The year 2020 will go down in history as one we will remember forever, and a year like this calls for one amazing Halloween costume. Whether you’re celebrating at home in quarantine, or donning your mask to venture outside, these are the hottest costumes that are sure to make your Halloween a memorable one.
Icon Costumes
We lost some of the greatest people this year, from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman. Honor their legacies by dressing up like them for Halloween. Some other icon costume ideas include:
● Kobe Bryantt, NBA player
● Eddie Van Halen, Guitarist
● Little Richard, Musician
● Regis Philbin, Television personality
● Gale Sayers, NFL player
Pandemic Costumes
This year will be defined by the COVID-19 pandemic, and while the pandemic itself shouldn’t be taken lightly, the circumstances surrounding quarantine have made for some pretty humorous Halloween costumes. People are dressing up in hazmat suits, or as our frontline heroes like doctor’s, nurses, and police officers. Some other pandemic costume ideas include:
● A bottle of hand sanitizer
● A roll of toilet paper
● A container of Clorox wipes
● A bottle of Corona beer
● A half-dressed Zoom call participant
Television Costumes
Quarantine saw a lot of us watching more television, so it’s no surprise that some of our favorite television characters have made the list as some of the hottest Halloween costumes. Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin from Netflix’s “Tiger King” are guaranteed to be the top television costumes this year. Some other ideas include:
● The Belcher family from “Bob’s Burgers”
● Karate Kid from “Cobra Kai”
● Dwight from “The Office”
● A cheerleader from “Cheer”
● Daenerys Targaryen from “Game of Thrones”
Couples Costumes
Halloween is the perfect time to get spooky with your sweetie, and what better way to celebrate together than with coordinating costumes? You can go for something traditional like Bonnie &
Clyde, or something really inventive like Sheldon and Amy from “The Big Bang Theory”. Some other great couple costume ideas include:
● Salt & Pepper shakers
● Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy from “Spongebob Squarepants”
● Chip & Joanna Gaines from “Fixer Upper”
● Thing 1 & Thing 2 from “Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat”
● Princess Peach and Mario from “Super Mario Bros”
Family Costumes
Get the whole family in on the Halloween festivities by wearing matching costumes. The “Baby Shark” family is probably the most popular family costume idea for this year, but there are some
other really fun ones like:
● “The Incredibles” movie characters
● “The Wizard of Oz” movie characters
● A family of skeletons
● “The Greatest Showman” movie characters
● The “Flinstone” family
Whatever you decide to dress up as this year, be sure to have a fun and safe Halloween. Remember to practice social distancing so you can keep you and your loved ones healthy as we kick off the start of the holiday season. Happy Halloween!
