2024年に必要な唯一のポップカルチャーハロウィンコスチューム

Every year we say we’ll sort our Halloween costumes out well before our best friend’s uni mate’s girlfriend’s party, and every year we forget until two days before the event. Like us, you may be in need of some inspiration for the upcoming festivities, and what better than a topical costume to flex your pop culture knowledge? From fictional TV characters to pop stars and memes, these are Dazed’s top costume picks for Halloween 2024.

One of the most surprising couples to come out of 2024, Lana Del Rey and her alligator swamp guide hubby Jeremy Dufrene tied the knot in Louisiana this year, making their vows on the wetlands where Dufrene works. Whilst Lana may not have given us the official photos of her gown yet, the two were pictured enjoying a ride through the marshes – gator spotting no doubt – with Lana in all black and Dufrene in camo. If you’ve got a third in your party, you could throw in the alligator too. 

Costume includes: swamp boat propeller, ear protectors, camo two-piece, bridal veil, alligator (open with caution)

The Holy Trinity of 2024 pop girls are ripe for costume-ification this Halloween. It’s a pretty solid bet as Charli xcx, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter all have their own, very distinct looks – so grab your strappy white tops, ginger wigs, Shirley Temple pumps and go crazy. It may have already been done by xcx-acolyte Benny Drama and co, but that shouldn’t stop you – the trio will definitely be among the most popular looks this year.

Costume includes: BIC lighter, suit of armour, sexy baby vibes

Deputy PM Angela Rayner (or “Angela Raver”) caused a stir among the British media last month when she was spotted dancing the night away at super club Hï Ibiza, filmed by Denise van Outen no less. Jumping euphorically behind the DJ booth to the sound of Gotye’s 2011 classic “Somebody That I Used To Know”, Rayner stayed true to Labour colours, sporting a red jumpsuit, with headphones around her neck. A particularly easy costume to pull off if you’re a redhead with a fringe.

Costume includes: ginger wig, Hobbs jumpsuit, LK Bennett cork wedges, headphones, cross-body iPhone strap and outraged Daily Mail readers 

Our list wouldn’t be complete without this year’s greatest fashion moment, which was of course Maison Margiela’s 2024 couture show. Featuring John Galliano’s busted marionettes and Pat McGrath’s porcelain doll make-up, the show was a hit from the off, and everyone already has all the bits for the costumes anyway, after copying the runway looks all year.

Costume includes: Charity shop cardi, waist trainer, frazzled wig (plus a demeanour that is equal parts unsettling and alluring)

Earlier this summer a band of lesbians hosted a Clairo-themed rooftop party in Brooklyn, an ode to the singer-songwriter on her birthday. The unfortunate highlight of the night happened when a “twink fell through the skylight”, or so rumour had it (he’s fine, by the way). The party celebrated the internet term ‘Clairo shade’, which basically means that you’re shading Clairo anytime you’re not actively living, breathing or thinking about the singer. 

Costume includes: leg plaster cast and crutches, ‘Clairo Shade’ cake, carabiners, Dr. Martens 

All you need for this one is a black suit, skinny tie, cigarettes and a heavy helping of indie sleaze arrogance. With a little help from Charli xcx plus the 00s music revival, The Dare has quickly become one of the biggest breakout musicians of 2024. His hit single “Girls” currently stands at just over 30 million streams, so if you happen to be a man with an all-female friendship group, The Dare and his “girls” could make costume hunting very easy. 

Costume includes: Celine suit, underwear from the “Guess” music video, square shades and Marlboro Reds

Models, influencers and appropriately terrifying for Halloween, Nara and Lucky Blue Smith have been cooking Capri Suns from scratch and capturing the internet’s cold heart in the process. Either that or we’re all following out of pure fascination. You’ll need to emulate Lucky’s 1950s wardrobe, Nara’s flicky bob, and a home-baked Marc Jacobs handbag too. Good luck. 

Costume includes: Dramatic sleeves, a low-pitch, cooking utensils and three uniquely named children

This autumn has seen a rejection of pumpkin spice latte girlies and the rise of the hoa hoa hoa girl. Named after the ‘hoa’ sound heard in the song “Eyes on Fire” from the Twilight soundtrack, a hoa hoa hoa girl sees life through the eyes of Bella Swan. She romanticises the rain, puts a blue filter on every picture she takes, prefers reading to hanging out with friends, and is likely in love with a fictional vampire. Despite Twilight being set in Forks, Washington, the dreary British weather is surprisingly suited to hoa hoas. 

Costume includes: ugly duffle coat, backpack, wired headphones, baseball cap, morning mist and a Chevy pickup truck. 

The most famous baby penguin…ever? Pesto was born in January this year at Melbourne’s Sea Life Aquarium and currently weighs a whopping 22.5kg (50lb). Basically, with respect, he’s huge. Fluffy, fat and frankly, adorable, gobbling down around 30 fish a day. Pesto is so adorable that he’s not only a viral sensation, but is also welcoming visitors from around the world. If you’d rather be cutesy than scary this Halloween, Pesto’s your penguin. 

Costume includes: Fluffy brown fat suit, beak, bucket of fish.

Equally terrifying was this year’s unlicensed Willy Wonka experience, the immersive “family event” that transfixed the world. Hosted in Glasgow by the House of Illuminati, actors were handed their costumes an hour before the event was due to start, so you’ve got no excuse. The event was such a viral disaster that the breakout star of the show, 16-year-old The Unknown, even landed a gig working at the London Dungeon. 

Costume includes: The Unknown’s silver mask, green oompa loompa wig, “Event cancelled by House of Illuminati” sign, AI generated gibberish, abandoned warehouse

When Tinashe sang the lyrics “Is somebody gonna match my freak?” in her song “Nasty” earlier this year, it prompted a viral reaction across social media, with memes emerging of those who do, in fact, match each other’s freak. Some examples? Well, Charli xcx found her equal in Sweat Tour partner Troye Sivan, there’s Matty Healy and Gabbriette, and of course Nates Vibe and Shanika Louise, whose infamous “Nasty” whines have been co-signed by Tinashe herself.

Costume includes: a duo of your choosing, both of equal insanity or lack thereof 

The undeniable breakout star of the year, Moo Deng in all her chomping, slimy glory has become an icon of our times. The Thai pygmy hippo and her bratty, frolicking ways have dominated feeds for the past two months, so expect many Moo Deng costumes this spooky season. The direct translation of her name is “bouncy pork”, so oil up. 

Costume includes: trotters, mud, a knee to gnaw on

If you’re looking to hookup with someone this Halloween then you might want to skip this one. Depending on what you’re into, of course. Nicolas Cage’s disfigured, occultist serial killer Longlegs will certainly bring an element of fear if pulled off accurately. One of this year’s biggest horror moments, Cage is unrecognisable as the film’s creepy titular character. Disturbing though it may be, on the plus side, if you’re looking to repel then this will work wonders. 

Costume includes: flour to douse self in, Keith Richards wig, bible for your own safety.

Of all the Industry characters you could dress up as, disgraced publishing heiress Yasmin Kara-Hanani is the most cunt. Hell hath no fury like a posh girl scorned, and Yasmin’s main character arc this season has now elevated her to Halloween costume status. Go as incognito Yas hiding from the paps, then change into full country attire as the newly minted Lady Muck.

Costume includes: Linda Farrow sunglasses, Loro Piana cashmere turtleneck, Pierpoint & Co baseball cap

If you can’t wait to put an LA influencer in their place, then this is the costume for you. Much has been made of the unnamed (possibly gay) man who interrupted Brittany Broski’s “Apple” dance at the Sweat tour, but I think he’s the fearless anti-hero our culture so desperately needed.

Costume includes: Asos mesh top, backwards cap, inflated sense of self

The rollout for the new Wicked movie has been going on for about 3 years, and it all came to a head last week when a fan-made poster landed on the internet that altered Elphaba and Galinda to reflect the original Broadway promo. Pay tribute to the unexpected drama by dressing up as AI versions of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Costume includes: Ball gown and tiara, witch’s hat and old broomstick

This one might be a little bit more conceptual than the others. How does one dress as Bisexual Awareness Week? You could go as the Challengers trio, in particular Mike Faist’s Art or Josh O’Connor’s Patrick, who are both in love with Zendaya’s Tashi, and also harbour undying lust for one another, too. Either that or dress in the colours of the Bi Pride flag.

Costume includes: Sweaty tennis gear or anything from Carhartt, the bisexual’s brand of choice

This Halloween, grab your nearest old maiden or young whippersnapper and prepare for this season’s hottest couple’s costume: the age gap relationship. The controversial AGR has had our culture in a chokehold of late, with a new wave of MILF visibility taking over cinemas, and the topic is also discoursed to death on Twitter practically every other day.

Costume includes: Nicole Kidman Babygirl wig, Harris Dickison Prada officewear
