Halloween may be scary, but nothing is scarier than realising you haven’t got round to sorting an outfit. Whilst we all promise ourselves that we’ll have our costumes planned by the new year, having to rummage through your whole wardrobe to find something that remotely resembles a Halloween costume is a canon event for every King’s student.
Perhaps you’re looking for something other than that leopard print top and cat ears that you recycle on a yearly basis, or you’re just wanting to get all the praise for being original for once. Whatever you want to create, whether it be a group costume or solo number, I’ve got you covered with these highly trendy costumes that will make you stand out from the crowd.

Ah yes, something to get you reminiscing your 2024 lads holiday. To really get the vibes going, feel free to annoy everyone within a 10 metre radius of you by playing Ibiza trance classics on your JBL speaker all night long. For the more dedicated, go for what I like to call the ultimate final boss and get the actual haircut. After all, it’s nothing that your barber can’t fix the next day.
Add in the blinding gold chain, a black t-shirt that is two sizes too small, along with some questionable dance moves, and you’re good to go.
The performative male
@ilonamorena this was the funniest thing ever literally made me laugh sm
Right, I may have outdone myself with this one as you don’t even need a costume for this option, just go as yourself. Wear some baggy jeans paired with your sister’s A Level English literature Christina Rosetti Complete Poems book, conveniently sticking out of your back jean pocket, paired with a thorough knowledge of Taylor Swift’s entire discography that you learned the night before. Bonus points if you can quote specific sections of Goblin Market and link it back to feminism.
Pop girlies
The pop girlies are really having their moment right now and you can do the same. Instead of topping the music charts, you can top the Halloween costume charts and score a number one spot.
From Sabrina to Chappell to JADE to Charli XCX, you’re really spoiled for choice with this one, so feel free to pair your Spotify Wrapped to your Halloween costume.
The Louvre thieves
@gabhope_08 Just got back, keep it on the louvre #heist #lourve #diamonds #halloweencostume #funny
It’s fun, it’s original, and I can almost guarantee you no one else will be wearing it, so this costume is perfect for those looking to stand out from the crowd. You can level this up a notch by getting a third person to dress up as the missing jewels and make it their mission to avoid you the whole evening.
Claudia Winkelman
@helenalovestoktok My research was watching 3 eps of traitors @claudiawinkle #claudiawinkleman #traitors #halloween @LinusWoollard
What better way to celebrate Halloween than by dressing up as one of the UK’s most iconic presenters? All you need for this one is a fringe that cuts off your entire peripheral vision and a tan so deep that everyone thinks you’ve spent five weeks in the Maldives, and not five weeks in the fifty shades of grey of London.
Group costumes
The best way to unite (or divide) a flat. Two people will drop out, one person will never return their £10 contribution to the costume and everyone will end up bickering over who gets to be who.
My top picks for those attempting a group costume would be the Scooby Doo characters (spoiler alert: No one will want to be Scooby), London Stations and Disney Princesses. Some serious character building will go down and you’ll either grow closer as a group or never talk to each other again until move out day.
