2015's In-the-Moment Halloween Costume Trends and Giveaway

   By SheSpeaksTeam  Oct 14, 2015
304

Each year we are introduced to a host of very in-the-moment costumes. Who can forget the Sarah Palin costumes of 2008 or last year’s parade of Orange is the New Black character costumes? 2015 appears to be a good year for topical humor halloween costumes, many of which were born right here on the internet.

Read on and enter to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card for a bit of Halloween costume shopping!

If we’re talking about being on trend, we can’t really have a 2015 Halloween without a Donald Trump costume. And apparently, even the Donald can be transformed into a suggestive costume complete with shorty-shorts, a red tie, a tiny jacket, and a pair of complimentary panties for some reason?

If you're a Star Wars fan, the reboot of the movie this year brings renewed interest in the francise. Dress up like Yoda or Dearth Vader, or of course Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia and relive your youth.

At this point in 2015, you’ve probably become well acquainted with the ‘Pizza Rat” video that has gone viral on YouTube. (And if you haven’t, you should probably check it out right away). The video shows a New York subway rat heroically carrying a slice of pizza down some stairs. I know that doesn’t sound very sexy, but in true Halloween trend fashion costume designers have found a way to sex it up with a revealing rat dress featuring pizza pockets.

Mashable reports about ‘the dress’ costume that is making it’s way on Halloween goers this year. For just $46.95 you can start up the old debate at any Halloween party: “It’s white and gold!” Soon followed by a, “NO! IT’S BLUE AND BLACK!” The costume itself is a dress that is half white and gold and half blue and black. But apparently the actual dress is on sale if you want to be even more authentic to the dress debate.

I think the costume rat is not as obvious unless someone really remembers that news article about the pizza. But the blue dress/gold dress is pretty cool - that was everywhere!

I love (NOT) how a 4 year old and a 24 year old can wear the exact same costume and it be acceptable. Show some class and dignity and cover up. Disgusting.

I am disappointed that you chose all of your "in the moment" costumes to be sexy and inappropriate, particularly for young ladies. My children want to dress up as a taco, and one wants to be a banana.

The Princess Leia. Who doesn't want to be a fierce, strong woman!

I don't know what I'll be this year, but I am starting to see a lot of moms and children wearing matching clothes to imitate celebrities on social media, so I have a feeling that I will be seeing more of that!!

The costumes are fine. There are plenty of different costumes to suit different tastes. I'm going as a witch and my kids will be pink monster and green alien.

I don't care for the sexy costumes, Princess Leia isn't too bad, but my 5 year old will be a donut. :)

None of these are suitable for Michigan weather. The Star Wars one is the best, but why the shortened skirt? Don't we have any other choices besides sexy fill-in-the-blank? My daughter chose Princess Zelda this year. she wants to wear her armor and carry a sword. No short skirts or plunging necklines to be included.

Halloween needs to be more scary and less sex! I plan on being a dead doll....spooky not slutty.

I literally hate e dry one of these costume ideas! Whatever happened to vampires, zombies, and ghosts?! I like scary stuff! It's Halloween!!!

Halloween shouldn't be all sexy adult costumes. Heck even some of the childrens' costumes are too over the top! And I also don't really like the "political" costumes. I think Halloween should be for the favorite characters, heros, ghouls, ghosts, classic movie monsters, etc. Personally, we set up and run a community haunted house every year - for free. So we are always geared more toward classic Halloween and scary things.
