If you go as Harley Quinn you're cancelled
Halloween is on the same date every single year, and yet every single year I still get shocked by the fact that “Halloween is so close omg I haven’t got a costume yet what am I gonna do” which is quickly followed by a mini breakdown, before I inevitably end up going as some sort of zombie cheerleader again. And I mean okay, fair play to me, credit where it’s due – I’ve gotten quite good at the zombie makeup. But at the end of the day it’s just boring now, and I know I’m not the only one who struggles with a costume every single year.
So, to help the mess in your life who is exactly like me and hasn’t got their costume sorted yet, or who doesn’t even have an idea of what they want to wear (if that mess if you then you have my respect ‘cause, like, same), here’s a list of all the super topical, 2018 costumes you could put together out of what is probably already in your wardrobe.
Just don’t go as Harley Quinn, I beg.
Lara Croft
In the spirit of all things girl power, what better way to show you’re a fucking STRONG woman who is not to be messed with than by dressing up as the most bad-ass character there is? Lara Croft has always been totally bad ass even when she was played by Angelina Jolie, but now the character is kitted out in relevant clothes, and she’s not trying to scale mountains and caves in a skimpy pair of hot pants and bralet (honestly an impossible task), Lara Croft has actually become even hotter – if that’s possible?
Queen Elizabeth II
Claire Foy was an absolutely stunning Queen Elizabeth II, and now you can be too. It’s all about the hair and make-up, other than that you can pretty much throw on any stereotypical royal costume and you’re good to go. Plus, you get to pretend you’re culture to all your mates, so it’s a win win really
Jughead and Betty
The POWER couple of Riverdale, this is the ultimate 2018 couples costume. Just get a cute beanie and some nice girl skirt and sweater combo and you’re golden. Or go for end of season 2 Jughead and Betty, complete with serpent’s tattoo and a dark Betty black wig (and the rest). Hot with a capital H.
OITNB inmates
Done every year, but still a classic – for a reason. It’s super easy, all you need is an orange jumpsuit, and mess your hair up a little bit. Just maybe skip the swastika tattoo if you’re going as Piper.
Fake News
As much as I’m not here for anything Trump has done, he has made an absolute joke of himself with his constant whimpering about fake news. News flash: the news isn’t fake, you’re fake Trump.
Showcase your disdain for the President (anyone else still in shock that he’s the actual President??!?) and stick a load of newspapers to a skirt, write the word ‘fake’ on a plain tshirt and there you go. Super easy, super quick, super niche, and totally original.
Steve from Stranger Things
Steve has had the ultimate glow up since season one of Stranger Things that it would be almost rude not to take notice of him. Although, after the way he took care of everyone in season 2, maybe we should say Daddy from Stranger Things (I mean, I’m mostly joking, but he is FIT).
All you need is a baseball bat, and messy hair. So easy, even this guy did it:
Mamma Mia
Literally any of the crew from Mamma Mia. But go full 70s for this. I’m talking flare white pants, platform boots, crazy hair. If you can set up your own musical number as well, then bonus points to you, cos I couldn’t do it.
Shuri from Avengers: Infinity War
She’s super intelligent, super bad ass, and does what she wants. Put your hair in some space buns, and just steer clear of looking too much like Princess Leia. Still super bad ass, still super topical, but kinda overdone maybe?
Pregnant Kylie Jenner
The BIGGEST news story of the year was, without a doubt, the fact that Kylie Jenner had a baby. Of course, we all knew she pregnant, we just didn’t know we knew, cos she never officially announced it. And I totally get why, because her life is scrutinised to the max anyway, but omg was it a frustrating nine months. At least now she’s making up for it with a tonne of super cute pics of Stormi.
All you need is a funky wig and a fake belly. Or even just a pillow under your t-shirt. Everyone will know who you are, promise. Just make sure your makeup is on point too – the biggest makeup mogul of the 21st century wouldn’t be seen dead in wonky eyeliner.
Meghan and Harry
Duh. Missguided have the perfect white playsuit to channel Meghan’s reception look, and all you need now is a fit guy in a suit. If he’s ginger, it’s a win (for the costume at least). Can’t guarantee you’ll end up marrying and being the heirs to a multi million pound fortune though.
