Undoubtedly, this is the power couple of the moment. If you want to dress up with your partner, friends, or family for Halloween 2023, this can be a great option.
Dressing up as Taylor Swift is simple, as the American pop diva has given us numerous iconic looks. From the time she appeared in pajamas in the «You Belong With Me» video to her iconic message t-shirt and shorts from the «22» music clip, and her characteristic oversized shirts. You just need to choose the look that’s easiest for you to recreate with your clothes, and voila! Keep in mind that for some, you might need red, round glasses.
To dress up as Travis Kelce, it’s also quite straightforward, especially if you’re a sports enthusiast or have someone nearby who is. Ideally, you’d find an American football jersey, and add homemade shoulder pads made from foam and sewn from the inside.
No one knows where Hailey and Justin Bieber were headed dressed like this (although there’s a lot of theories about it, including the possibility of it being a planned advertisement), but their appearance in these outfits has sparked many memes.
To go as Hailey, you need a short red dress, red high-heeled shoes, and a mini bag in the same color. To go as Justin, grab a gray tracksuit, some Crocs, and a preferably pink cap.
If you’re looking for a couple’s costume that exudes style, Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are the characters to inspire you in 2023. Competing with Taylor Swift and her new beau for the title of the couple of the year, the Puerto Rican artist and the eldest Jenner sister have showcased numerous iconic looks since they got together. However, the outfits they wore during Milan Fashion Week are among the defining ones. He wore an oversized white shirt, jeans, a beanie, a short-strapped bag, and glasses, while she sported a trench coat as a dress. It might seem simple, but only they can pull it off, and it works perfectly as a costume!
@voguemagazine It’s the cutest thing ever: #KendallJenner and #BadBunny make their fashion week debut. While the couple is still defining their couple style, but it seems like they’re starting to hit their stride, as proven at #Gucci’s spring 2024 show during #MilanFashionWeek ♬ original sound – erikliveitup
Following the release of the Netflix documentary about David Beckham’s career, he and his wife Victoria Beckham have been the center of global attention.
But, to be honest, it’s not like they both just started to become fashion referents (and pop culture icons) now; they’ve always been an epic couple who constantly grabs all the attention.
To dress as Victoria, all you’ll need is an elegant suit, long flowing hair, and oversized sunglasses covering most of your face while you try to maintain a serious expression. To be Beckham, tell your partner or a more attractive friend to slick back their hair and put on a simple yet glamorous suit. If you nail it, people will instantly recognize your costume!
There’s never a wrong time to pay homage to Rosalía, even on Halloween. The Motomami World Tour and her subsequent EP «RR,» especially the «VAMPIROS» music video, have provided countless ideas for relatively easy-to-replicate streetwear looks. For this one, all you need is a dark miniskirt, preferably pleated, a blue or red shirt, tall black boots, a belt matching the shirt’s color, sporty-style sunglasses, and hairstyling with two braids or high buns.
If something made us laugh out loud this past weekend, it was Bad Bunny and Pedro Pascal in the Saturday Night Live sketch of overprotective mothers, where both stars played the roles of two Latina mothers at a presentation meal for their son and nephew, Luis, along with his US girlfriend. Without a doubt, a costume with great potential to go viral.

If Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the power couples of the moment, Shakira is the woman of the year in the Latin music world. The Colombian singer is enjoying a great peak in her career, reaffirmed with her latest release, «El Jefe.» So, why not dress up as her this Halloween? To achieve a look like the one in her latest music video, you only need tall boots, a fringe skirt (which you can even make at home with a trash bag), a black cowboy-style hat, a black tank top, and a silver belt.

If there’s something that has become terrifying for many celebrities associated with Britney Spears in the 2000s, it’s her memoir book, «The Woman in Me,» published on Tuesday, October 24th. Even before it came out, it had already revealed some of the most compromising topics about her relationship with Justin Timberlake, the sexualization of her artist image, the legal guardianship, her mental crisis in the late 2000s, and her family situation, among others.
Undoubtedly, Rihanna’s iconic performance at the Super Bowl has become one of the BIGGEST in pop culture in 2023. You simply need to grab a red jumpsuit, a round cushion (unless you’re pregnant, in which case you already have an important part of the outfit), and your Fenty touch-up palette. And you’re all set; just be ready to give it your all all night!
If you’re heading out with your friends for Halloween and you’re looking for a group costume, what’s better than dressing up as the most famous family in America? The queens of reality shows, the one and only Kardashians.
You have plenty of options to choose from based on your personality and mood, whether it’s Kim’s nude looks from Skims, Kourtney’s gothic version, or even Kris Jenner, the Momager herself if you prefer to run the show.
«Princess Diana» hasn’t become a hit related to the Barbie movie for no reason. Nicki Minaj is not just one of the greatest female rappers of all time, as Billboard magazine pointed out; she’s also an icon with multiple outfits to inspire you. The up-and-coming talent, Ice Spice, has a unique and glamorous vibe. Both of them love the color pink!
If you thrive on public scandal or simply want to grab attention, even if you feel misunderstood because no one gets your outfits with a personal touch, this costume is for you! You can choose to be Kanye, a multifaceted genius in fashion and music, but with some issues managing controversies, or you can be the architect and her partner, Bianca Censori, a muse who has revolutionized the Italian public with her unique outfits.
The first time we saw the cover of ‘VAMPIRE,’ the first hit from Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album ‘GUTS,’ we could easily imagine it as a Halloween set. Vampires are a classic Halloween theme (as we already have seen with Rosalía), but as Rodrigo says, they are not the only bloodsuckers. Dress up as Olivia and drop a few hints on the spookiest night of the year.
Peso Pluma has made a strong impact in 2023, becoming one of the most successful artists and taking music to a new level. In his home country of Mexico, the Día de los Muertos is one of the most important traditional celebrations. The singer has a unique style, known for wearing oversized brands, short hair, and sometimes sporting glasses and shiny Spiderman pendants. Dressing up as the performer of «LADY GAGA» is undoubtedly one of the hottest Halloween ideas right now.
Without a doubt, if there’s one thing Doja Cat knows how to do, it’s leaving us speechless. Her recent hit, «Paint the Town Red,» immediately went viral thanks to its catchy lyrics. Her music video seems inspired by this time of year. You can choose the first outfit option with a shaved head and a miniskirt, or you can paint your whole face in a diabolical style, just like Doja does at the end of the song.
Blue Ivy, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay Z, has been one of the stars of the Renaissance World Tour with her dance duet with her mother. At just 11 years old, she has shown remarkable stage presence, accompanied by dazzling outfits matching the rest of the dancers. If you want to create a viral TikTok on Halloween night with a duet, this is the perfect costume for you!
Breaking Bad always comes back, or rather, it never left! This explains the recent buzz when Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul (who play Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the series) were seen at Drake’s 37th birthday party, serving cocktails from their own brand of Mexican mezcal. If you want recognizable and popular costumes that will make you the life of the party, you can’t go wrong with these.
Halloween is a versatile night where even pink is welcome. Barbie has undoubtedly been the movie of the year, making this a winning choice. Dress up in a tight pink suit or neon leggings and roller skates, imagining you’re crossing Barbieland from Venice Beach. It’s a great idea, whether you decide to stay at Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House or go out with your friends to have drinks and dance to Dua Lipa’s «Dance The Night.»
When Cillian Murphy appears in productions, it means two things: drama and tremendous success. Murphy has a face and acting style that gives him an incredible air of mystery. So, dressing up as one of his most famous characters, such as Thomas Shelby (Peaky Blinders) or J. Robert Oppenheimer (Oppenheimer), is a great idea if you want to be the center of attention.
If your closet is filled with dress shirts and pleated pants, Harry Styles is your best choice this Halloween. Find your most colorful garments, add suspenders, and any glamorous accessories you have at home.
Karol G is a great choice if you’re the kind of person with crop-tops and miniskirts galore in your wardrobe. Just put on your favorites, some high boots, long gloves, sleeves, or mittens for just one arm, warm-toned sunglasses, and the largest matching headphones you can find.
If you have a red blazer in your wardrobe, you have everything you need to dress up as The Weeknd this Halloween. Just add a shirt, pants, a tie, black glasses, and black gloves, and you’re good to go.

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t feel properly dressed up without a fake mustache, Camilo is your best choice. The Colombian artist dresses quite modestly, but to add a characteristic touch to his iconic mustache, go for a white tank top and wear many rings.
We all know the incredible branding work that reggaeton artist Feid has done to make the color green his personal brand, and he has succeeded! Because if we see a whole crowd dressed in green, we instantly think of him. His pose and style are also highly distinctive, and he’s currently at the height of success after releasing his latest album, «Mor, No Le Temas a La Oscuridad,» which fits perfectly with this time of year. It’s ideal for a Halloween party with a pure reggaeton style!
Dressing up as one of the founding fathers of reggaeton is an ideal way to pay tribute and become the life of the party. Who wouldn’t be in awe of you when you’re the one and only Daddy Yankee? Get a shiny and extravagant suit, a cape, and glasses, and remember to shout, «DY!» If you don’t ask the DJ to play «Gasolina» during your first 10 minutes in the club, you’re not prepared for this costume.
2023 is the year of the Colombian artist’s comeback, and he recently released his single «Colmillo» with Tainy and Young Miko. Since J Balvin released «COLORES» in 2020, it’s clear that he loves everything colorful, the brighter, the better. Find your best orange, red, or yellow attire, put on some standout sneakers, and don some good grillz if you want to nail the outfit.
Dressing up as the iconic Argentine producer Bizarrap is one of the simplest options on this list. All you need are mirrored sunglasses, a gray hoodie, a black t-shirt, and a cap, preferably with his initials.
Another group costume that will surely be a hit. Måneskin recently went viral with an incredible cover of «Ella Baila Sola,» the song that Peso Pluma and Eslabón Armado took to new heights. Each of the four band members (Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi, and Ethan Torchio) has a highly distinctive style that would make them recognizable anywhere. If you love rock and roll and partying hard, you’ve got your Halloween inspiration!
Throughout this year, Anuel AA has expressed several times that he wants to get back together with his ex, Karol G (despite never receiving a public response from her beyond her song «Mi Ex Tenía Razón»). Anuel also has a unique style and when you go «brrrr,» everyone will recognize your costume. The only thing is that the reggaeton artist is still recovering from some health issues for which he had to postpone all his commitments, so from here, we wish him a speedy recovery.
«LALA» was the musical phenomenon of the summer, with which the Puerto Rican artist has revolutionized social media. Dressing up as Myke Towers is a great idea if you’re going to a party where this hit will be played, and you can dedicate it to your crush in the middle of the darkness. When you sing the chorus, everyone will know that you’re imitating the hitmaker.
