Every year at the end of October, the streets and social media feeds turn into a carnival of costumes. Aimee Yan gives you a few last minute Halloween outfit inspirations
F1
With the release of the F1 film this year and many fashion houses weaving racing motifs into their collections, it’s no surprise that the motorsport aesthetic has sped into Halloween. Think fitted jumpsuits, zip details, and red-and-black racing stripes. Pair with a leather jacket or ankle boots for a sleek finish, a perfect choice for those who favour androgynous, streamlined styles.
Fantastic Four
The Fantastic Four’s retro blue bodysuits are back in vogue, especially for group costumes. Update the look with sporty or streetwear elements that reimagining the classic superheroes with a contemporary twist. It’s nostalgic yet humorous. Read our #review of the latest Fantastic Four movie here.
KPop Demon Hunters
For a bolder and more dramatic Halloween look, the KPop Demon Hunter trend is this year’s breakout hit. Inspired by girl-group stage outfits, it combines leather, corsets, metal chains, and knee-high boots, exuding the aura of a futuristic warrior. The contrast of sweet make-up against dark, structured silhouettes creates a powerful modern statement. Read our #review of KPop Demon Hunters here.
Lilo & Stitch
For those leaning towards something fun, Lilo & Stitch offers a light-hearted duo option. Denim overalls, floral shirts, and playful hair accessories easily recreate this childhood classic. Perfect for friends or couples seeking a carefree, cheerful look. Read our #review of the live action Lilo & Stitch here.
Squid Game
The red guards’ uniforms and green tracksuits from Squid Game have become Halloween icons in recent years. Their appeal lies in anonymity and role reversal and anyone can don the jumpsuit and geometric mask, instantly becoming part of the collective. A perfect group or party option with minimal effort and maximum recognition. Read out #review of Squid Game season 2 and season 3 here.
Superman
Few characters embody the eternal costume archetype quite like Superman. The red-and-blue bodysuit, cape, and iconic “S” emblem form the classic look. For a modern twist, opt for an office version: a blue shirt, half-open blazer, and the logo tee peeking through, effortlessly transforming you into the man of steel, mid-identity reveal.

The Devil Wears Prada
The Devil Wears Prada isn’t just a film, it’s a timeless Halloween persona. With the sequel in production, it remains a top pick. The essence lies not in theatrical costuming, but in attitude. Go for a sharply tailored suit, sunglasses, heels, and a copy of runway magazine in hand. A red lip and a perfectly arched brow instantly transform you into Miranda Priestly — or perhaps an evolved, modern-day Andrea Sachs.
Wednesday
Wednesday remains one of the most popular inspirations this year. Sparked by Jenna Ortega’s gothic schoolgirl aesthetic, the dark academia look has become synonymous with Halloween. Black and white is the key: a high-neck blouse, short dress, and chunky Mary Janes. Peep our rundown of Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday press tour style.
When Life Gives You Tangerines
Inspired by the Korean drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, this look celebrates warmth and retro charm. Think red-toned suits, nostalgic Korean high school uniform. Cosplay Ae-sun and Gwan-sik to give some warm this Halloween.
