Best Halloween Costumes 2024

Loki

Since the recent release of the second season of the Loki series, these antiheroes have been at the forefront of the superhero world. Spend this Halloween dressed up as two of our favorite variants with these awesome Loki costumes. If you’re looking for something simpler than a full Loki or Sylvie cape outfit, you can also dress up as the TVA version of their characters with this Variant jacket.

Evil

Get ready for the upcoming release of the Wicked film adaptation by dressing up as one of the two main witches this Halloween. This is a great costume option if you want to dress up with a friend; one person can wear Elphaba’s iconic pointy hat and the other can wear Glinda’s traditional pink dress.

Basketball player of the US team

Celebrate the Olympic gold medal wins of the USA men’s and women’s basketball teams with this easy, trendy costume. Just grab one of the USA’s official jerseys and a gold medal, and you’ll be Steph Curry or A’ja Wilson in no time.

dune

Immerse yourself in the desert world of Dune this Halloween by dressing up as everyone’s favorite Fremen, Paul Atreides and Chani Kynes. These Dune costumes work great as solo or duo costumes. And since there are many different Fremen in the film, these Dune costumes are also an option for larger groups of friends or families who want to go out as a Fremen tribe.

Everything is upside down

Dress up as one of these iconic emotions personified this Halloween. Go as the duo Joy and Sadness, or dress up as one of the brand new emotions introduced in the second film. This option is great for solo, two-person, or group costumes. And if you want to go as Joy this year, you can currently get this costume on sale for 24% off.

Jurassic Park

Keep it vintage and familiar this Halloween with a costume from the iconic first Jurassic Park film. Dress up as Dr. Alan Grant or Dr. Ellie Sattler—these costumes also work great as a duo. And if you want to make this a family or group costume, you can bring dinosaurs into the mix with a silly inflatable T-Rex costume.

Traditional

Even keeping it simple on Halloween can be super fun. There are lots of great ways to dress up as more traditional Halloween characters, such as 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 large family and want to create a simple but themed group look, traditional costumes can also be fun and quick and easy.

Clueless

Transport yourself to the 1990s by dressing up as a character from one of the most famous films of that era. Go alone as Cher or have a friend dress up as Dionne and go in pairs. Pair your costume with a pager or an old phone and you’re ready.
