Halloween isn’t just about who wears the scariest mask anymore and it’s definitely not about who wears the sluttiest outfit either. The coolest costumes are all about pop culture trends and it’s never too early to start thinking about who you’ll be wearing on Halloween. Last year, you couldn’t find a party without finding a Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Danaerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones, or an Orange Is The New Black prison inmate. So this year, try forgetting the old classics and take inspiration from some of the biggest moments in pop culture this year. With standouts from Caitlyn Jenner’s now iconic Vanity Fair cover to Taylor Swift’s squad in her “Bad Blood” music video, we’ve listed down 8 potential costumes that are stylish and pretty self-explanatory. These made the spotlight this year, and so can you.
