Instead of hemming and hawing over what to wear this Halloween, leave the hemming to your dressmaker and the rest to Google Trends. It’s okay to embrace being basic – ahem, trendy – with these, the most popular Halloween costumes for 2022.

Bonus: you’re less likely to sew your hand inside your dress pocket again.

We dusted off our crystal ball and are predicting that these costumes will be the hottest of the season.

Whether you prefer to dress up as a beloved character from Stranger Things, a star like Barbie, or an inanimate object, we’ve got all the bases covered. Wait a minute. Who’s on first?

The Most Popular Halloween Costumes for 2022

1. Barbie and Ken

The new movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling hasn’t even come out yet, but it’s already generated quite the buzz. Fingers crossed that the renewed interest in Barbie will make all those boxed-up dolls in our closet worth something. The hauntings are getting out of control.

Barbie Costume:

  • Pink bodysuit
  • Blonde wig
  • Leg warmers and fanny pack

Ken Costume:

  • Pink shorts
  • White polo
  • Blonde wig

2. Stranger Things

With the release of season four, there’s a whole new cast of characters to dress up as this year, outside of the usuals. We just need…eight more friends and we’ve got the full crew!

Eddie Munson:
You heard it here first: Eddie Munson is going to be the costume of the year. Plan accordingly.

  • Hellfire Club tee
  • Denim vest
  • Brown wig

Hellfire Club Shirt Design - Eddie Munson

Max:
The breakout character of season four, Max, is an easy and comfortable costume option. Well, mostly. Er, spoiler alert?

  • Track jacket
  • Headphones
  • Cassette player

 

Chrissy
She was only physically present in one episode, but Chrissy made quite an impression. Literally. Can someone call the ceiling guy?

  • Hawkins High cheerleading costume

3. House of the Dragon

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen had their moments to shine in Game of Thrones, but there’s a new — well, technically older — dragon king and queen in town. The costumes are easy to replicate, but the ability to breathe fire? We’re gonna need to stop at Taco Bell first.

Daemon Targaryen:

  • Daemon Targaryen costume
  • Battle helmet
  • Blonde wig

Rhaenyra Targaryen:

  • Rhaenyra Targaryent costume
  • Dragon plush
  • Braided blonde wig

4. Bridgerton

Season two of Bridgerton came in with almost as much fanfare as the first, in no small part due to the addition of the Sharma sisters and a love triangle we didn’t know we needed. Speaking of things we don’t need: the sixteenth ball gown we just bought on Etsy. No, no, still ship it.

Kate Sharma Costume:

  • Kate Sharma dress
  • Purple bow

Edwina Sharma Costume:

  • Edwina Sharpe gown
  • Tiara
  • Jewelry set

5. Sarah Sanderson from Hocus Pocus

As we all know from Mean Girls, Halloween is your chance to look hot. So naturally, dressing like the lustiest Sanderson sister is the way to go. Now we just need to find a bus driver.

What to Wear:

  • Sarah Sanderson costume
  • Blonde wig

6. Anna Delvey

If you’re going to dress up as the fake German heiress that inspired the Netflix hit Inventing Anna, you better be prepared to talk like her all night. Be prepared to lose a few friends.

  • Fake German Heiress tee
  • Glasses
  • Anna Delvey Foundation hat

7. Bratz Dolls

Barbie isn’t the only doll making a comeback this year. With the rise of the Y2K aesthetic on TikTok, we predict that dressing up as a Bratz doll will also be a popular choice. 2023 will be your year, Cabbage Patch Kids.

What to Wear:

  • Bratz logo tee
  • Y2K sunglasses
  • Platform boots

8. Elvis

Thanks to the new biopic about The King, Elvis is top of mind this Halloween. More specifically, Austin Butler‘s lips are. And…other parts.

What to Wear:

  • Rhinestone suit
  • Costume wig

9. Top Gun

The new Top Gun movie premiered 36 years after the original, making the costumes more recognizable than ever. In other Tom Cruise news, we’re really looking forward to the release of Mission Impossible: 82.

What to Wear:

  • Flight suit
  • Aviator sunglasses

10. Homelander from The Boys

Starring as the main antagonist of Amazon’s series The Boys, Homelander is basically Ken but with every superpower imaginable. Except for the ability to remember people’s names immediately after being introduced, probably.

What to Wear:

  • Homelander costume

11. Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel

The Ms. Marvel miniseries on Disney+ set up the backstory for Kamala Khan in preparation for the upcoming 2023 movie, The Marvels. It’s the story of a sixteen-year-old fangirl turned “one of the gang,” which is weirdly not how it went when we broke into the Jonas Brothers’ dressing room.

What to Wear:

  • Ms. Marvel costume
  • Red tights
  • Red turtleneck

12. Marc Spector from Moon Knight

Another miniseries from the Marvel universe, Moon Knight starred Oscar Isaac and need we say more? Okay, we will. The best part about this costumes is that it’s a three-in-one, because of Marc’s dissociative personality disorder. So if you get tired of being dressed up, just put on some jeans and say you’re Steven Grant.

What to Wear:

  • Moon Knight costume

13. Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy is a Netflix original featuring crime-fighting superhero kids. You might be thinking: more kids with superpowers? The answer is yes. Want to know what we’re thinking? That sandwich looks delicious.

What to Wear:

  • Umbrella Academy school uniforms (for all genders)

14. Fembot from Austin Powers

The Fembots from the Austin Powers movies are robotic women who have guns hidden in their bras. Like Madonna, but more vclethal. And fluffy.

What to Wear:

  • Negligee
  • Pink silk gloves
  • Blonde wig (also works for Dolly Parton cosplay)

15. Powerpuff Girls

You know them. You love them. You’re counting down the days until they finally release the live-action version of them. In the meantime, why not play dress-up?

Blossom Costume:

  • Pink dress
  • Red bow
  • White tights
  • Mary Jane shoes
  • Redhead wig

16. Batgirl

Just because the upcoming Batgirl film was cancelled doesn’t mean you can’t still dress up like her. Although we might suggest skipping the cape, for obvious reasons. Edna?

What to Wear:

  • Batgirl costume
  • Mask
  • Cape

17. Offred/June from The Handmaid’s Tale

Hulu’s dystopian series might feel a touch too close to our reality right now, but Halloween‘s your chance to make a statement. And that statement is: you look fantastic in red. And bans off our bodies.

What to Wear:

  • Handmaid Bonnet and red dress
  • Or this licensed Handmaid’s Tale costume

18. Harry Styles

He’s a singer, actor, songwriter, boy band front-man, Taylor Swift’s ex, and the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue. Most importantly, he has great hair.

Harry Styles’ flamboyant sense of style means there are countless iconic fashion moments to choose from, but the cover look from Fine Line is a timeless costume choice. Well, if you ignore the whole “no white after Labor Day” thing. We’re certain Harry would.

What to Wear:

  • White pants
  • Pink silk button-down
  • Pink suspenders

19. A Mushroom

Mushrooms are in. We have some guesses as to why, and we’re here to embrace it. And the fact that the costume version is semi-phallic makes the trend even better. Even if you do end up looking like Super Mario’s Toad.

What to Wear:

  • Toadstool hat
  • All white or brown outfit

20. Doctor Strange

The third-highest grossing film of 2022, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness brought the Sorcerer Supreme back to the silver screen. Not that he ever really left. The devil works hard, but Marvel works harder. And Kris Jenner works harder than both of them combined.

What to Wear:

  • Doctor Strange cosplay costume
  • Eye of Agamotto necklace
