Matilda Hansson

Halloween is just around the corner and with the spirit of the season setting in, it's time to start planning what your costume will be on the big day. If you're planning to make this Halloween on to remember then make sure you're dressed up in one of the hottest Halloween costumes of the year.

Spooky Season is here

Halloween costumes can be a tricky thing to get right, so if you're bored of your run of the mill vampire, princess, pirate costumes then here are some Halloween costume ideas that are not only trendy but also sure to make you the best dressed wherever you go!

1. The Sandersson Sisters

After 29 years the Halloween cult classic: Hocus Pocus, has finally made its return! And it's only appropriate that this year we dedicate the number one best Halloween costume to the Sandersson sister, as a plus you won't only have your own costume figured out but you can also recruit two more people to join you so you become the iconic trio.

2. Elvis or Marilyn

The new Elvis biopic left many dancing around their living rooms, so we would be unsurprised if we didn't see a surge of people in Elvis halloween costumes (more than usual that is). Marilyn Monroe is a classic go to Halloween costume, but with the controversial release of Blonde many are re-discovering their love for Marilyn, we're sure we'll see many takes on her iconic looks this year.

3. Euphoria

The popular youth show Euphoria has taken the world by storm and with so many iconic looks it makes it the perfect Halloween inspo. Pair up as Maddy and Cassie or why not go solo as Rue, Kat or Jules? Of course the look won't be complete without the iconic makeup Euphoria has become known for. Need some help with fixing the makeup look? Take a look at the makeup tips for each character from the makeup artist from Euphoria herself.

4. House of Dragons and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Was there ever a more busy year for iconic fantasy spin offs? With both House of Dragons and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiering this year, it has not only meant new shows for us to binge watch and obsess over but also a great line up for Halloween dress up inspo. Our bets are the we'll see plenty of Daemons and Rhaenyras, but probably some Galadriels and Elronds. If you have a baby or a pet you have the perfect chance to dress them up as your very own little dragon.

5. Bridgerton Fancy

The Bridgerton fashion is iconic, so why not take inspiration from Daphne, the Duke or Kate Sharma and live your best Bridgerton life! We will also never be ones to pass up on a chance to be the first Diamond of the season and get to dress up in period fashion.

6. MCU

You can't go wrong with a super hero and with so many MCU releases and spin offs, there is no lack of inspiration here. Everything from The Scarlet Witch and Thor to Black Panther and Iron Man you really can't go wrong with anyone from the MCU universe, bouns points if you manage to get enough people to become the avengers.

7. 90's retro cartoons

The 90's revival has been real and is not leaving any time soon, so why not go full retro and dress up as one of your favourite 90's cartoons! As an added bonus they are great for group costumes, some of our favourites are: The Powerpuff girls, Recess (either as the Ashley's or the main gang), The wild Thornberry's and Scooby Doo.

8. Puns Galore

Fright and gore in all its glory but can anything really compete with a really witty costume that takes a second to figure. Not only is it fun and clever it's also a great conversation starter! Try going as a party animal; just wear an animal mask and some fancy outfit or while you're at it, perhaps a pig in a blanket. Or if you're going with your friends why not each pick a spice and dress up as it and voila, together you are the Spice Girls. And our personal favourite get a name-tag that says "Life" then bring a basket of lemons, which you of course hand out at the party, you'll have the entire party talking about "when life gives you lemons..."

9. Y2K icons

The 2000's are making a comeback so why not embrace it on Halloween and go dressed as one of the many early 2000's icons. What about Britney and Justin's matching denim outfits, Paris party outfits or essentially anything worn by Christina Aguilera. Don't forget to lines to lips, clips your hair with butterfly clips and put on the flat-forms and you're ready to go!

10. The Addams Family

There is no other family more synonymous with Halloween than the Addams family. With the release of the TV show Wednesday we get a new take on the family and the costumes, bringing the Addams family into 2022. Go as Wednesday, Morticia, Gomez, Lurch or why not just the entire family, get everyone involved!
