Did you know?

In Ireland, Halloween is also considered as a great day to find your soulmate - just like Valentine's day!

With Halloween just around the corner now, a lot of you are probably scrambling in search of a rad costume. Every year, we witness scores of people wearing costumes that are all kinds of cool―celebrities have sported creative versions of conventional costumes, where they themselves have been deemed worthy of imitation through a costume! Stars like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Miley Cyrus have inspired many to dress up like them on Halloween.

Whether it's for a party or because your kid is tired of wearing the same costume again this year, we've got you covered on some pretty cool costume ideas that you can experiment with, this Halloween.

For Women

Wonder Woman

No other DC character has a costume as sensual as Wonder Woman, right? You'll need her dress, belt, tiara, and a pair of gauntlets. It's easily available in any comic book store, but remember, you got to hurry! You never know, your friends might also be thinking the same.

Annabelle

Not in the mood to be Belle? Then be Annabelle! You'll have to do a little scary makeup and buy the white and red dress. Just slip a note written 'Find me' with blue-colored pastel, and haunt your entire neighborhood.

Woman Wrestler

Put on those boxing gloves, get a sporty outfit from the store and enter the party as a Woman Wrestler! You can show your support to women empowerment and be the famous Ruth from GLOW, the trending TV series on Netflix. You can also make an entrance with your besties wearing a wrestling outfit as the three ladies of GLOW!

Zombie

Seen the latest song of Taylor: 'Look what you made me do?' Thinking about a zombie look this year? You are making a right choice! Just get a long, blue or white dress, make it a little dirty or cover it with dirt, put on the zombie makeup, and you are ready! Act deadly, do your best zombie walk, and scare the people on the street with your horrifying look.

Creepy, But True

As told through legend, if you chance upon a spider on Halloween, it's supposedly the spirit of a loved one keeping a close watch on you.

For Men

Be a Mighty Superhero!

Are you a Marvel fan? Who were you last Halloween? Iron Man? Don't break the tradition of being awesome! Be a God of thunder this year! Be Thor! You can make his hammer out of some boxes and paint and get a cloak from any store. By any chance, if you see a Hulk in the crowd, don't forget to give him a smash!

Rick from Rick and Morty

If you don't want to spend a fortune on the Halloween costume, here's what you can do. Get your brown jeans out of the closet, wear your turquoise-colored T-shirt, get a lab coat of your college from old boxes, get a wig of a scientist or color your hair, and you're ready to go out as Rick!

For Kids

Minion

Just imagine your child as a Minion! Get a long sleeve yellow t-shirt, a blue jean overall, black boots, black gloves and metal goggles. You can get it from any store or online. Dress yourself as Gru & Lucy and you have your family ready for Halloween.

Logan

Is your child a fan of Wolverine? Then surprise him with the costume of Logan. You can get his claws from the market or make it on your own from cardboard. A lumberjack outfit will be perfect with a little transformation of the hair. Let your child feel powerful and unconquerable this Halloween.

Joy from Inside Out

The film Inside Out was a huge success and if you dress your child as Joy, there will be nothing more joyful than that. You'll have to color your girl's hair blue or get her a wig, dress her up in a bright yellow dress, and your Joy is ready!

For Undivided Couples

Dead Men Tell No Tales! But You Should!

Would you miss a chance to become 'Captain Jack Sparrow'? Wear a white, long sleeve shirt, a trench coat, dark black pajama pants, and black boots. Jack's hat gets pricey around Halloween, so you can cover your head with a red cloth and for the hat you can always blame it on Kraken. For your partner as Elizabeth Swann, you'll need a white shirt, red vest, chest belt, the hat, black pants, a toy sword, and most importantly the seducing look of Elizabeth! Savvy?

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen

This Halloween, why don't you both wear something stylish? Get a black jeans coat, a sword, and enter the party as the king and queen. This can easily be an inclination to the most watched series and its famous couple.

Stars Wars

If you are tired of being the cute couple every year, this time, dress up as enemies! For the Rey costume, you can order it online or make it on your own. All you'll need is a white scarf, pants, a belt, a pair of arm warmers and a single wrist cuff. For Kylo Ren, you'll need a black robe with a black apron attached to it, a hooded cape, black boots and you must have a lightsaber!

A Halloween costume is worn but once a year, so make the most out of this grand holiday. Don't hold back on turning your costume into a one-of-a-kind spectacle; experiment with all sorts of weird, never-been-tried-before accessories, and remember to have fun while doing it.
