Best Halloween costumes 2024
Loki
Since the recent release of the second season of the Loki series, these anti-heroes have been at the forefront of the superhero world. Spend this Halloween dressed up as two of our favorite variants with these great Loki costumes. If you're looking for something a bit more simple than a full Loki or Sylvie cape outfit, you can also dress up as the TVA version of their characters with this Variant jacket.
Wicked
Gear up for the upcoming release of the Wicked film adaptation by dressing as one of the two main witches this Halloween. This is a great costume option if you're looking to dress up with a friend; one person can sport Elphaba's iconic pointy hat and the other can wear Glinda's traditional pink gown.
Team USA basketball player
Celebrate the Team USA men and women's basketball Olympic gold medal wins with this easy, on-trend costume. Simply grab one of the official Team USA jerseys and a gold medal, and then you'll be Steph Curry or A'ja Wilson in no time.
Dune
Jump into the desert world of Dune this Halloween by dressing up as the most popular Fremen, Paul Atreides and Chani Kynes. These Dune costumes are great for solo or duo costumes; plus, since there are many different Fremen in the film, these Dune costumes are also an option for any larger friend group or family to go as a Fremen tribe.
Inside Out
Take on this Halloween dressed up as any one of these iconic personified emotions. Go as the duo of Joy and Sadness, or dress as one of the brand new emotions introduced in the second movie. This option is great for single, two-person or group costumes. Plus, if you're looking to go as Joy this year, you can currently get that costume on sale for 24% off.
Jurassic Park
Keep it vintage and well-known this Halloween with a costume from the iconic first Jurassic Park film. Dress up as Dr. Alan Grant or Dr. Ellie Sattler - these make a great duo costume as well. Plus, if you want to make this into a family or group costume, you can bring dinosaurs into the mix with a silly blow-up T-rex costume.
Traditional
Keeping it simple can still be super fun for Halloween. There are plenty of great options to go as more traditional Halloween characters, like a mummy, vampire, ghost or skeleton. Many of these costumes are unisex, which is great for buying double and going as a duo with a friend or partner. If you have a big family and are looking to do a simple but themed group look, traditional costumes can be fun, quick and easy too.
Clueless
Channel the 1990s by dressing up as a character from one of the most iconic films of the era. Go solo as Cher or have a friend dress as Dionne to go as a duo. Pair your costume with a prop pager or old phone, and you'll be ready to go.
