From iconic pop culture moments to cinematic deep cuts and viral references, Euronews Culture’s 2024 Halloween costume picks are here. 2024 cinema has provided us with many memorable elements: Glen Powell, sexy churros, inappropriate popcorn buckets, Adam Driver in Megalopolis, fake pop stars, and more. But most importantly, it’s given us some fantastic Halloween costume ideas.
From the new emotions in Pixar’s Inside Out 2 to Zendaya’s ‘I TOLD YA’ t-shirt in Challengers, and even Josh Hartnett’s serial killer look in Trap, there’s plenty to choose from. Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice offers iconic options, whether it’s the titular character’s suit or a shrunken head mask. The sandworms from Dune: Part Two could also be a hit, though Heidi Klum’s worm costume set a high bar.
For a standout costume, consider Demi Moore’s yellow coat in The Substance. It’s warm, comfortable, and a wardrobe staple. Plus, it’s subtle, allowing you to subtly reference Coralie Fargeat’s film while looking stylish. And don’t forget the big sunglasses for that inevitable hangover.
Music fans have plenty of options too. 2024 has been the year of pop stars like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli XCX. Each offers a unique challenge, from Roan’s high glam makeup to Carpenter’s sparkly corset and XCX’s ‘Brat’ look. Alternatively, you could go timeless with a child choir Serge Gainsbourg costume.
The Summer Olympics in Paris also provided viral moments perfect for Halloween. Channel the beheaded Marie Antoinette from the opening ceremony or Australian breakdancer Raygun. For a more mysterious vibe, South Korea’s pistol shooter Kim Yeji offers an effortlessly cool look.
Finally, this year’s memes and viral sensations provide easy costume ideas. The demented carousel horse from We Live In Time or Thailand’s baby pygmy hippo Moo Deng are both great options. Or, channel the Sad Oompa Loompa from the Willy Wonka experience for a more method-acting challenge.
For a timely political statement, consider the childless cat lady. It’s easy to assemble and sends a message. All you need is a cosy robe, a Swiftie-themed tee, Converse, and a stuffed cat. Plus, it’s a subtle way to comment on current events.
