10 Halloween Costumes That Have Us Really Confused

Similar versions of this costume, inspired by Carmen Miranda's "The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat," have perpetrated many stereotypes about Latinx and Brazilian culture for almost 80 years. Can this be the year we move on from the cultural appropriation and focus on appreciation?

Correct us if we're wrong, but no one in Colombia really plays soccer while wearing a crop top and underwear with the country's name printed on the butt.

Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday dedicated to honoring dead ancestors, and though you might have thought it was interchangeable with Halloween, it's not. Skip this catrina costume!

It's the sombrero that makes this costume questionable.

What even is a tequila princess? Princess Elena of Avalor is a much better option!

Whose idea was it to make a piñata sexy? Everyone knows what happens to piñatas at parties, right?

Adelita is the nickname given to women who fought alongside men in the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920. Portraying these women by wearing a super revealing and sexualized outfit disrespects everything the Adelitas fought to achieve.

Hey, we'll never say no to a good taco, but we're going to pass on this sexy option — again, what's with the hat?

Yeah, there's no way you could go against a bull in a bustier, miniskirt, and heels.

Why are you pretending to go by a different nationality on Halloween? Plus, do you really think all Mexican men wear bright ponchos? Stop perpetuating an ignorant stereotype.
