10 Halloween Costumes Inspired by 2018’s Biggest Pop Culture Moments
2018 was-OK, is-a weird year with lots of crazy moments-many of which some of us would like to forget. But for those quirky, viral instances we actually loved, why not make the memories last a little longer by turning them into epic Halloween costumes? Scroll on to find 10 not-so-terrible pop culture items from 2018 that are perfect for October 31.
Ariana Grande in her music video for "God Is a Woman."
The visuals for this song were literally out of this world. Channel them in a galaxy-themed skirt with a sparkly tutu underneath, a pink leotard, and a brown, curly wig worn in a low ponytail.
Justin Bieber wearing hotel slippers out in the real world like it's NBD.
Still not over this, TBH. And he's actually done it a lot. Why????
Anyway, if you want to be just like him, all it takes is gym shorts, some tube socks, a short, ombré-blond wig, a baseball cap, and, yes, those famed slides.
That skyscraper-scaling raccoon who captured everyone's hearts.
This little guy beat the odds and defied gravity climbing up a tall building in St. Paul, Minnesota. He's a hero, and he could also be your next Halloween costume if you just wear a raccoon onesie and hold a picture of a building in your hand all night. Comfy and amazing.
Kim Kardashian in all those Yeezy paparazzi campaigns.
It felt like every day of 2018 was marked by a new pap photo of Kim K. wearing some kind of blue monochrome Yeezy outfit (or celebs like Diplo spoofing them). Channel her vibe in your own pale-blue sweatpants and matching sports bra. Complete the look with a long, silver-blonde wig and neutral booties.
One of those huge-ass bird- and unicorn-themed pool floats that were everything this summer.
People collectively freaked out when they realized that the trendy one-person unicorn, flamingo, and peacock floats were now sold as group inflatables that could fit a whole party of six. Now you can BE one of them for halloween by buying a cheap innertube version of the one you like best on Amazon, and then wearing your favorite one-piece suit with it.
Bey and Jay in those pastel suits from the "Apes**t" video.
SIMPLY ICONIC. Pay tribute to Beyonce and Jay-Z's phenomenal power suits by buying them for a lot cheaper online. Accessorize with crystal chokers, dangling earrings, and a gold chain, using the above photo as a reference.
Royal wedding mania.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that people in America freaking love royals and, in particular, the royal wedding. Become the princess you were meant to be by wearing a copycat version of Meghan Markle's ceremony look. If you want to really get into it, have bae dress in a military uniform like Harry's.
Black Panther.
Fans still aren't over the amazingness that is Wakanda in the marvel movie Black Panther. I could tell you how to DIY this costume (I'm sure there's a way), but, honestly this adult-sized Black Panther costume already exists and makes it a lot easier for everyone.

This is a long sentence, so bear with me: You know those videos that were all over Instagram a little bit ago that feature a person holding up a blanket, peeking from it a few times to show their pet they are there, and then abruptly disappearing and leaving their pet confused AF? You can be that for Halloween and it is actually so simple to achieve. All you have to do is bring a blanket with you wherever you are and then have a friend dress up in an animal onesie to be your bamboozled dog or cat.

The guy loves avocados. And if you love him, be him. All you have to do is wear a white T-shirt, smudge on a little bit of eye-defining liner, and hold an avocado in your hand. Best part? You can eat it at the end of the night.
