1

A Masked Singer

The masked singer is sweeping the nation. People are going nuts for this show and though the costume would be a little elaborate everyone will know who you are. Just pick a masked singer whether it's the butterfly, egg or poodle and carry around a microphone. Everyone will know who you are instantly.

2

Kim Kardashian wearing SKIMS

Kim Kardashian's new company SKIMS is all over Instagram and Facebook. She recently modelled them in a magazine. It would be super easy to just buy a nude bodysuit, wear a black wig and everyone will get a flashback to the Google ads that haunt their news feeds.

3

Marie Kondo

Marie Kondo was hugely popular this year. This is the kind of costume that you could easily find at a thrift store for about 20 dollars. Just find a white shirt, pleated skirt and tights, oh and don't forget the black bob wig.

4

Hannah B from the Bachelorette

Hannah B didn't find a husband this year but that doesn't mean you won't when you wear a dress like this on Halloween night! Find a long white gown and carry around a rose with you. Give it to the cutest guy or girl you see...there you go, instant date.

5

Chief Hopper or Joyce from Stranger Things

Let's be honest, Hopper and Joyce are owning the current season of Stranger Things. They've become the most likeable and relatable characters and are less weird to dress as considering they aren't 10.

6

Elton John from Rocketman

Easily one of the most popular movies of the year and definitely one of the funnest characters to dress up as. Wear Elton's housecoat and glasses or go for his sparkly baseball player uniform. The movie has countless outfits to choose from and everyone will know who you are as long as you've got those funky glasses on.

7

Greta Thunberg

Greta has become a modern day hero, doing everything she can to save the planet. Do her a favor and buy her costume at a thrift store so you aren't contributing to more waste. The yellow rain coat is a must, everyone will know who you are with that coat on. Braided pigtails and a neutral-toned hat is all you need to pull off this environmentally-friendly look.

8

Red from "Us"

If you want to be both "scary" and "culturally relevant" this year, dress up as "Red" from the movie "Us". She's truly creepy and super easy to recognize. Just get a red jumpsuit, finger gloves and those ever-creepy scissors.

9

Cliff Booth from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

One of the top movies of the year. Cliff Booth in his Hawaiian shirt and shade will be instantly recognizable and it's just a cool comfy outfit. You can even get your friend to dress up as Leo's character.

10

Riverdale Cheerleader

Riverdale cheerleader is one of the most popular costumes right now. Everyone wishes they were a cheerleader in high school...now's your chance! You might have to order it online unless you can find a cheer costume with a similar color scheme. Also, make sure you have that Riverdale symbol so people really know who you are.

11

The Hot Priest from Fleabag

Why did everyone go nuts for this priest!? We don't know, but chastity has never been hotter! Grab a basic priest costume from the party store and don't forget to mess up your hair a bit. You want to look like a "bad" priest.

12

Nala from the Lion King

The Lion King was a very popular movie this year so you'll be seeing lions, parrots, apes and meerkats everywhere! Grab an already made costume from a party store or dress up as Nala in a more abstract way with tribal prints and lion ears.

13

Captain Marvel

How cool would it be to dress up as Captain Marvel!? It would be pretty warm too. This might be one of those costumes you'll need to get at the Party Store. It would be pretty complicated to make yourself. Channel your inner super hero with this cool, relevant costume!

14

A Scoops Ahoy Employee

Dress up as either Steve or Robin of the famed franchise "Scoops Ahoy". This costume is surely available online but you can easily put it together yourself with a blue striped shirt, vest and red scarf. Don't forget to look eternally bored.

15

The Fab Five

This would be a hugely fun group costume to pull off. Honestly, as long as you get the hair right, people will know exactly who you are. Just make sure whoever dresses as Johnathan is wearing heels!
