10 Trendiest Pop Culture Costumes of 2012
Sure, you can go the store bought route and be a sexy kitten again this Halloween (yawnnn), but why not shake it up by taking costume cues from this year’s biggest pop culture crazes and phases? From viral videos to reality show stars, hit songs to funny flicks, there’s plenty of inspiration floating around for you to pull from this Halloween. Gather four of your best gal pals and break out those bedazzled leos as the Fierce Five, get a little kinky with your beau in bondage as Fifty Shades of Grey couple Ana and Christian, or wear a whole lot less in a painted nod to Gotye’s summer smash “Somebody That I Used to Know”—whatever you choose, these 10 trendy options will definitely nab you that coveted “Best Costume” award at your Halloween bash!

Gangnam Style
You may not know any of the actual words, but you definitely know those moves. K-Pop star PSY hit US soil this fall with his infectious dance hit “Gangnam Style” and the pony-riding moves he hilariously showcased in the music video. The video went viral worldwide, attracting a whopping 470 million views and celeb approval from Katy Perry, Britney Spears and even Tom Cruise. Wanna do it Gangnam style this Halloween? The key PSY accoutrements are a black-trimmed powder blue tuxedo jacket, black bow-tie, black and white Saddle Oxfords ($19.99 on payless.com), black and gold wayfarers and a whole lot of swagger. Start practicing those pony moves now—you may not have the fellas calling “heyyyy, sexy lady!” after ya in this costume, but you’ll definitely be the hit of your Halloween party!

Post a CommentI like the 6 idea honey boo boo
I like the Fierce Five and Gotye ideas.
These costumes make me want to sport one of those old school plastic costumes you wore as a kid with the mask you wore on top of your head more than on your face because you actually liked to breathe!!!
haha nice
nice
What about the Girl on Fire??
I agree these are some sad costumes, is this really the best that 2012 had to offer.
Not feeling these at all. I am tired of hearing about Kim and Kayne and I wouldn’t dress my little ones as honey booboo.
Kimye and Honey Boo Boo are cute, but my favorite is The Fierce Five, very inspirational.
Heh heh, Kimye. Cute.
Body paint is about as warm as going naked. Don’t any costumes have ideas with lots of layers?
Dressing up like Fifty Shades of Gray is the same as dressing like a pimp and prostitute, just more literary.
How does one go as a naked royal in chilly weather?
I think I want my husband to go all gangnam style.
