What is the most trending Halloween costume?

Usually the trendiest Halloween costumes each year depend on the biggest movie release of the year!

For example, in 2023 and 2024, Barbie costumes were some of the most popular! In 2025, it might be Wicked.

But there are tons of other classic Halloween costumes that will never go out of style. For example, you can dress up as the Little Mermaid or a Disney princess and put a sexy spin on it with a corset or gorgeous crop top!

In this post, I’ll give you tons of ideas of the most trending Halloween costumes.
