Top Halloween Costume Ideas for 2015
Today reports each year, Halloween costume trends are inspired by popular films and hot topics in pop culture. This year, the popularity of "The Minions" movie and upcoming "Star Wars" films have put these costumes at the top of the list.
"Around Halloween, we've historically seen a nod to superheroes and pop culture moments," Zoher Karu, eBay's vice president of customer optimization and data, told Today. "With the upcoming Star Wars films, it was no surprise that we'll see lots of Han Solos out on Halloween."
According to eBay via Today, "Star Wars" is the second most popular Halloween costume for children and "Minions" ranks in at number six. Other Halloween costumes with high rankings are Mario and Luigi, Batman, "Frozen," and Power Rangers.
The top adult costume that has also been popular for 11 years in a row is the traditional witch costume. Over 4.3 million adults will be witches for Halloween while 1.4 million adults will wear costumes of their favorite "Star Wars" character, according to a recent NRF survey.
In addition to the NRF survey, BuzzFeed has compiled a list of top Halloween makeup trends and costumes that have become popular this year.
The viral dress that became popular on social media earlier this year for its ability to seemingly change color is available as a Halloween costume on yandy.com, according to BuzzFeed. The dress costume retails at $46.95.
Cosmopolitan describes Yandy's "The Dress" costume as a "sexy take" on the social media phenomenon that had users debating over whether the outfit was white and gold or blue and black.
