Halloween is just around the corner and, in anticipation of the inevitable last-minute dash to one of Auckland's best costume shops, madly searching for something other than a witch or a slutty nurse, we’ve cast our minds back over the year that was and come up with 51 Halloween costumes people will be wearing this year.
- Any of the Kardashians – Don’t fight it.
- Blake, Ryan and baby James – Get two ridiculously good-looking people with ridiculously good hair, and a ridiculously good-looking baby and you’re set.
- Ron & Tammy Swanson – It’s the end of an era and it would be remiss of us not to celebrate the GREATEST COUPLE OF ALL TIME. There, we said it.
- Don Draper – Predicting there will be lots of Dons this year, and if nothing else, it just makes drinking in the morning totally acceptable.
- Cookie from Empire – Cause when else can you drag out the old mink and just start taking bitches down?
- Charlize Theron in Mad Max – Yes, we’re sure the character has a name, but we don’t remember it. Get a crew cut and be done with it.
- One of the dinosaurs from Jurassic World – We’ll chase Chris Pratt any day.
- Donald Trump – Head to the salon for their best deep orange hue and a slick comb-over.
- Tony Abbott – Another popular pick, we reckon. Cue Australia selling out of budgie smugglers on October 30.
- Homeless Tony Abbott – A much better version of #9. Come on, put some effort in, people.
- Malcolm Turnbull – Get some wads of cash and a glorious silverfox-esque wig and start perfecting your smug swagger.
- Sadness, from Inside Out – Whack on some blue body paint and keep that frown upside down.
- Sam & Parmigiana – Grab the nearest goofy-grinned male to accompany you while you dress yourself up like the most delicious of all the pub grubs.
- Sam Frost – Frosty’s got the heart of the nation at the moment, so whack on a red sparkly number and grab 12 brawny blokes, and we guarantee you’ll be up for best on ground.
- Kermit & Miss Piggy – They’re no longer together, but their love lives on.
- Ben Affleck’s nanny – Nope. Love is dead.
- George & Amal – Invest in some dad jeans and palazzo pants and you’ve basically nailed it.
- Hillary Clinton – Get those shoulder pads out of mothballs.
- Blake Garvey– But only if you want to be egged.
- Someone from Game of Thrones – Is anyone even still alive? Whatever, whack a dragon on your shoulder, braid your hair and be done with it. (I don’t watch this show).
- A jar of Nutella – Carry around a bag of plastic spoons and pass them to people without speaking. The ultimate pick-up line.
- Taylor Swift – Bonus points if you can recreate her #squad. Or all of her ex boyfriends.
- The Pope – So hot right now.
- Kate & Wills – Plus bonus points for the mini Prince and Princess.
- Amy Schumer in her sexy Star Wars getup for GQ – Cue much inappropriate light saber use.
- OITNB – Because everyone* looks good in orange. (And if you don’t know what that acronym stands for, put down that book and go spend some quality time with Netflix).
- Magic Mike – But only if you’re Channing Tatum, for reals.
- Christian Grey – After he lost his fortune and moved into a caravan.
- Netflix watcher – Your normal attire + wine + [insert embarrassing snack here].
- Gwyneth & Chris - G walks around with a jar of Soy Mayo, C looks scruffy. They avoid each other all night but make it obvious.
- Lucille Ball – It’s been announced that Cate Blanchett is playing her, and if that’s not enough of a reason to don a red wig and a hoop skirt, I don’t know what is.
- McDreamy – Let’s pay our respects.
- (Better Call) Saul – Comb-over, cinnabon, and VHS. Air of lost dreams and regret.
- Claire Underwood – Get working on that cool, calm and collected thing (oh, and start shredding).
- Kimmy Schmidt – Pink pants, for the win.
- Turtle – The only good thing about the Entourage movie.
- Someone from True Detective Season 2 – if you managed to stay awake while watching it.
- Miley Cyrus – free the nipple.
- Pregnant Jen Aniston – Because it’s never going to happen any other way.
- Emma Watson – Or just go as Hermione, whatever.
- Michelle Obama – Bare those biceps.
- Cher Horowitz – Clueless is 20 years old and we still don’t have those virtual closets?
- A cruffin/cronut/donut – Or just eat some and spend Halloween on the couch.
- Female Ghostbusters – “When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!”
- To Kill A Mockingbird – Celebrate Atticus Finch before he was ruined forever.
- Apple Watch – So you can look like as much of a wanker as the people who are wearing them un-ironically (everyone).
- Original Annie – because the new one was blasphemous.
- An emoji – Choose wisely. [:simple_smile:]
- Olaf – We just can’t let it go… (sorry).
- YoGo Gorilla. Like he won’t be the life of the party.
- A parking warden . Prepare to be kicked in the balls by everyone at the party...
* No one.
