Yes, we’re already talking about Halloween. And yes, that means we’re already planning our next-best costume for 2023.

You can dress up as the typical witch or traditional ghost, sure — but why? Each year, we’re mesmerized by what’s trending in pop culture (side note: last year’s “Squid Game” costumes were second to none).

Now, it’s time to unveil what has been trending in entertainment, social media and elsewhere to draw costume inspiration from.

Alongside the pretty-in-pink outfits, you’ll see below, you’ll also find a dash of “Bridgerton,” a sprinkle of Mario Bros. — another movie theater hit — and much more to make this year’s costume a hit at any party.

While you’re shopping, be sure to check out our guide to the best Amazon home products to begin decorating your home for the fall season — perhaps with pumpkin spice and all things nice.

1. Barbie or Ken from the “Barbie” movie

3. Taylor Swift “The Eras Tour”

Whether or not you’ve headed to The Eras Tour this year, gathering your best gals and dressing up as each era is a very sharp nod to 2023. Dish out the cowgirl boots, sequins and friendship bracelets — Halloween isn’t ready for this one once you’re all dressed to the nines.

4. Carmy from “The Bear”

If you’re a fan of the comedy drama series “The Bear,” then you’ll certainly want to dress up as Carmy. Not to mention, it’s a pop culture Halloween costume that requires fairly minimal effort: a white T-shirt, a blue apron and your most comfortable shoes will suffice. Better yet, it’s a good excuse to pick up a new pan to use as a prop, doubling as your next piece of cookware.

Oh, and if you’re concerned many people may not know who you’re dressed up as, simply grab a piece of printer paper and a Sharpie to write “Carmy” as a name tag. Done, and done.

8. Daphne Bridgerton from “Bridgerton”

When we think of Halloween, we think of dress-up. And, when we think of dress-up, it’s hard not to think of the regal-leaning gowns from “Bridgerton” — the royal drama series that has everyone glossing over its antiquated glam looks.
