You may say you love 2024, but it's been a brilliant year for costume-worthy pop culture moments. From the characters of Dune 2 to Charli XCX's Dude, there are tons of things you can dress up as this Halloween and still look super trendy.

So say goodbye to Parisian bugs and the many Barbies and Kens of 2023, because Halloween 2024 is here and your costume needs a little novelty.

From Drake and Kendrick to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's meme-making novel, here are our picks for the best options for your potential pop culture-inspired Halloween costumes.

1. Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan

In their weird little Met Gala outfits or her Espresso outfit. Or even just a Man United T-shirt and an Irish accent for Barry if you're feeling lazy. Just remember to say that the Joker is “sir, how evil porson“.

A rat, but make it a boy. Much more interesting than wearing a worn out green boy on its own. Add a rodent element. Spice it up.

3. Keir Starmer's worst nightmare

A dress made entirely out of cigarettes to signify the ban on smoking outdoors. P.S. don't make your own out of real cigarettes, it will be prohibitively expensive. This is not Lady Gaga in a meat dress situation, you'll smell terrible for no reason, and you'll be incredibly, incredibly flammable.

It may have come out in 2023, but the real thing knows that Saltburn didn't really take off until early 2024. Plus, it's ripe for costumes: armor, reindeer ears, angel wings, gossamer dresses. You have your pick.

His and hers costumes: a Turkish Olympic shooter with one hand in his pocket and a cool South Korean shooter with little protective lenses for her eyes. (Note: “Olympic shooters” also includes Reagan, because of her name.)

6. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey

A good excuse to wear your Eras tour suit again, and a good excuse for your boyfriend or girlfriend to wear shoulder pads. You're welcome!

Bonus points if at least one of you is in a relationship. You win Halloween if you have a threesome.

Move over, Carmi, it's the year of Luke. While people almost certainly won't be able to tell them apart, this is a hot 2024 Bear costume.

Sequel to Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Beetlejuicegave us a great excuse to bring Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice costumes back from the dead. If you don't trim that fringe properly, it doesn't count!

10. Feyd-Rautha from Dune 2

Warner Bros. Pictures

Yes, you can go as a Freeman or as Princess Florence Pugh with her beautiful chainmail wigs. Or You can go all the way, shave your head and dye your teeth black. Welcome back, Feyd-Rautha.

11. Harleen Quinzel from Joker: Folie à Deux

Good news for blondes everywhere: It's officially acceptable to dress like Harley Quinn again—this time, you just have to look a little like Gaga. Plus, Folie à Deux comes out October 4, so it'll be peak fashion.

12. Miss Howard of Abbott Elementary School

ABC

Think about it: Put on some teacher chic. Then pair it with the Bible and some spontaneous song. Congratulations, you've become Barbara Howard.

Wear a suit and a little pin with the American flag on it, but every time someone asks you a question, you have to pause for three minutes or answer as if you were asked something completely different. Walk a few walls. Work is good.

14. Partially killed Trump

Once again, the suit, the flag, and the bloody ear. But be careful, if you're a redhead, you might start to look a little like Van Gogh.

15. Smoking duck meme

What better way to protest the Keir ban than by dressing up as this icon? Especially if you're going to a party wearing the costume recommended under number 3.

16. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

This year, there has been much talk of a conspiracy that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in love. This can be a little tricky if you don't look alike, or maybe print out “I'm with Matt” and “I'm with Ben” t-shirts. Jennifer Lopez optional.

17. Unknown from Willy Wonka's experience

Need I say more? This costume was obviously originally purchased at a cheap Halloween costume store, so it's entirely reproducible.

Lots of decorations, flat caps, droppers, etc. And then suddenly arguments break out in the middle of a Halloween party.

You'll need a ridiculously sleek and expensive-looking ball gown, a fake pregnant belly, a whisk, and a bowl. This is the perfect Halloween costume if you want to look hot, too.
