks inspired by the movie. Beetlejuice offers endless creative possibilities–just pick a character and jump in on the trend!

Bridgerton

Step into the world of Regency-era opulence with a Bridgerton costume, inspired by Netflix’s hit period drama. Elegant, lavish, and romantic, a Bridgerton-inspired theme allows you to don corseted gowns, lace gloves, and pearls. If you want to channel a more mysterious vibe, dress as Lady Whistledown—think darker tones, a concealed identity with a veil, and an air of intrigue.

Inside Out

Perfect for group costumes, Inside Out lets you embody your favorite emotions from the beloved Pixar film. Whether you’re bringing Joy (yellow), Sadness (blue), Anger (red), or Disgust (green) to life, these costumes are easy to create with colorful clothing and expressive makeup. For an extra touch, use face paint to exaggerate the emotions, making it clear who’s who at any party.

Deadpool & Wolverine

Superhero fans will love dressing up as the iconic Deadpool and Wolverine duo from one of the most successful movie releases this year. These two together make for an action-packed costume pairing. You even have the option to dress up as Mrs. Deadpool, Headpool, Kidpool, or any variant you choose from the multiverse!
