The Halloween season is upon us. You might be looking for ideas on which trending characters you would like to make a Halloween costume out of when you attend the parties or trick-or-treat during the holiday.
Several characters and figures that dominated the pop culture space this year are more likely to be the main inspiration for some of the Halloween costumes that people will wear, ranging from the most popular animated movie or a trending collectible.
Here is our list of ideas for trending Halloween costumes this year.
Characters from KPop Demon Hunters
The Netflix animated movie KPop Demon Hunters has become one of the biggest pop culture sensations in the last few months.
Not only did the film itself become the most viewed Netflix original of all time, but the songs in the soundtrack have also topped the Billboard charts and subject of TikTok trends.
Whether it's the members of Huntr/x or Saja Boys, the characters from the film are great inspirations for Halloween costume ideas, and they will be easily identifiable when you wear them to a Halloween party, as everyone at this point may have already seen or heard the movie. Who knows, you might even turn the party into a sing-along event.
Chicken Jockey from A Minecraft Movie
The Chicken Jockey from A Minecraft Movie somehow made the mark as one of the most popular characters in the pop culture space this year, as it became a major trend on TikTok during its theatrical release.
While the costume for the character might be challenging due to the complexity of the design and the potentially expensive material required to make it, there is no doubt that it will make you stand out among the crowd. Some people might even shout "Chicken Jockey!" at you the moment they see you in costume at a party.
Labubu
Labubu has become the biggest sensation today as millions of people worldwide are collecting different versions of the Pop Mart character, whether it's a blind box or an expensive plush.
This is a Halloween costume idea that could also help you stand out at the party, as well as an opportunity to be creative in many ways, as you can wear it as a onesie, mascot-style costume, or extensive makeup work.
Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked
With the upcoming release of For Good, we are close to Wicked season again, where it will dominate the pop culture space, whether it's listening to the soundtrack (again), TikTok trends, or endless discourse.
Elphaba and Glinda are expected to be popular costumes this coming Halloween, and it would also be an opportunity for people to be creative in recreating the iconic costumes from the film. However, an Elphaba costume might be challenging for some since it would also require you to turn your skin green. Either way, just like the other entries in this list, this will make you stand out at the party.
Hamilton
The Broadway smash hit Hamilton is back on the scene this year as it is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The filmed version, which is available to stream on Disney+, was recently released in theaters for a limited run as part of the commemoration.
With the musical back in pop culture awareness this year, it is also an opportunity for Halloween costumes this year, and it won't be surprising if a lot of people this year will wear its iconic costume at parties.
