11 Pop Culture Halloween Costumes for 2024

With the countdown to Halloween officially on it’s time to add the finishing touches to your elaborately planned costume.

Whether you took inspiration from one of 2024’s many pop culture moments (we envision many Swift and Travis Kelce look-alikes) or went for something more original (pulling out those trusty cat ears and LBD…again) we can’t wait to see all the costume reveals this October 31.

Now if you got a little too invested in making your home a pumpkin spice paradise and forgot that Halloween is literally next week, or just love leaving things to the last minute, we have some awesome costume ideas that capture the very essence of 2024 pop culture.

Yes, we all binged this docuseries on America’s most illustrious cheer squad, so be ready to see a whole lot of pom pom clad gals practicing their thunderstruck routine in the clurb after a few beverages (JK… kinda).

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan

Short and Sweet X Saltburn – the ultimate couple’s costume. If you ship Barina then this is the costume for you. Grab your significant other or bestie and each take inspiration from one half of one of 2024’s most talked about couples.

We envision plenty of glittery leotards, voluminous bangs and some on fleek eyeliner for Carpenter’s look. For Keoghan, a pair of antlers paired with an open white shirt should work nicely.

Agatha Harkness – Agatha All Along

@jessie2016 Part 2 of the Costume Series! 🎃 Who’s been watching Agatha All Along on @disneyplus?! @marvelstudios I’m obsessed. 💜🖤 Go get your purple back girl! I’ll be over here binging it until the end of the road #marvel #marvelstudios #agatha #agathaallalong #wandavision #halloween #halloweencostume #witchesroad #witch #witchcraft #witchvibes #seekestthoutheroad #maidenmothercrone #ltksalealert #ltkstyletip #ltkhalloween #thecraft #halloweenfashion #october #fall #fallfashion ♬ Agatha All Along – Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez

For all the Marvel fans, why not show your love for the fandom and put a new spin on the old original witch by dressing up as Marvel’s dark witch Agatha?

Deadpool and Wolverine

Staying in the Marvel universe, why not take some inspiration from Blake Lively’s and Gigi Hadid’s take on Deadpool and Wolverine this Halloween?

Wicked

@theisabellaapple We actually slayed this look. 💚🩷#wickedwitchofthewest #glindathegoodwitch #halloween #goodwitchorbadwitch #glindaandelphaba #elphabaandglinda ♬ Popular – From “Wicked” Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003 – Kristin Chenoweth

With the new wicked film gracing our screens in November, it can only be expected that we will be seeing a few Glinda and Elphaba’s gracing the streets this Halloween.

Whether you intend on dressing up as Glinda the Good or The Wicked Witch of the West with your bestie, TikTok is inundated with costume inspiration to help you out.

@theouai 🍏🍏🍏 @Julianna Astrid #halloween #halloweencostume #halloweencostumeidea #halloween2024 #brat #charlixcx ♬ apple x supercut ft lorde – jevan

If you are a little upset that Brat Summer has been left in the past, then this is your chance to revive it once again. Brat Halloween is all the rage this spooky season.

We imagine plenty of lime green and grungy outfits taking over the club this Halloween night.

Beetlejuice

@indistar What BEETLE JUICE characters would wear in 2024☺️ #beetlejuice #outfitinspo #halloweencostume ♬ Say My Name – Alex Brightman & Sophia Anne Caruso & Kerry Butler & Rob McClure

With the Beetlejuice remake having landed in cinemas in September, we can expect lots of people dressing up as some of the film’s creepy characters.

Whether you choose to go as Beetlejuice in a stripy black and white ensemble with an added green wig or recreate Lydia Deetz’s iconic red dress, this is sure to be a firm favourite this Halloween.

Taylor Swift (Halloween version)

@the.metcalfes Love this football boy…😍 #halloween #couplehalloweencostumes #taylorswift #traviskelce #taylorswifttraviskelce #halloweencostume ♬ original sound – Cowboy Han

It would be simply rude not to include the Eras Tour icon in this list. We predict that there will be lots of Swifties taking the opportunity to dress as the star this spooky season. Simply choose an era and go costume crazy.

Obviously, the ultimate couples costume would include her Kansas City Chief’s uniform-clad beau by her side.

Elisabeth/Sue – The Substance

@laurenmaykirkland ‘Sue’/Margaret Qualley from The Substance (2024) easy/last min trending Halloween tutorial 💗✨🧪 this film has been my personality for the last week so was only right #thesubstance #margaretqualley #demimoore #halloweeninspo #halloween2024 #brunettecostumeideas #halloweencostumeideas #halloween2024 #pumpitup #coraliefargeat ♬ Pump It Up – Endor

Another outfit we think will be super popular this year is Elisabeth Sparkle and Sue from The Substance.

For Elisabeth a bright yellow trench coat and a red bag would replicate her look easily, and for Sue a pink bodysuit and baby pink eyeshadow would work perfectly.

MomTok

@whitneyleavitt can you tell who really didn’t want to do this #mormonmomtok ♬ SexyBack (feat. Timbaland) – Justin Timberlake

Now if anyone shook up the TikTok universe in 2024 it was the group of young women from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

With the iconic matching black tracksuit TikTok the group of Utah moms posted, it could potentially make a fantastic group costume with your gals. Bonus points if you can master the dance.

Chappell Roan

@puremage #chappellroan #theriseandfallofamidwestprincess ♬ Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl – Chappell Roan

If you are like us and simply cannot get enough of the Pink Pony Club, then a Chappell Roan inspired costume is the way to go.

Taking inspiration from the Midwest Princess you will need a blue dress, tiara and a sparkly sash and you will be hot to go!
