“Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me…” Ahh, the song that Disney Channel-watching millennials grew all too familiar with in the early aughts. Kim Possible, the cartoon about a high schooler who fought crime in her spare time, earned a kind of cult status—alongside shows like the Powerpuff Girls, Spongebob Squarepants and Lizzie…

School girl Britney, ’90s tour opener Britney, “Oops” era Britney—those costumes have been insanely popular, but where’s the love for Christina Aguilera?! The pop queen has had some iconic looks, but one I’ll never get over is her “Come on Over” video look. It makes for the ideal Christina Aguilera-inspired costume, and while finding exact…

Forget the Pumpkin Spice Latte—one of the surest ways to know Halloween is on the horizon is when the empty hull of an old Toys ‘R’ Us, Books A Million or Luby’s Cafeteria gets transformed into a Spirit Halloween Store. The costume shop has become a go-to for last-minute getups, but its online storefront is…

How to dress up like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for Halloween 2023

As Taylor Swift geared up for her first tour in years—which kicked off on Friday, March 17, aka St. Patrick’s Day—we saw a surprising jump in our Swift-inspired costumes from #13DaysofHalloween past.

Even though Netflix’s series, Wednesday, didn’t premiere until a month after Thanksgiving, it was already generating tons of buzz as a Halloween costume (with searches up 120 percent then). Since then, interest in Wednesday Addams’s looks have only snowballed, inspiring the whole “soft goth” trend (aka a muted smoky eye and lip). A black collared…

With the release of Midnights, Taylor Swift is everywhere. And while you could throw on a gray floral sheet, sunglasses and cat ears and call yourself an “Anti-hero” ghost, there’s another low-effort—and equally cozy—last-minute costume to consider: A throwback to Swift’s Folklore era. While Taylor Swift once sold a sweater that looked just like the…

“Sk8r Boi” and “Complicated” are 20 years old?! Yeah, that made us feel old too. Whether it’s Avril Lavigne’s anniversary of hitting the TRL charts—or her meteoric rise on TikTok—I was surprised to learn from my colleagues at PureWow that Avril Lavigne costume ideas are one of the top searches this Halloween. For some, you…

Oh, Umbrella Academy, how you mess with our heads: What’s the deal with Hargreeves?(Nobody knows.) Wait, is Cha Cha played by Mary J. Blige? (Sure is.) And is this whole show based on a graphic novel by…the lead singer of My Chemical Romance? (Indeed.) In honor of the third season’s release earlier this year, you’re…

Midnights may not be released until just before Halloween—October 21, to be exact—but that’s still plenty of time to learn every lyric by heart. And capture a look from Taylor Swift’s Midnights era ahead of any Halloween parties you head to (or, you know, should you hit up a concert down the road). Swift’s ’70s-glam-inspired…

When it comes to throwback Britney Spears Halloween costumes, the ‘Baby One More Time’ schoolgirl look has been done. And done. And done. You could hunt down—or DIY—a denim gown and convince someone to be your Justin for one seriously good couples costume, but if the Texas Tuxedo look is too much for you, there’s…
