Meet The Trendiest Halloween Costumes Of 2023 And they’re already starting to sell out.

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.
Believe it or not, the trends for this year’s Halloween costumes are already being set. Between new movie releases and other pop culture phenomenons in both our lives and kids’ lives, it’s obvious which ensemble choices anyone in touch with pop culture might want to make.
HalloweenCostumes.com shares what they anticipate will be the most popular Halloween costumes of 2023 for everyone in the family. The release of Barbie and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse this summer means that Roller Barbie (or any Barbie) and Spider-Gwen costumes will be top picks for women and girls. Video game characters and Marvel superheroes will not be going out of style for men and boys anytime soon, and Bluey, Paw Patrol, and The Little Mermaid inspired costumes for all ages and sizes will likely be popular choices as well. Likely because of the release of Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and audience’s fixation on other favorites like Peaky Blinders, even “historical” costumes are trending.
The fun doesn’t stop with human trick-or-treaters — pet costumes are on the rise, too. So if you or your kid is set on being Ariel from The Little Mermaid, grab a Flounder costume for your pup and they can match.
Women’s Costume Trends For women, the trends are directly linked to the female favorites in the most recent releases: Barbie, Wednesday, and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse.
Barbie The Little Mermaid Spider-Gwen or Spider-Woman Wednesday Addams Video Games (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda)
Girls’ Costume Trends The trends in costumes for girls are not surprising, given all of the beloved characters in the most well-known shows and movies in the past few years.
The Little Mermaid Barbie Bluey Paw Patrol Spider-Gwen
Men’s Costume Trends A lot of popular men’s costumes this year are unrelated to recent pop culture, but fun nonetheless. Whether the goal is to give the neighborhood kids a laugh or a fright, there’s plenty of popular options.
Inflatable costumes Scream and other horror movies Video Games (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda) Barbie Spider-Man
Boy’s Costumes for Halloween Wouldn’t it be so adorable if one child went as Bingo — linked above in the girls’ costume trends — and the other went as Bluey? This year’s boys trends, which includes the lovable blue puppy, seem to be dominated by characters that have been around the block before.
Bluey Marvel movies (like Spider-Man) Video Games (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Five Nights at Freddy's, Sonic the Hedgehog) Paw Patrol Transformers
Group Costume Trends Much like the individual costumes, the trending group costumes for 2023 are inspired by cultural relevancy, but also classic fan favorites.
Super Mario Bros. Harry Potter Marvel and superhero Disney Villains Historical
Pet Costume Trends Yes — there are even trends for what costumes pets will be wearing for Halloween this year. Maybe they’ll be the flounder to your child’s Little Mermaid.
Disney Dinosaurs and other animals Food Occupations
There’s no shame in getting ahead of the curve when it comes to purchasing these popular costumes, especially if you’re buying for the whole family. If you’re looking for a costume for yourself, the kids or a furry friend — or maybe a group costume for all — there’s plenty of culturally relevant options everyone will love.

You can dress up as the typical witch or traditional ghost, sure — but why?

By Sian Hewitt 9 hours ago
Halloween is just around the corner, and already people are lining up what they will be dressing up as.
From the scary to the simply sublime, 2023 is set to see an array of spooktastic get-ups in all shapes and sizes.
Costumes have gone on sale and now experts have shared which they think the hottest trends will be for this year’s spooky season.
Fashion experts at boohoo have predicted this year’s hottest pop-culture-themed Halloween costumes inspired by the most memorable moments from 2023 so far.
But what will you dress as?
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR HER There’s always an array of costumes for the ladies who want to go all out and this year is no different, with boohoo also selling some of the outfits that they think will be most popular. Top of the list expected to be out and about this year are:
Barbie
With Barbie fever taking over the world, and girl power at an all-time high, it is expected that many will be dressing up as the classic toy.
And the beauty about this one? There are so many different types of Barbies — President Barbie, Cowgirl Barbie, Workout Barbie, Classic Barbie — that you can be anything you want, just like the official Barbie slogan.
Experts say the phrase ‘Barbie costume’ is currently receiving a huge average of 18,000 monthly Google searches worldwide, so expect to see a lot of these out and about this year.
Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid
<p>Ariel from The Little Mermaid is also set to be popular </p> Ariel from The Little Mermaid is also set to be popular / boohoo
One of the classic Disney favourites got a revamp this year and, as a result, it is expected that a lot of ladies will be dressing up to be their favourite underwater Disney princesses.
The live-action adaptation has already been popular, which has led to experts predicting a lot of mermaids on the street this Halloween.
They say the phrase ‘Ariel costume’ is currently receiving an average of 8,000 monthly searches worldwide, with many wanting to recreate Ariel’s signature look by pairing a purple seashell bikini top with a green mermaid tail skirt, seashell jewellery, and toy sidekick, Flounder.
Queen Charlotte from Bridgerton The Netflix series, a spin-off of favourite Bridgerton, had fans queuing up to bingewatch the classic love story pan out and, as a result, it is expected that a lot of Queens will be on show this scary season.
Think elegant ballgowns, extravagant jewellery, and stunning BIG hairstyles, as Queen Charlottes go on display.
M3GAN
Want more horror? Those wanting something a bit more in the Halloween spirit are expected to dress up as M3GAN — the terrifying and murderous doll that ruins lives.
Those wanting more of a trick, rather than a treat, costume can layer a beige dress over a striped long-sleeve top with white tights, along with ballet flats and M3GAN’s signature blue and red striped neckerchief or scarf.
boohoo’s fashion experts added: “Pair this with some round sunglasses to complete the look and don’t forget to learn some of M3GAN’s killer dance moves to impress your friends.”
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR HIM Let’s not forget the men in all of this. Halloween is a time for all and there are a whole host of male characters expected to be on show.
Ted Lasso
Mix football with a highly popular TV series, and you are onto a winner.
Fashion experts say they expect a large number of men to dress up as the country’s favourite manager, Ted Lasso, for Halloween.
boohoo said: “Jason Sudeikis’s character has a casual style that is easy to replicate using items you likely already own, consisting of a tracksuit, trainers, aviator sunglasses, and visor. Most importantly, you’ll need a fake moustache to match Ted’s most distinguishing feature, as well as a whistle and football to complete the look.”
Barbie That’s right, Barbie fever has not just hit the ladies. The men are expected to jump aboard Barbie’s famous pink car and join in with a variety of Ken and Alan costumes set to be on show.
boohoo said: “From Ken’s tie-dyed ‘I am Kenough’ hoodie to his signature denim vest, there are plenty of Ryan Gosling’s looks from the film to replicate. For a more unique costume, however, grab a pair of blue shorts and a multicoloured stripy shirt to dress as Michael Cera’s character from the film, Alan.”
Indiana Jones Always a favourite — the famous adventurer has always been a popular Halloween costume and 2023 is set to be no different.
The new Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny film has reignited interest in the classic 80s film, sparking 11,000 average monthly searches for ‘Indiana Jones costume’ worldwide.
FOR COUPLES Barbie and Ken
This Halloween’s most popular couples costume will undoubtedly be Barbie and Ken, based on Greta Gerwig’s hugely successful Barbie. Couples primarily have two iconic matching outfits from the film to choose from, either Barbie and Ken’s matching neon rollerblading outfits or their hot-pink cowboy costumes.
Mario and Princess Peach
Another popular couple costume this year is set to be be Mario and Princess Peach, thanks to The Super Mario Bros. Movie being released, much to the delight of children and adults alike.
The blockbuster film came out in spring and is a pretty easy outfit to put together for couples.
For Mario think blue overalls, a red hat, and long-sleeve top, as well as the famous moustache, and for Princess Peach you will need a pink dress, signature blonde hair, and tiara.

Source: www.cbr.com/barbie-little-mermaid-costumes-halloween/The Little Mermaid and Barbie Are This Year's Most Popular Halloween Costumes BY JEREMY **** PUBLISHED 5 DAYS AGO The Little Mermaid and Barbie costumes are reportedly flying off the shelves ahead of Halloween.
ArielBarbie
Expect to see lots of Ariels and Barbies walking around on Halloween this year.
Per TMZ, a representative for the costume sales website HalloweenCostumes.com revealed how this year's hottest sellers are costumes related to The Little Mermaid and Barbie. This follows the theatrical releases of Disney's live-action Little Mermaid remake and Mattel's Barbie movie. Word is that Barbie costumes in particular have especially risen in popularity, selling nine times as much as they did in 2022. Barbie-inspired costumes in general have also seen a rise to the tune of 40%. Ariel-style costumes have also gotten a 70% increase since last year, to the point where the website is concerned about keeping enough in stock.
Ariel and Barbie might be the most popular, but some of the other big sellers for costumes this year have been revealed. Music sensations Beyoncé and Taylor Swift costumes are on the rise ahead of each respective singer's new concert films coming to theaters this year. HalloweenCostumes.com even offers costume guides for fans to help achieve certain looks with a combination of different products on sale.
Ariel and Barbie Will Dominate Halloween Released in theaters in May, The Little Mermaid introduced Halle Bailey as a live-action incarnation of Ariel. The film surpassed $569 at the global box office before going on to make a big splash on streaming with its Disney+ arrival. Directed by Rob Marshall, the movie's cast also features Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Jonah Hauer-King as Eric, Javier Bardem as King Triton, Awkwafina as Scuttle, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, and Daveed Diggs as Sebastian. Spinoff and sequel possibilities have reportedly been discussed, and an animated children's series inspired by the live-action versions of Little Mermaid characters is also in development at Disney Junior.
Released in June alongside Oppenheimer, Barbie has also been an immense success, banking more than $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office. Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, respectively as Barbie and Ken, as the two leave behind their perfect lives in Barbie Land to see what life is like in the real world. In addition to its huge box office success, the film was widely acclaimed, and there's chatter of the movie becoming an Oscar darling.
The Little Mermaid remake is streaming on Disney+, while Barbie is still playing in theaters and is available on Digital.
