Halloween 2020 Is Still Happening: Here Are Standout Costume Ideas!

The pandemic has nothing on fake blood and fangs. Trick-or-treating plans may be put on hold, but Halloween 2020 is alive and thriving—costumes and all. As frightful festivities transfer onto virtual platforms, it’s more important than ever for costumes to transcend the screen. To get in the Halloween spirit this year, step out of your PJs and seize the opportunity to dress up. Consider adopting one of the costumes below to put coronavirus cancellations to shame. 


Maleficent

Tap into your dark side with a look inspired by the infamous Disney villain. Don head-to-toe black and the character’s iconic horns for the ultimate anti-Aurora ensemble. 

E-Boy/E-Girl

Allow the popular TikTok trend to take over your wardrobe for the evening. Color-dipped hair strands, heavy winged liner and faux freckles will help replicate the viral online persona.

Rue from Euphoria

Pair your comfiest loungewear with a bold eye inspired by Rue. Glitter, gemstones and graphic liners will capture the fantastical, elaborate makeup the character is known for in the HBO series.

Carole Baskin from Tiger King

With animal print at the forefront of fall trends, there’s no better time than now to pay tribute to the Netflix documentary. Complement a cheetah frock with a flower crown to bring Baskin’s animal sanctuary into your own home. 

Baby Yoda

Channel the Disney magic with a costume inspired by the adorable creature from The Mandalorian. To clone The Child, gather a robe and floppy ears—and don’t forget a tiny soup cup! 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Pay tribute to the late Supreme Court Justice with a feminist-approved ensemble. A black robe and bib will do the judge justice while encouraging others to vote in the upcoming election. 

Harley Quinn and the Joker

Harley Quinn recently made a comeback in Birds of Prey, rendering her signature red-and-blue look timely and on-trend. Encourage a friend to dress up as the Joker to establish your own supervillain squad. 

JLo and Shakira

Grab your bestie and go all-metallic in a duo costume inspired by the pop icons’ Super Bowl performance. Luscious locks and layers of fringe embellishments are essentials. 

Among Us Characters

The popular online game features animated players to assign all members of your crew. Designate a color to each friend, and don the hue from head to toe.  Feel to call dibs on the Imposter!
