Best Halloween costume ideas for 2025
1. Huntr/x or the Saja Boys from Kpop Demon Hunters
If you read our Kpop Demon Hunters review, you’ll know this is one of our top picks for Halloween costume ideas this year. Show everyone how it’s done, done, done and gather your girlies! Pull up in your most fashionable demon hunter outfits, and mega bonus points from us if you put in the effort to craft their weapons. They’re a definite highlight.
For the guys, which of the five Saja Boys suits you best? Based on the outfits, we think Jinu would be the easiest to replicate, but channel your inner K-pop idol for this one and go with your heart. Be sure to warm up your vocal chords, because if you dress like them, you gotta perform like them. We don’t make the rules.
2. A performative male
@therookiesstore Performative male starter pack: fit from ROOKIES, matcha from HAUS. Full fit from ROOKIES and shoutout to HAUS for the matcha! #fyp #fypsg #PlacesToVisit #vintage #outfit
There’s nothing more haunting than the sight of a performative male. And it doesn’t take much to assemble this costume. The look starts with a tight shirt and a slouchy jacket. Shoes don’t matter, but you must pair them with high white socks. Once you put on your jorts or baggy jeans, you’re halfway there. To accessorise, grab the closest piece of female literature, a tote bag, and an iced matcha latte.
3. Dinosaurs in every form
Have you seen the number of dinosaur-themed activities popping up in Singapore recently? From the Science Centre Singapore’s biggest dinosaur exhibition to the Jurassic World: The Experience at Gardens by the Bay, we say it’s time to get your prehistoric pants on. Whether it’s an inflatable dinosaur costume, a simple mask, or horns, this is versatile and pretty easy to achieve. Plus, it makes an uber cute family costume option!
4. Labubu, but make it 24k gold

No, the Labubu craze hasn’t died down yet. That’s what makes these little monsters the perfect Halloween costume idea. Whether it’s for little ones or yourself, this idea suits those who don’t mind a little bit of mess. The brave ones are welcome to douse themselves in gold body paint and glitter to turn heads at any costume party. Or, you can’t go wrong with drawing the signature toothy grin across your face while wearing all the gold clothes from your closet.
5. The Squid Game crew
Those who bought the pink jumpsuits back in 2021 when Squid Game released its first season, you’re in luck! Thanks to season 3, it’s a completely valid costume to re-wear this year. The jumpsuits and masks are an easy, straightforward pick. But if you want to turn it up a notch and go fancy, how about dressing up as the VIP guests with fancy suits, dresses, and masks?
6. Kendrick Lamar and his Super Bowl posse
In case you forgot, one of the Super Bowl halftime shows happened earlier this year, and we’re still not over it. Witnessing Kendrick Lamar’s sharp diss live? Life-changing. This costume idea is also great for big groups who want something simple. Whoever goes as Kendrick absolutely needs sparkling bling, while backup dancers can put together fully red, white, or blue outfits to complete the look.
7. Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked

Social media has been abuzz with rumours that Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo may come to Singapore this year. Couple that with Wicked: For Good’s premiere in November, and the hype for Elphaba and Glinda costumes will definitely make a comeback. Whether it’s the modern rendition or the OG classic, we’ve got major love for these frenemies.
8. Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family
Thanks to Netflix’s second season of Wednesday, we’re obsessed with our favourite goth girl once again. This one’s a classic, so you can’t go wrong with it. Recreate the look with high-collared shirts or dresses, black tights and a subtle red smoky eye look that will have you covered. Oh, and don’t forget the braided pigtails.
So, which Halloween costume idea is calling your name?
