You guys know that I love Halloween. And my annual ideas for Halloween costumes is one thing that I keep consistent on this blog.
Throughout the year, I spot things and I’m like “Yep, that will make a good costume.” This year was no exception.
Without further ado, here are my top 8 costumes for 2018
Mason Ramsey aka the Yodeling Walmart Kid -
This little dude went viral earlier this year and then became a pop cultural
icon. He appeared on Ellen, at Coachella - people loved Mason. And this costume
is easy - you just need jeans, a white shirt, cowboy boots, a bow tie and your
golden.
Handmaid’s Tale - This isn’t a “new” idea,
but I just binged watched the show, so let me have my moment here. The
Handmaids are a good group costume, but please don’t make it slutty. Also
inspired by my binge watching: Orange is the New Black prisoners, cast of Stranger
Things or the all the vintage garb from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Gritty - The Philadelphia Flyers recently
introduced a puzzling mascot - Gritty. At first, people were straight up like
WTF, but now he’s become a bit of pop culture icon. If you’re already a Flyers
fan (sucks to be you), than you may have a jersey and can just add some wacky
fur to your face and voila! Halloween 2018 done.
Kayne and Lil’ Pump - This rap duo
appeared on the season opener of SNL dressed as water bottles. Grab your bestie
and decide who gets to be Perrier and who can be Fiji.
Banksy - This one may be a bit more tricky
to pull off, but bare with me. The illusive artist, Banksy, pulled off a huge
stunt last weekend. One of his famous paintings was being sold at Sotheby's in
London when the frame started shredding the painting. Banksy planted the
shredder INSIDE the frame for this very moment more than two years ago. It was
estimated that the stunt DROVE UP the value of the artwork by DOUBLE. To create
this costume, I’m visioning a box that has the painting half in / half out, and
your head peering over the top of the paper inside the frame/box. Read more
about the stunt here. Bonus sidekick costume
could be the girl with the balloon!
Tonya Harding - With a hit movie about her
life and a stint on DWTS, Tonya Harding was in the spotlight earlier this year.
A Tonya costume is a little tricky to pull off, but a quick Amazon search pulls
up a several ice skating costumes that you can totally Tonya-ize. Add yourself
a Nancy and you have a nice little pairs costume!
Yanny / Laurel - This year’s version of
“the dress,” you totally know you listened to that audio file. For the costume,
you can do a little two sided costume with one side Yanny and the other Laurel!
LaCroix - Last year I was at a coffee shop
on Halloween and the barista was dressed as a can of LaCroix and it made me
LOL. Here’s a cute spin on
that costume with tye-dye dresses. Amazon also has a dress where
you can just add “LaCroix” with a Cricut machine!
I’m assuming you’ll see a lot of Royal Couples,
Superheroes, Incredibles, Queer Eye, Stranger Things and G.L.O.W. Girls.
