Last-minute Halloween costume ideas inspired by news and pop culture that almost anyone can make
"Every single day, the average working person plays many roles: sassy coworker, office comedian, and deadline stickler, to name a few. The labor doesn't stop when one gets home-with new job titles coming into play, such as mom, brother, pet parent, and more. On Halloween, you get to choose which character you want to inhabit instead of having society dictate your role."
"This one is perfect for last-minute Halloween planners, as the true-life events surrounding the costume happened a little over a week ago. On Sunday, October 19, four robbers dressed up as maintenance workers and stole the French crown jewels from the Apollo Gallery at the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris. The internet had a field day with this."
"These furry collectible toys really took off in 2024 despite being around for almost a decade. Artist Kasing Lung created the creepy yet cute characters in 2015 and introduced them in the book series The Monsters. Celebrity endorsements helped move the creatures into the cultural zeitgeist, with K-pop star Lisa from Blackpink leading the way. The easiest way to dress up as this popular plush toy and/or mini key chain accessory is to start with a onesie base."
People perform many roles daily at work and at home, and Halloween offers an opportunity to choose a character freely. Costume planning can be simplified by leaning on popular culture and a few easy-to-obtain items. The list of eight costume ideas ranges from classic to timely, including a current-events Louvre museum robber look that requires a reflective vest, fake jewelry, and a tiara on an all-black base. Another idea uses the Labubu collectible as inspiration, suggesting a onesie base with bunny ears and makeup, with supplies available at Spirit Halloween or Amazon.
