Fancy following the trends?
Halloween is rapidly approaching and you better believe come the 31st we’ll see the same costumes again and again on our grid.
Ahead of the holiday, the most popular Halloween costumes in Ireland for 2022 have been revealed by eBay, so whether you want to follow the trends (or want to know what to avoid), take note.
1. Elvis
Baz Luhrmann’s biopic has ignited interest in the king of rock ‘n roll, so it’s unsurprising that Elvis is top of the list for this year.
2. Cassie and Maddy from Euphoria
There’s power in numbers, which is probably why the iconic twinning looks of Maddy and Cassie from Sam Levinson’s teen drama Euphoria trails just behind Elvis.
3. The Sanderson Sisters
The witches of Hocus Pocus are back, so don’t be surprised if you see a Sanderson Sister (or 10) while you’re out and about this Halloween.
4. Barbie
With details emerging of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film, hot pink is having a bit of a moment, and that translates to Halloween costumes as well. You can also expect plenty of Kens.
5. A member of the Targaryen family
HBO’s House of the Dragon has introduced us to a whole new batch of characters from the Game of Thrones universe, so don’t be surprised if blonde wigs feature heavily at your Halloween get together.
6. Eddie Munson
If you haven’t sensed it by now, these costumes are all entirely inspired by film or TV, so it’s no wonder that a character from one of 2022’s biggest TV shows – Stranger Things – is a popular choice.
7. Pete Maverick Mitchell
Tom Cruise reprised his Top Gun role this year in Maverick, so those seeking a “need for speed” this October will be decked out in jumpsuits, pilot jackets and aviators.
