22 Pop Culture Costumes You're Going to See Everywhere This Year
Finding the perfect Halloween costume can be a delicate task. Of course, there are so many old classics to rely on, but any pop culture connoisseur knows the best Halloween costumes are those "of the moment" pieces that are so, well, current. We've already compiled a veritable avalanche of movie and TV ideas that are certainly on trend, but what about those celebrities and famous figures who really dominated the spotlight this year? Join us as we dive into some of the biggest headlines of 2015 to bring you the costumes you won't be able to avoid. Or, who knows, maybe you'll be the one to break out the trend and show 'em how it's really done.
More Halloween Costume Inspiration:
Adele in the "Hello" Music Video
It's been less than a week, and Adele's new music video has already racked up more than 100 million views on YouTube. That's enough of an indicator that there will be plenty of Adeles out and about.
Kim Kardashian's "Break the Internet" Moment
It's been almost a year since Kim Kardashian stripped down for Paper. Almost. Since she just missed last year's deadline, there's a good chance we'll see imitators this year.
Drake in the "Hotline Bling" Music Video
Admit it: you're already copying all those sick dance moves from the "Hotline Bling" video. You may as well dance straight into your Halloween festivities, chunky sweater and all.
Tom Brady and His Deflated Football
"Deflate-Gate" was easily one of the most contentious sports headlines from the year. Plus, it's pretty easy to dress up as Tom Brady. Wrangle in a friend or significant other to be your deflated football!
Hillary Clinton and/or Donald Trump
The elections may be more than a year away, but we've started to see plenty of Donald and Hillary in recent months. Plus, Saturday Night Live already parodied both politicians, so it's safe to say they'll be out and about on Halloween, too.
Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj in the "Feeling Myself" Video
When Nicki dropped the video on Tidal exclusively, it was instantly iconic. Get a squirt gun, buy a burger, and go to town.
Miley Cyrus at the VMAs
There are a ton of ridiculous Miley outfits to choose from when it comes to this year's VMAs. We've selected this one, because it reminds us of that historic moment with Nicki Minaj asking, "Miley, what's good?!"
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner definitely garnered plenty of fascination and attention this year, between all those racy snaps and her lavish 18th birthday party. We have a feeling we're going to see a plentitude of plump lips this year.
Justin Bieber and His Beauteous Blond Locks
Think about all the flak Justin's received for his new hair. We wouldn't be surprised if we saw a hacked up Kate Gosselin wig or two.
Taylor Swift (Plus Special Guests)
Not only does Taylor have quite a few concert outfits for you to copy, but all those special guests could be your joke of the night. "Please welcome to the stage, this random vampire, this guy who didn't even dress up, and this seductive nurse!"
Anything Related to Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer has been having quite the year, so we wouldn't be surprised to see some iterations of her out and about. There are TONS of Inside Amy Schumer sketches to draw inspiration from, for a start. You could even take a page from her movie, Trainwreck!
Caitlyn Jenner
Seeing as Caitlyn is one of the biggest headlines of 2015, you just know people are going to try it, regardless of how PC it is. A handful of Caitlyn Jenner costumes have already appeared, much to the anger and dismay of most of the Internet. For the record, though, Caitlyn doesn't have a problem with it.
Steph Curry and Riley Curry
This would be a sweet duo to take after, especially considering how funny and cute Riley is. Turn the sass all the way up for this one.
Cinderella
You can't go one dang Halloween without seeing a Disney princess somewhere, right? Being that Cinderella was such a raging success, we have a feeling she might edge out all the Frozen costumes in 2015.
Left Shark
The dancing, sort of lethargic shark from Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show arguably stole the spotlight, going viral on the Internet shortly after the performance. Plus, if you get a little tipsy, that sleepy dancing will look so on point.
Anastasia Steele and/or Christian Grey
Given all of the intense moments from 50 Shades of Grey, we're expecting scores of couples to be dressing as these two. Think whips, blindfolds, handcuffs, and ratty jeans.
Saved By the Bell
Remember how everyone flipped out over that Saved By the Bell reunion on The Tonight Show? These costumes are easy to make, and you just know everyone's going to love them.
Anyone From Mad Max
Mad Max: Fury Road has arguably been one of the most talked-about films so far this year. So, go ahead: shave your head and kick some ass, Charlize Theron style.
The "Shame Bell Lady" From Game of Thrones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the season 5 finale of Game of Thrones was gut-wrenching. But don't pretend you don't yell, "Shame!" every time one of your friends f*cks up.
"Margarita Man" From Jurassic World
You might think Chris Pratt is the hero in Jurassic World, but you're wrong. In the face of death by pterodactyl, this man's priorities are still clearly in order. Plus, you'll get to have two drinks in your hand all night!
Cookie Lyon From Empire
Cookie is nothing short of a badass queen on Fox's hit show, Empire. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to strut around slaying everyone?
Madonna and Drake
Madonna and Drake both have pretty unique looks that are easy to replicate. And if you and a friend want to dress up together, you get to make out all night. You know, just like the time Madonna kissed Drake at Coachella.
