Are you struggling to create an amazing Halloween costume this year? And are you a serious fashion lover too? If so, good news: we have the perfect combination for you! Why not look to this year’s most viral fashion moments for a more unexpected (and totally clever) outfit concept. We’re talking about costume ideas pulled straight from fashion headlines.
In March, for example, Kim Kardashian attended Balenciaga’s fall 2022 show in a super wild look: she covered herself in Balenciaga-branded caution tape. His outfit squeaked with every measured step he took. You could channel her and buy some warning tape for a DIY costume, or Yandy is selling a $63 version of the same outfit as a jumpsuit (her costume is called the “Work Harder” costume, an homage to the now-infamous snippet from Kardashian sound, “No one wants to work these days”).
Last month, model Bella Hadid went viral when she walked in Coperni’s spring 2023 show. Two technicians stood next to her and sprayed a dress with knit fabric. For a Halloween version, you could buy a white off-the-shoulder dress and carry a can of silly string with it. When Anne Hathaway attended the Michael Kors show in a brown leather trench coat and turtleneck, many noted that she resembled her Andy Sachs character in The Devil Wears Prada. Use the same pieces and you’ll instantly be manning the Halloween camp.
Of course, no roundup of trendy Halloween costumes would be complete without a few references to the Met Gala. Kylie Jenner’s off-white look at this year’s Met, complete with a giant wedding skirt and reverse-cut veil, had the internet talking, as did Ella Kim’s nude dress borrowed from Marilyn Monroe. Or, for a couples wardrobe idea, you could go as Jared Leto and Alessandro Michele, who twinned at Gucci. Because the only thing better than a good Halloween costume is two Halloween costumes.
Here are 13 more Halloween costume ideas inspired by the viral fashion moments of 2022.
