Popular Halloween Costumes for 2025

This post contains affiliate links

With Halloween approaching, you’re probably starting to prepare your costumes. This year expect to see many costumes inspired by KPop Demon Hunters, Happy Gilmore, Wicked, and other pop culture trends like Italian Brain Rot and Labubu. Sharing this year’s popular Halloween costumes for 2025 and click the links to shop.

Popular Halloween Costumes for 2025

1.) Kpop Demon Hunters – no doubt this is the hottest movie out there right now. Expect to see alot of Rumi, Mira and Zoey and Saja Boys too!

2.) Labubu – They may be creepy, but they remind me a little bit of a Gen Z furby. These popular collector toys have totally taken over this year and would be a cute costume to re-create.

3.) 6 7 – Don’t ask me what it means. But if you’re a parent, a teacher or around kids, you probably hear them say “sixxxx sevennnnn”. I think this is an easy Halloween costume ideas for parents or teachers.

4.) Wicked – Last year was Wicked mania and with the sequel coming out this fall, I’m going to venture to guess that Glinda and Elphaba will be popular costume choices amongst little girls everywhere.

5.) Italian Brain Rot – You may have heard of Tung Tung Sahur and Tralalero Tralala. Kids and Tweens are obsessed with these nonsense AI created characters that have become an Internet meme.

6.) Happy Gilmore – Thank you to Adam Sandler for reviving a popular comedy from the 90s and spurring the love of golf in kids everywhere. Happy Gilmore lives on.

7.) Taylor Swift – Our queen reigns supreme! And with the new release of The Life of a Showgirl album coming, our girl Tay Tay isn’t going anywhere.
