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

By SheSpeaksTeam Oct 14, 2015

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 like some of the costumes, but others have me a little bit worried. I don't think I'm ready for sexy Donald Trump. I don't even think I'm ready for plain ole Donald Trump! I do not have a costume picked out, but I do have a wizard hat lying around, so I guess I could do something with that.

My grand daughter will be Selena Gomez this yr. Not sure about myself tho. Speaking of showing too much in some costumes. One yr a girl my daughter knew '?' dressed as a 'Slutty Nurse' A bunch of people went to this bar '?' in Tehatchapi a mountain community. She said they had to climb some stairs & it had a big porch that her & some friends were standing around & talking on. Somehow the Slutty Nurse fell backwards & landed in a big bush. She said all U could see was 2 legs sticking up in the air. LOL I say, she wanted to show some skin & ended up showing a whole lot more. lol

I don't think every headlining story from this year needs to be made into a costume, but I do like the gold/blue dress, I saw white and gold btw

This year's costumes are just the same as the last. I get that at a Halloween party you attended, you definitely want to stand out. All costumes try to out sexy one another and they all look the same. I'm not dressing up this year but my 6 yr old boy is a SWAT officer and my 9 month old is a fairy princess

It is hard to find a normal costume for a kid that isn't a cartoon character!

Some of these are crazy! The pizza rat is hilarious! I like the blue/white dress. I plan to be Minnie Mouse this year. I love to be cartoon characters.

I like the idea of the Trump costume but not sure why it has to be a sexy Trump - Donald is not!! My family will be going as Minions this year.

Pizza Rat costume with grey velour fuzzy leggings underneath instead of short dress. A rat does not need to be sexy.

I think some of the new costumes include a Donald Trump (hair), a doctor's costume (Ben Carson), the walking dead zombie costume, astronaut costume and perhaps President Obama. I don't have my costume picked out yet, but I am doing dawn of the dead.... Halloween is my actual birthday so if I am going to dress up it got to be funky!

I like the play on social media hits. I would love to be the pizza mouse, but i rather be scary than cute.
