11 ideas to inspire you this holiday
It’s that time of year again, that special time in October when everyone knows they should be putting their Halloween costume together, but nobody actually does until the last minute. Don’t worry, this year will be different and we’re here to help. Here’s our list of the best costume ideas for 2021.
1
A Squid Game Character
If you haven’t seen Squid Game yet, then you must be immune to peer pressure. The show has captivated audiences around the world. The Korean drama recently caught fire in the United States, and everyone is raving about it. If you want to be in the know, dress up as a character from Squid Game this Halloween. You can’t go wrong.
2
Ted Lasso
An American football coach turned soccer coach, Ted Lasso is a goofy but lovable character. Based on an old ad for the Premier League, Apple decided to take a risk and greenlight a show based on the character. And they struck gold. The show has already gained critical acclaim and even won an Emmy. Ted Lasso is the perfect costume for the sports fan who wants something unique this year.
3
Loki or Mobius
Disney recently released Loki on Disney +, and the internet loved it. Filled with twists and turns nobody expected, the show kept audiences on their toes. Loki also has some incredible visuals too, lending itself to great costume ideas. If you want to rep someone in the Marvel Universe this year, try picking a character from this show.

Kim K’s Met Gala Dress
Kim Kardashian lit the internet on fire with her 2021 Met Gala dress. The reactions were…mixed, to say the least. The memes, however, were hilarious and the dress became iconic. Why not turn your Halloween party into your own Met Gala by getting your own Kim K dress this year?
5
Harley Quinn
At this point, Harley is always in season. DC decided to take another crack at the Suicide Squad series with a new release earlier this year—and it was actually pretty good. But of course, Harley Quinn steals the show in yet another DC movie. At this point, you can’t go wrong going as Harley for Halloween. Margot Robbie can really do it all, can’t she?
6
Meghan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
Meghan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have been all over the internet with their new romance. As unlikely as the couple may seem, they look happy together. And we’re all for it. If you need a couples costume this year, go as this Hollywood power couple.

Michael Myers
If you want more of an on-brand costume this year, go as Michael Myers. With a new movie coming out in the Halloween franchise, Michael Myers is back in the public eye. I mean, it’s Halloween, can you really go wrong dressing as a horror movie character? We think not.
8
Brittney Spears
Brittney has been in the news lately regarding her conservatorship case. People on Twitter have been calling for Brittney’s freedom, demanding that she gets back control of her life. Show your solidarity this Halloween by going as Brittney.
9
Olivia Rodrigo
In one year Olivia Rodrigo went from a relative unknown to an absolute music superstar. Her album SOUR had so many hit songs that she’s now one of the most played artists on Spotify. This is Olivia’s year and we’re just living in it. But if you want to feel like the main character this year, then go as Olivia Rodrigo for Halloween.
10
Cruella de Vil
Disney is at it again—they released another remake of a beloved classic. This time, Cruella De Vil takes center stage. The audience gets to surprisingly relate to Cruella after hating her for so many years. For this Halloween, show off your glamorous side and go as Cruella.

The Thrift Store Special™
Let’s be real: we all wait till the last minute to get our costumes together. Now that Halloween is a few days away, we’re all scrambling to throw something together. But thrift stores are a procrastinator’s best friend—they’re great for cheap clothing items for costumes. If you’re panicking over your last-minute costume, a trip to thrift is a must.
