Halloween costume ideas in 2025 – from Taylor Swift’s showgirl vibe to KPop Demon Hunters

With Halloween just around the corner, we’ve compiled the trendiest costumes to keep an eye on this season, as inspired by the biggest shows, celebrities and pop culture moments this year. From K-pop girl group-inspired costumes for you and your best friends (Huntrix from KPop Demon Hunters, obviously!) to pink and green ensembles inspired by the Land of Oz in Wicked, we’ve got you covered.

When it comes to putting together a Halloween-worthy costume that still looks cool, chic and fashionable, you can’t really go wrong with glitter and glam. And with Taylor Swift’s latest album The Life of a Showgirl doing the rounds on Spotify and other streaming services, you have the perfect soundtrack as inspiration too.

While Swift donned custom crystal-embellished looks by Area and The Blonds for her album cover shoot, and fellow showgirl Sabrina Carpenter has some pretty impressive leg-baring looks of her own too, you don’t have to have a celebrity’s wardrobe to recreate the look at home.

With the second instalment of Wicked hitting the silver screen next month, there’s no better time than now to try your hand at some witchcraft. Actresses Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo fully leaned into method dressing with looks inspired by their respective characters, Glinda and Elphaba, as they promoted the first film, wearing brands like Louis Vuitton, Loewe and many more.
