Yahoo Lifestyle 18 Extremely 2024 Halloween Costumes That Wouldn't Have Made Sense Last Year
1.JD Vance's couch.

Remember when someone randomly claimed on the platform formerly known as Twitter that JD Vance wrote that he'd made love to his couch in Hillbilly Elegy and a bunch of people were like, "Sure, that sounds plausible"? Anyway, for legal purposes, any reports of couch-fucking are just a joke.
2.Sabrina Carpenter and a person she arrested for being "too hot."
At her concerts, Sabrina will give one audience member a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs for simply being too good-looking. This option is good for a woman who wants to put in a lot of effort and a man who wants to put in zero.
3.The Olympian who was too well-endowed for pole vault.
Hey, his name is Anthony Ammirati!
4.Lana Del Rey and her swamp boat guide husband.
I mean, my TikTok FYP is just women dressed as Lana in a veil next to someone in drag wearing alligator garb.
5.A childless cat lady.

Another one courtesy of JD Vance! Technically, I am a childless cat lady every day, so why stop on Halloween?
6.Pretty much anything Challengers-related.
I saw some three folks on TikTok dressed as Patrick, Art, and the tennis ball. Hell, be the court! The churro! Let your mind run free!
7.A sweaty Charli XCX and Troye Sivan.
I went to the duo's Sweat tour this year. I don't have anything snarky to say, it was just one of the highlights of my year.
8.Olympic Australian break dancer Raygun.
This is genuinely one of the most searched-for Halloween costumes of this year. Think about that, kids!
9.Moo Deng.
Or simply channel the viral Thai pygmy hippopotamus by being damp and aggressive.
10."The Unknown."
At Comic-Con last weekend, I saw someone dressed as the original character penned for the scam-ish Glasgow Willy Wonka event. They even carried a full-length mirror. It went down swimmingly.
11.A coconut tree.

I can hear the exact cadence of Kamala Harris saying, "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?" in my head.
12.Chappell Roan.
Super cool people will have known who Chappell Roan is before this year, as I'm sure commenters will love to remind me.
13.Donald Trump (McDonald's version).
Look, I don't like the idea of people dressing up as a felon who has been found liable in court for rape...but if you have to...
14.Addison Rae at the VMAs.
This is one of the few red carpet looks of the past year that I believe I could recreate with a glue gun and a dream.
15.A stag and angel à la Saltburn.
Yes, Saltburn was released last year, but it was after Halloween so this still counts.
16.Yeah, Wicked, blah.
DO NOT ERASE CYNTHIA ERIVO FROM YOUR COSTUME.
17.Domingo + bridesmaids.
This SNL parody has been floating in and out of my head for eons now. Just ask my husband, who does not find it funny.
18.Finally, the Dune popcorn bucket.
Dune on its own? Very 1965. Dune popcorn bucket? All 2024.
What did I miss? LMK in the comments.
