There’s exactly 3 weeks until spooky season is over, and the race to find the perfect Halloween costume has officially begun. If you’re out of ideas – don’t fret, here’s 8 costumes (that aren’t really scary) but oh so easy, cool, and on-brand with this year’s events.
‘Short n’ Sweet’
You don’t have to be short for this one, maybe just sweet – recreate Carpenter’s album cover look with a simple denim two-piece set and a kiss mark on your shoulder. The Disney Channel icon has been the star of the charts recently, with Short n’ Sweet pulling a record number of weeks at the top. Get a “Taste” of being a star yourself this Halloween by dressing up as everyone’s sweetheart.

Bratz (Charli’s Version)
What better way to celebrate the change of Brat seasons than by dressing up as your favourite Bratz doll for halloween? Or, for something even brattier, try Charli XCXs version – you could embrace your own style while still serving doll. With the legendary neon green theme, you’ll be sure to stand out wherever you are. All that’s missing is your brattiest attitude, and you’re all set.

We Trust You to Choose the Best Costume
Future and Metro Boomin dropped their album, We Don’t Trust You, in late March. Whoever they have trust issues with, it’s not you. We do trust you to win best costume on Halloween, and dressing up as the duo is the best way to do it. Like true business people, all you need is some sort of suit, a briefcase, suspenders, and a pair of glasses (bonus points if you find a third person to dress up as Drake).

CowBey
A few years ago, all the it girls were dressing up on theme with Beyoncé’s Renaissance, and this year they’re doing it again with Cowboy Carter. This costume is easy to put together and customizable to your liking, just start with a horse, some basic denim bottoms and a white shirt. If you’re feeling extra cowboy, complete Bey’s look by adding a white cowboy hat and some cowboy boots. Now you’re ready to hit the rodeo!

Lana Del Rey and Her “One”
Arguably the most surprising news of the past few months, Lana Del Rey is now married to a Louisiana alligator tour guide, who she says is “the one”. The singer’s super private ceremony left us with little picture proof, but we’ll do our best to improvise the couple’s outfits. Grab a friend or a partner and complete the extra easy look with a simple white flowy dress, and whatever alligator tour guides wear – probably a bunch of camo print. Add a final touch with a baby blue satin bow tied around your ponytail, like Del Rey on her wedding day.

Joker & Quinn
With Joker: Folie À Deux just recently being released, it’s almost customary to dress up as the peculiar couple this halloween. There’s tons of options to choose from, but the red blazer look is OG – channel your inner Joker and Harley Quinn with a pop of red, a fun makeup look, and some hair dye.

Just Be Ken
Hello Barbies, let’s go party – with the pinkest costume out there. Ryan Reynolds might’ve been forced into the spotlight at the 2024 Oscars, but you’ll be stealing it at the end of the month once you hit the road in a full hot-pink suit. If you’re dedicated to the role, show up in a bedazzled suit with a pair of pink gloves and a platinum blond wig ready to perform a rendition of Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken”. But, if you’re just looking for a last minute costume, find anything that’s pink in your closet, set with a microphone and black glasses, and you’re good to go.

Inside Out 2
A whole new cast of emotions dropped this past summer with the release of Inside Out 2, which means more dressing up for us! Whichever new emotion you identify with the most, Embarrassment, Envy, Anxiety and Ennui (Boredom), these effortless costumes are perfect to put together last-minute. If you’re feeling embarrassed for not having a costume ready yet, all you need is an oversized grey hoodie to hide in and some purple pants to recreate the look.
