Halloween Costumes That Gen Z Will Love

The Juice is Loose!  Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder helped make Tim Burton's Beetlejuice a 1988 phenomenon, and they're back, along with Jenna Ortega, one of Generation-Z's 'It Girls', playing Ryder's (Lydia Deetz's) daughter.  This sequel is already a smash on track to outgross the original.  Beetlejuice costumes are a natural for Halloween 2024: It'll be loads of fun to sport that iconic black-and-white suit, green & white wig and full face makeup – It's gonna be a scene!  And the red Bride From Hell costume will be a frightfully delicious Halloween treat as well!

Deadpool and Wolverine are iconic Marvel characters known for their unique costumes and personalities.  Halloween is the perfect time for fans to dress up as these beloved superheroes, embracing Deadpool’s witty, red-suited look or Wolverine’s rugged, clawed appearance.  Both characters have a strong fan base, making their costumes popular choices for Halloween parties and events.  Dressing up as Deadpool or Wolverine allows fans to channel their favorite heroes’ spirit and add a touch of comic book flair to the spooky season.

Though Jenna Ortega’s pigtailed heroine came out a couple years ago, the Wednesday craze missed out on its release-year's Halloween, having premiered in November.  The kooky and spooky gal is still fun to dress up as – with her signature gothic looks being so easy to replicate and so Halloween-friendly.

Emulate Wednesday’s Nevermore school ensemble or her classic Peter Pan-collar dress – no matter what, never ditch the braids.

The Eras Tour’s runaway success inspires a whole slew of Taylor Swift-inspired looks by her devoted concertgoers.  Expect the impact to continue to reverberate this Halloween, with endless selections from Taylor’s many eras to choose from.  Girly girls can go for the shimmery dresses, while casual lovers can opt for her Red or evermore fits.  Either way, you can make the whole Halloween party shimmer.

Early last year, The Super Mario Bros Movie smashed box office records on its way to becoming a pop culture sensation.  The signature styles of the pizza-loving plumber and friends are great options for Halloween.  From Mario’s red cap and blue jumpsuit combo to Princess Peach’s cute pink ensemble, there’s something for everyone.

As the biggest cinematic phenomenon last year, we expect to see a continued explosion of hot pink at this year’s Halloween.  From Cowgirl Barbie to Roller-skating Barbie to feminine Tartan Barbie, there is no shortage of Barbie-inspired looks from the Margot Robbie-starring blockbuster.  Oh, and don’t forget Ken too for fun Halloween couple dress-up.

In 2022 the dancing droid murdered and shimmied her way into the hearts of millions.  A true Gen Z icon, M3GAN’s preppy ensemble of course makes a, uhmm, killer Halloween costume.  Top off the look with a long red hair wig and yellow contacts and you’re set for some scary good trick-or-treating!

In spring of 2023 the Disney Princess swam her way into the hearts of a whole new generation.  Ariel-inspired mermaid looks will likely continue to float into Halloween parties near you – folks are wearing her signature red locks and sparkly green fin.  For a finishing touch, carry a Flounder with you everywhere.  Bonus points if you can sing as charmingly as Ariel.

Manga and anime fans have long embraced One Piece’s pirate and beach-core looks.  But the series gained renewed interest thanks to the live-action show.  Colorful and distinctive, be the center of attention with Luffy’s signature straw hat, red cardigan, and shorts.  If you’re feeling creative, select from Luffy’s wide range of Hawaiian shirts or go crazy with either Zoro’s samurai-esque look or Sanji’s blonde gentleman style.

The Bridgerton spin-off captivated the hearts of many with its heart-rending romance and decadent royal opulence.  As one of last year's hottest pop culture moments, of course the show comes with plenty of style inspo perfect for Halloween.  Dress up like Charlotte and George attending a ball and you’re sure to be the diamond of the first water in any Halloween party.

'Barbenheimer' was an indomitable force in 2023.  I.E., on the other side of Barbie was Oppenheimer’s solemn tale of nuclear creation.  Yet, a pop culture sensation it still was after all – and a reasonable excuse, among many Hollywood has given us in the past, to dress up in Roaring 20s garb (Oppenheimer's tale begins in his younger days during the 20s), or in wartime-era (40s) garb.  A costume option to balance out all the pink of the Barbie side of Barbenheimer.

The Hannah Montana star not too long ago came back with the chart-busting hit “Flowers”.  A look from the music video, in which Miley donned a gold dress while walking down the street, is a true style moment.  Emulating the fierce look isn’t much of a hassle – just throw on a gold dress and a pair of the darkest sunglasses you have at home, tie your hair into a bun, and voila, you’re ready to “party in the U.S.A.”, or wherever you are celebrating Halloween.
