A Skims Model

It feels like anyone who’s anyone has been posting pics online rocking Kim Kardashian‘s new Skims shapewear line. Just straighten your hair, pop on some Spanx, and carry your phone around like you’re about to take a selfie.

Riiise and Shiiine Kylie Jenner

The internet was ablaze when Kylie awkwardly sang “Rise and Shine” to her daughter Stormi. There are a few ways to do cop her look for Halloween, but it basically comes down to pinning come Chanel logos on a black dress or oversized sweatshirt, carrying a doll around and singing “riiise and shiiine!”

Shane Dawson

Shane Dawson is a huge YouTube star, especially with his Jeffree Star series. To be Shane for Halloween, just tape a pig on a black T-shirt, carry a makeup palette with you, and use words like “tea” and “the house” to drive the point home.

The Fiji Girl

All anyone could talk about after the 2019 Golden Globes was the girl in the blue dress looking fab in the background of ever celeb photo. To be the Fiji girl, just wear a blue dress and hold a tray of Fiji water. Easy, peasy!

“100 Percent That Bitch”

Lizzo has been around for a while, but her 2017 hit “Truth Hurts” really took off in 2019. In turn, the line “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that bitch” has become a meme all it’s own. All you really need to make this your costume is to dress awesome and pin a sign to your top that reads “I just took a DNA test turns out …”

Forky From ‘Toy Story’

The breakout character from Toy Story 4 is the perfect easy Halloween inspiration. Either tape sporks to your outfit, or simply glue red a wiggly red pipe cleaner to your forehead and a blue circle to your mouth. An “I’m Trash” sign definitely helps, too.

“Hot Girl Summer”

Meg Thee Stallion coined the term “Hot Girl Summer,” but all you really need to do to make this your costume is look fabulous and confident! Maybe carry around a construction paper sun on a stick to drive home the “summer” part.

Kombucha Girl

You know her and you love her! TikTokker Brittany Broski went viral when she tried kombucha for the first time and couldn’t make up her mind. To be her, just wear a black shirt, pull your hair back, carry around kombucha and seem confused all night.

“Sorry to This Man” Keke Palmer Meme

Keke Palmer launched a meme of her own when she had no idea who Dick Cheney was during an interview. “I hate to say it I hope I don’t sound ridiculous, but I don’t know who this man is,” she said solemnly. “I mean he could be walking down the street and I wouldn’t know a thing. Sorry to this man.” The last part has become a hilarious reaction gif, and all you need to do to copy it is wear big black earrings, a tight bun and a yellow blazer.

Pregnant Kylie Jenner

Kylie managed to hide her growing baby bump under huge clothes for a full nine months, and we’re still not over it. If you don’t have a massive shirt already, stop by a thrift shop and get one for a couple of dollars. Stuff a pillow underneath if you want to be ~extra hilarious.~

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

If you have a bold and colorful sense of style to begin with, this will be a breeze for you. Ellie Kemper‘s adorable character rocks pink pants, a floral top, and a bright yellow sweater (sometimes tied around her waist). Extra points if you throw on a backpack too (which means extra room for booze and snacks!)

Duck Dynasty

If you're a guy with a beard, all you need is a camo or flannel shirt, jeans, and a bandana to be one of the Duck Dynasty dudes. If not, just stop by a costume store for a fake beard and you're good to go!

Kim Kardashian’s Contour

Kim K's Instagram has been chock full of contour tutorials ever since her KKW beauty line came out. Just do big, overlined lips, crazy lashes, and dramatic contour lines. Basically, only half do your makeup and wear a body-con dress.

Arthur The Aardvark

Yes, another meme. Just wear glasses, red shoes, jeans, and a yellow sweater. Clench your fist all night for extra internet points.

Kylie Lip Kit

Can you tell we're big Kylie fans? You can wear basically anything for this look, it's all about the makeup. Just mimic the packaging to make your lipstick dribble down your mouth, and do swatches up your arms.

A Snapchat/Instagram Filter

Literally just pick any Snapchat or Instagram filter and paint it onto your face. Some of them could use extra accessories like animal ears, but others (like the puking rainbows) only need makeup and whatever outfit you want. But make sure to use a primer and setting spray or it’ll drip the second you start sweating!

Mary Poppins

Mary has so many different outfits, but the easiest is a black skirt and blazer (which most of us already have) and a red bow tie. You can add a hat, bag, or umbrella if you want a prop!

Jim From ‘The Office’ as ‘Dave’

This one’s fun because it’s super easy and only The Office fans will get it. Remember when Jim wore a “Dave” costume, just by wearing a sticker that said Dave? Yeah, just wear a button-down and tie and do that.

Your Emo/Scene Kid/Punk/Metal Phase

Just copy your over-dramatic, awkward, moody makeup and hair from high school and wear your blackest clothes. Plus, a studded belt or safety pins can be a fun touch.

Frida Kahlo

Finally, another use for that flower crown you bought for Coachella! Pin your hair up in a braided crown, add the flowers, and draw on a uni-brow. Pick out any colorful dress you own and you're good to go!

Girl Scouts

If you're like us, then you probably have a memory box full of your old Girl Scout sashes and vests. Or maybe we were just nerds, whatever. If you do happen to have one, just wear a skirt and white top, and throw the vest over it. Add pigtails for a cute, girly vibe.

A Slumber Party

If you're going out with a group of friends, think about being a "slumber party!" Everyone just wears their fun jammies and slippers, and have each person carry something like a teddy bear, pillow, or candy! You can do the same thing with a pool party.

Princess Leia

We’re sure plenty of people will honor the late Carrie Fisher with costumes, but you don’t have to go for a dramatic look. Just do the cinnamon buns on the sides of your head and wear a white dress or sweater. People will get the idea, we promise.

Where’s Waldo?

All you need is a striped shirt, glasses and beanie. Even if you don’t own this, you’ll find them at any store, and you can wear the pieces again separately (or together if that’s your thing).

Wednesday Addams

Again, just rock all black, and wear pigtail braids. It might be a little overdone, but whatever it's cute and easy with no shopping necessary.

Pig in a Blanket

Not that kind! Just buy or make pig ears and a snout and wear a blankie over your shoulders. Cute and comfy!

Rosie The Riveter

If you have a denim shirt and a bandana, then all you need is a red lip and some attitude! This look is fun, easy, and instantly recognizable for people who don't like being asked "What are you supposed to be?" all night.
