For some reason going as a flamingo has been trending this year. According to data on Pinterest, the amount of costume and fashion ideas have been saved at a higher level, going up 77% recently as we near Halloween. Don't be surprised if you see a flock of flamingos show up at your party!
4) Donna from Mamma Mia
Mamma Mia 2 out this past summer and audiences were dancing in their seats. Now they'll be dancing right into your Halloween parties! Donna, the main character is a popular choice this year after all the box office success of the movie. In the second film, it tells Donna's story of how she came to live on this small island in Greece, got pregnant, and met all 3 dads! Dressing up as "young Donna" who is portrayed in the second film, is a popular and fun choice!

Black Panther the movie was a mega blockbuster hit that generated a lot of fans. More likely than not you see some Wakanda warriors defending your Halloween parties this year! The movie was released this past February and people have been holding out for an excuse (not that they need one) to walk around like a Wakanda warrior and you better believe they'll be around!
Couples Costumes:
1) Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
No surprise here. How can you not have the latest power couple who's royal wedding just happened this past year as a top choice for a couple's costume this Halloween?! I wish I was doing this but one, my fiance hates to dress up and would definitely not go for dressing like a prince and 2) I've already picked out my costume and I'm excited about it! This is a fun option though and sure to be relevant this Halloween!
2) Ariana Grande & Pete Davidson
The newly engaged couple who have gotten together this past year in such a short period of time have been dominating the headlines. Pete Davidson with his bleach blonde hair and Ariana Grande with her high pony and babydoll dresses would make for a popular Halloween costume this year and it's predicted we'll see them out and about at the parties this season.
3) Riverdale's Betty & Jughead
Based on the Archie comics, the hit TV show has become a staple in pop culture, especially among millennials. Two of the main lovebirds on the show, Betty and Jughead are predicted to be a popular choice among the youngins this year.

You gotta have a group costume for the ladies too! This is a super fun and highly popular one this year.

5) Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin
Another couple who recently got engaged within a short time span is the Biebs and Hailey Baldwin.
