Especially because you have us, and our handy guide for procrastinators.
Many iconic moments were had in music this year, meaning there are plenty of costumes to make out of them. From new albums to jaw-dropping performances, here are a few last-minute costumes for anyone looking for a fun, easy way to enjoy the spooky-meets-sexy holiday like a superstar.
Taylor Swift: The Life Of A Showgirl
If you thought Taylor Swift would take a long break after concluding the Eras Tour, you thought wrong. Not even a year later, she’s back with her twelfth studio album, The Life Of A Showgirland she didn’t hold back when creating the album’s aesthetics.
It was arguably her most elaborate album photoshoot yet as she channeled her inner Vegas showgirl for the costumes. Whether people like The Life Of A Showgirl or not, it’s all anyone’s been talking about since its release, making it the perfect costume for 2025. All you need is glitter, a headpiece, and a bedazzled bodysuit to transform into Swift herself.
Amazon Prime has an array of options ready to arrive before Halloween. For $35.99, AFAVOM has a Swift-esque sparkly bodysuit that will arrive just in time for the holiday. However, if you’re not subscribed, Taylor Swift-inspired outfits have been popping up at Spirit Halloween stores all over the country.
Or, if you were lucky enough to see the Eras Tour, try repurposing one of your concert costumes. Target is also an option, especially as they have various sparkly headpieces to match the ones Swift wears in The Life Of A Showgirl photos. Their Rhinestone Headpiece is on sale for only $11.99.
KPop Demon Hunters: HUNTR/X
Many may argue about what the biggest movie of the year has been so far, but it’s undeniably KPop Demon Hunters. The fictional group Huntr/x took over the Billboard Hot 100 charts, with their song “Golden” reaching #1. What better way to celebrate the 2025 K Pop dominance than by dressing up as the group for Halloween?
The best part is that there are so many different outfit options, and most of them are based on fashion that’s already currently trending. The black leather outfit worn by the girl group in the film is the easiest to recreateyou probably already have an all black outfit in your closet.
Colorful wigs can also be acquired from Amazon Prime or your local Halloween store. Amazon has a purple wig just like Rumi’s for $28.99, a pink one like Mira’s for $16.99, and a black Zoe wig for $30.77.
Katseye’s Gap Commercial
Katseye took the world by storm this summer when their Gap commercial dropped. Their choreography became the latest TikTok trending dance and immediately made Gap seem a lot cooler than American Eagle after their controversial Sydney Sweeney ad.
You can either get a group together and shop Gap Denim Featuring Katseye at your local Gap, or just use whatever denim you already have in your closet. For added fun, learn the Katseye dance and join in on the TikTok trend.
Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Performance
The music industry entered 2025 with a bang, even Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance instantly went viral. From his long jeans to mocking his enemy Drake in front of the world, February was dominated by Kendrick Lamar memes.
While it may feel far away now, Halloween is the perfect time to remind everyone of Lamar’s iconic performance. You probably already own a pair of jeans you can use; all that’s left is a backwards hat and a blue leather bomber jacket like Lamar’s.
While finding one just like Lamar’s may be a challenge this late, if you can find a black one at any store, try painting it with blue fabric paint from your local craft store. Amazon has one option from the Maiyifu brand for $13.99, while Michaels carries blue fabric paint for only $4.79.
Lady Gaga: Mayhem
Lady Gaga has been a popular Halloween costume since her music industry debut back in 2008. In recent years, many fans have revisited her iconic 2009 VMAs performance look.
However, this year, Gaga blessed her fans with a whole new era when she dropped Mayhem in March. The “Abracadabra” singer traded in her iconic platinum blonde hair for dark black, along with a much more gothic style. From now on Coachella weekend to her many music video looks, there’s so much to pull from.
The the easiest would be an all-black lookwith a black wig, license plate has an option for only $10, and a makeup look that mimics Gaga’s. YouTube makeup artist Kate Reynolds has the perfect tutorial to get the Gaga look.
Benson Boone
While a slew of artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, and Chappell Roan had their breakout years in 2024, this year was certainly a big one for Benson Boone. Frome his Grammy performance backflip to his second studio album, American Heartdropping in June, Boone has dominated the music industry this year.
He’s drawn comparisons to everyone from Harry Styles to Freddie Mercury because of his fun stage outfits. Luckily, many of those outfits are fairly easy to recreate. According to chelsfromthecrypt on TikTok, Spirit Halloween actually carries a pop star costume inspired by Boone’s VMAs look.
