Finding novel Halloween costumes can be hard, and sometimes creating a clever costume just becomes confusing for others. To avoid confusion and stay relevant with the times, I have created a list of 2015 pop-culture approved costumes to choose from.
1. Leslie Knope and Crew
I think many of us are still mourning the end of Parks and Rec so why not revive some beloved characters. Everyone except Jerry.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Love of all things breakfast
-Business casual clothing
-To Treat yo Self
2. Derek Zoolander
In 2016 the very delayed sequel to the beloved high fashion satire Zoolander is coming out so why not channel your inner model.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Blue Steel Pose
-To be really really ridiculously good looking.
-Orange Mocha Frappuccino
Want to make it a couple’s costume? Add Hansel, he’s so hot right now.
3. Kylie Jenner
Clearly the most buzzworthy Kardashian of 2015 (sorry Kim) with her sister Kendall coming in a close second.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Lip liner...a lot of lip liner
-Clothes two sizes too small for your body
-Constantly pouting and trying to live up to your sisters expectations
4. Feeling Myself Music Video
Miley, What’s good? Now you and a friend can finally channel your inner Queen B or Nicki and rock some seriously #flawless fashion.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Leotards
-Faux Fur Shawls
-A whole lotta sass
5. ‘Shame’ Nurse
Yeah, you remember this bell-slinging nurse from arguably the longest nude scene in Game of Thrones, nay HBO history.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-A bell
-A robe
-The ability to say “Shame’ throughout the entire night
How to make this a couple costume...on second thought maybe don’t.
6. Margarita Man from Jurassic World
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Two margaritas at all times
-Tourist outfit
-Be Jimmy Buffett
7. Ruby Rose a.k.a. Stella
It takes quite the person to cultivate mass popularity from being in just 8 episodes of a series. Well that’s exactly what this androgynous pop culture icon did thanks to the wildly popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Women’s Prison Uniform
-Perfectly coiffed hair
-Australian accent
8. J.K. Simmons from Whiplash
Ever wanted an excuse to be a complete asshole? Found it. Channel your inner Gordon-Ramsay-as-a-band-teacher and really give people something to be scared of this Halloween.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-A tight, black crew neck shirt
-Band minions to follow you around all night
-An Oscar
9. Harley Quinn
With the highly anticipated, anti-hero movie Suicide Squad coming to theaters in 2016 the Harley Quinn costume will surely be a popular choice at the next Comic Con. Get ahead of the crowd and rock this clown-princess-psychoatric patient look this Halloween.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Multi-colored pigtails
-Sexy clown or jester outfit?
-An unhealthy obsession with the Joker
10. Amy Schumer
Want an excuse to be a Trainwreck? Of course you do. Amy Schumer has fallen into the spotlight this year and may I say for the better. This comedy queen is far from bashful, but has already become an icon for young women in the most explicit ways.
What You’ll Need for this look?
-Cocktail(s)
-An unfiltered opinion
-Zero cares
Happy Halloween!
