00:00 I am wearing Princess Peach's suit, biker suit made by Christian Dior, which is kind
00:05 of crazy.
00:06 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the trendiest pop culture
00:11 inspired solo, couple and group costumes that are perfect for spooky season 2023.
00:17 We look great.
00:19 I love fringe.
00:20 I love denim.
00:21 Fuck!
00:22 Number 10.
00:24 Monkey D. Luffy - One Piece
00:26 In August 2023, Netflix premiered its live-action adaptation of the beloved anime One Piece,
00:32 proving that the platform could get it right.
00:34 You're a wanted man now.
00:37 That's exactly what I wanted.
00:41 Celebrate the series' success and Halloween by becoming the wildly ambitious and aspiring
00:45 king of the pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.
00:48 There's a slew of unique characters to emulate, but Luffy's outfit is one of the easiest to
00:52 throw together.
00:53 All you need is a red vest or coat, blue denim shorts, comfy sandals, and of course, the
00:59 straw hat.
01:00 Hey!
01:01 It's not cool.
01:02 Don't mess with my hat.
01:06 And don't forget his cheerful smile.
01:08 Better yet, go all out and assemble a straw hat crew of your own.
01:12 Number 9.
01:13 Indiana Jones - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
01:16 Fifteen years after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Harrison Ford
01:21 reprised his legendary role as the titular explorer in 2023's Indiana Jones and the Dial
01:27 of Destiny.
01:28 We're celebrating.
01:29 I'm retiring.
01:30 Oh.
01:31 Well, in that case, what are we drinking?
01:36 While the movie didn't do well at the box office, the new installment reignited our
01:40 love of indie.
01:41 To get his iconic look, find a brown leather jacket, fedora, and boots, alongside a beige
01:47 or tan shirt and pants, a satchel, and a whip.
01:50 His clothes go through varying levels of disarray, which gives you the chance to play up the
01:55 ruggedness.
01:56 You okay up there?
01:57 Yes.
01:58 You're not moving.
01:59 I'm thinking.
02:00 You'll find plenty of Indiana Jones costumes for sale, but if you're more into doing it
02:11 yourself, there are guides to help you gather all the pieces.
02:14 My questions about it were many.
02:17 Why am I wearing a leather jacket in the jungle?
02:21 Isn't it hot here?
02:23 Number 8.
02:24 Megan.
02:25 Megan.
02:26 There's no shortage of killer doll or robot costumes, but why not have the best of both
02:30 with Megan?
02:31 What are you?
02:32 I've been asking myself that same question.
02:35 The murderous AI made such an impression in movie trailers that she went viral before
02:39 her big screen debut in December 2022.
02:42 To become Megan, wear a pleated beige dress with a long-sleeved striped blue shirt underneath,
02:48 white tights, and a pair of Mary Janes, preferably black.
02:52 Tie it all together with a blonde wig and the must-have mostly navy blue silk scarf.
02:56 Experts say the preferred method is to give your child the choice.
03:00 It's called the division of responsibility.
03:02 You can also easily find a complete costume set online, and you'll probably want to learn
03:06 Megan's killer moves to slay on the dance floor, if you don't already.
03:16 Number 7.
03:17 Queen Charlotte.
03:18 Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton story.
03:20 Halloween isn't all about masquerading as scary monsters or horror slashers.
03:25 Channel your inner royal and dress up as the titular Queen Charlotte from Netflix's Bridgerton
03:29 spinoff.
03:41 In addition to exploring the 19th century timeline, the series goes back in time to
03:46 the mid-late 1700s, following a younger Charlotte.
03:49 And yes, she's incredibly fashionable at any age.
03:53 Given the artistry of elaborate gowns and jewels and towering hairstyles, you have a
04:06 big DIY project ahead of you.
04:08 A ball gown fit for the Georgian era and Marie Antoinette-style wig will get you started,
04:13 but prepare to bring out the scissors and glue for some bedazzling.
04:17 If you prefer the flowing empire waist dresses of the Regency era, opt for emulating Kate
04:21 Sharma or Daphne Bridgerton.
04:24 Number 6.
04:33 Spider-Man.
04:34 Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse.
04:36 Chances are you or someone you know has donned a Spider-Man costume before, but as 2023's
04:41 Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse made evident, there's more than one Spidey.
04:45 Actually, there's a lot of them.
04:58 Miles Morales' distinct costume has gained popularity since the 2018 animated film.
05:03 We're seeing more Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost Spider, too.
05:07 Now we also have the more casually costumed heroes like Jess Drew, aka Spider-Woman, and
05:12 fan-favorite Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk, in the mix.
05:17 Both are excellent choices, especially if you're not into spandex.
05:24 And if you prefer comfort, throw a pink robe over an old Spidey costume and bam, you're
05:29 Peter B. Parker.
05:31 All the better if you have a little Mayday to hang around with you.
05:38 Number 5.
05:39 Ariel, The Little Mermaid.
05:49 Most of us have dressed up as a Disney character or two at some point, and the princesses are
05:53 probably the most popular choices.
05:55 2023 isn't the first year you'll see fans of The Little Mermaid wearing Ariel costumes,
06:00 but it is the first time since Halle Bailey starred as the Disney princess in the live-action
06:05 adaptation.
06:14 Bailey's costume is noticeably different from the animated Ariel, as she opts for an iridescent
06:19 bralette instead of the classic seashell bra, which is likely more comfortable.
06:24 When it comes to makeup, both versions of Ariel keep it simple, even in their above-the-sea
06:29 looks.
06:30 However, Halloween is the best time to go full Mermaidcore with makeup and accessories.
06:35 And if you're feeling really ambitious, you could give Ursula a try.
06:49 Number 4.
06:50 Taylor Swift, Eras Tour.
06:58 Swifties worldwide have been following the cultural phenomenon that is the Eras Tour
07:02 since it kicked off in March 2023.
07:04 There's lots to admire, including the fashion statements.
07:08 Throughout the concert's eras, Swift pays homage to some of her past looks and albums
07:12 in a variety of beautiful bodysuits, dresses, ball gowns, and two-piece ensembles.
07:18 Which one you choose to wear on Halloween depends on how much effort and money you're
07:22 willing to spend.
07:30 The easiest, most affordable options would be the 22 music video, white tee, and black
07:34 sequin shorts combo from the Red Era.
07:36 But if you want a challenge, try recreating Reputation's edgy one-sleeve, one-leg jumpsuit
07:42 with embellished sequin snakes.
07:44 No matter the era you pick, you're sure to turn heads.
07:53 Number 3.
07:54 Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach, the Super Mario Bros. movie.
07:58 Here's yet another costume, or costumes, making a comeback this Halloween.
08:03 The 2023 The Super Mario Bros. movie features more than these iconic Nintendo characters
08:08 for costume inspiration, but you can't go wrong with this trio.
08:16 Mario and Luigi are super easy with their overalls, color-coded shirts and hats, white
08:21 gloves, and mustaches.
08:22 We're used to seeing Princess Peach in her pink dress and crown, but the movie also showcased
08:27 an awesome pink and white moto outfit that even Anya Taylor-Joy was dying to replicate
08:32 on the red carpet.
08:35 It's a versatile group get-up for friends as well as families, though don't rule out
08:45 hitting the Rainbow Road solo.
08:48 And okay, we guess Bowser would be a cool costume too.
08:56 Number 2.
08:57 Wednesday Addams, Wednesday.
08:59 This year is the first Halloween since Netflix dropped their hit series Wednesday in November
09:04 2022, so you're guaranteed to see many a Wednesday Addams, likely with Thing on their shoulder.
09:19 Over the years, a white collared black dress and braided pigtails became a solid last-minute
09:24 costume.
09:25 So dress Jenna Ortega's Wednesday in an array of goth glam outfits, ranging from casual
09:31 sleuthing wear to the jaw-dropping raven dance dress.
09:45 It's also not hard to find the instantly recognizable Nevermore Academy uniform, so you could be
09:50 whichever fur, fang, scales, or stoner you want.
09:54 But if you want to add some color, grab the Enid to your Wednesday and rock their Poe
09:58 Cup catsuits.
10:00 Just remember the bubbly werewolf's get-up has pink stitching.
10:08 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:12 Mabel Mora, only murders in the building.
10:15 She has impeccable style and perhaps no outfit is more iconic than her yellow faux fur and
10:20 red beets combo.
10:25 Haley and Justin Bieber, various.
10:28 Find a partner to be the sleek and glam supermodel to your disheveled baddie, or vice versa.
10:47 Ariana Madix's Season 10 reunion outfit.
10:50 Vanderpump rules.
10:51 Seek your own revenge in a red-hot, skin-bearing skirt and jacket ensemble.
11:05 Rihanna, Super Bowl LII.
11:07 Her layered crimson outfit is a perfect choice for a chilly Halloween.
11:11 Baby bump optional.
11:20 Beyonce, Renaissance World Tour.
11:22 Replicate Queen B's metallic silver bodysuit for a futuristic and fabulous look.

11:52 Barbie and Ken, Barbie.
11:54 Summer 2023 may have been all about Barbie, but we expect Barbie Mania to continue this
12:00 Halloween with a slew of Barbies and Kens, and even Allens.
12:10 The most popular will likely be Barbie and Ken's cowboy outfits and neon rollerblading
12:14 getups from the real world, but there's notably their Barbie-land beach wear and disco ensembles
12:19 to choose from, too.
12:27 You could also go bold and rock Ken's Fojo Mojo mink with all the ridiculous accessories,
12:33 or get a group of fellow Kens to don the "I'm Just Ken" dance battle outfits.
12:38 There's also the pink boiler suits from the Barbie-land takeover, the glorious Marvel
12:42 that is Weird Barbies look, and much more.
12:45 Don't get overwhelmed by the options.
