Experts Predict The Most Popular Halloween Costumes Of 2024
Here we go. It’s almost Halloween time. And even though the spooky holiday is more than a month away, internet searches for Halloween costumes have gone up 85% since early last month. Everyone wants to get a jump start on that perfect costume. Hoping to be maybe a bit unique in the threads they choose to sport this season.
However, unless you’re Heidi Klum with months to build a look and endless funds to hire make-up professionals, you’re probably not going to be lucky enough to avoid the Halloween costume doppleganger. Which is a bummer, because we could definitely use more of that level of creativity, no matter where you’re doing Halloween this year.
When it comes to the inspiration for popular Halloween costumes, the media is easily the most influential. Popular movies and television shows are always what is seen the most in the current costume trends. This year looks to be no different. Fashion experts at Boohoo know people are curious about which costumes we can expect the most of this year. And they came up with a list of what they think will be the most popular Halloween costumes for 2024.
Most Popular Halloween Costumes To Expect in 2024
Deadpool And Wolverine
These two will definitely be a popular look this year, for a couple of reasons. This year’s release of Deadpool 3 is the first time that the two comic book characters are seen together in a movie. Which makes it an optimal choice for a couple’s costume. The Deadpool look is also pretty easy to DIY, making it a great choice even for those on a budget.
Barbie And Ken
Another great choice for a couple’s look is everyone’s favorite two dolls. We saw this look last year with the movie’s 2023 release. But Barbie is so iconic and the costumes so much fun, there’s no doubt there will be plenty of each doll this year. And the best part is, the movie made all iterations of both dolls popular again, which increase costume options. Just don’t forget that signature pink!
Pennywise
The clown that haunts all of our dreams is set to make a comeback in 2024. It has been among the most popular Halloween costumes since It was released. But a 138% rise in internet searches for the look has experts thinking we’ll see a lot of them this year too.
Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce
Yes, it’s technically old news, and we saw a lot of these two last Halloween. But there’s new material for fresh ideas when it comes to this year’s Halloween costumes. Experts are predicting people will be dressing in Swift’s Eras Tour costumes, after her massively successful run of shows this year. But there’s also the added benefit of Kelce on tour with Taylor, or some Swift costume involving a lot of cats.
Beetlejuice
When the original film came out, we saw these costumes everywhere. The same thing is expected to happen this year with the film’s sequel dropping earlier this month. And if the new film is anything like the last when it comes to inspiration, there will be a plethora of ideas to take to the streets on Halloween.
Other Halloween costumes experts are expecting to see this year are characters from The Bear on Disney +, characters from Dune II, and Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked. Of course, if you’re in Las Vegas for Halloween, there will be plenty of lingerie and angel wings too.
