We all love the moment in Coming To America when Lisa peels back her pink veil and reveals she is the woman wearing the dress. This official Coming To America movie costume serves royalty in a pretty pink package. Get your king in this polyester gown.

4. 'The Little Mermaid' Costume
Disney’s live-action remake of the beloved classic The Little Mermaid inspired fans of all ages to dress up like the fictional character for Halloween. This sexy three-piece set is for the mermaid who comes alive in the nighttime.
5. Rollerskate Barbie
Barbie’s colorful rollerskating look is a popular costume this year. Go for a pretend skate in this five-piece set that feels like a cross between Barbie and Kanye West’s workout plan. We love a multifunctional costume, save the leotard and biker shorts for another occasion.
6. Dionne "Clueless" Halloween Costume
Stacey Dash’s Dionne character straight out of the beloved classic “Clueless” is a pop culture fixture and Halloween costume favorite for the “it” fashion girl who doesn’t do Halloween unless she’s doing Halloween.
7. Kim Kardashian Marilyn Monroe Met Gala Costume
Kim Kardashian spent 14 hours dying her hair to achieve Marilyn Monroe’s signature platinum blonde tresses and lost 16 pounds to fit into her “Mr. President” Bob Mackie dress. We guess it was all worth if because the look is one of 2023’s top Halloween costumes.
8. Wednesday Addams
Wednesday Addams was onto something in this little black dress that works for every day. Paired with braided pigtails, you’ll be serving a stylish Halloween look while repurposing the LBD (sans the accoutrement) for another day.
9. Britney Spears Halloween Costume
It’s Britney, b*tch! Britney Spears’ iconic VMAs performance of her fan-favorite “Slave 4 U,” is a newcomer this Halloween, but oh so trendy! With Britney Spears on Instagram, she keeps up captivated and keeps herself trending with her dance moves. Snake not included.
10. 'Renaissance World Tour' Halloween Costume
Oh, you didn’t know? Beyoncé invented metallic. After requesting her Renaissance World Tour attendees wear silver to celebrate Virgo season, searches for all things shiny skyrocketed. Channel the Beyhive in this metallic jumpsuit.
11. Clover Cheerleader Halloween Costume
Gabrielle Union fiercely portrayed the cheer captain of the East Compton Clovers in the high-flying cult classic Bring It On, and it became a go-to costume for Black women who love to show their eternal youth.
12. Wednesday Addams Halloween Costume
Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams added her fashion flare to the creepy Addams Family character. With a modern pin-stripe design, Wednesday got an upgrade and Halloween gained a new favorite costume. With Y2K style trending, reimagine the skirt with an oversized blazer and high socks for a later fall day.
13. Chucky Child's Play Halloween Costume
This costume isn’t for child’s play. Who knew Chucky would have such a big year with the introduction of the TV series that made killer doll lovers rejoice? Slay Halloween, literally, in this slashingly good look. Pair with nude opaque tights or leggings underneath the bodysuit to add some coverage.
14. Lydia Deetz Costume
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! Winona Ryder’s portrayal of the cult classic character Lydia Deetz had women, everywhere, wanting to trick or treat in this pop culture-inspired costume while serving spooky glam at the same time.
15. Pennywise Costume
Diddy may have the Pennywise costume on lock, with his viral portrayal of the It character a few Halloween’s ago, but this costume is never going out of style. Take your costume to the next level with white face paint and killer eye shadow.
