Chappell Roan, Lana del Rey and Beetlejuice among 2024 Halloween costumes – Irvine Times

With Halloween taking place on a Thursday this year, people across the UK have been sharing pictures of their efforts online in the run-up to the 31st.

Popular themes this year’s spooky season include pop sensation Chappell Roan and the new Beetlejuice movie.

David Roskin, 29, from London, and his friend Faye dressed up as the popular Tim Burton character and the Good Luck Babe singer for a party at the weekend.

“Beetlejuice feels like a big one for this year, and with Beetlejuice being one of the first unnecessary-decades-later sequels to actually (mostly) live up to the first one, it was the obvious choice for me this time around,” , the journalist told the PA agency.

Wearing Beetlejuice’s signature black and white striped suit, green wig and white face paint, Mr Roskin shared pictures of his costume on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption: ‘The Ghost with the most! The juice is free!”.

Meanwhile, his friend Fey used Chappell Roan’s performance at the VMAs as the inspiration behind her costume, wearing silver armor she made herself.

Nina, a 21-year-old law student in Liverpool, used Lana Del Rey’s recent marriage to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufresne as inspiration for her costume.

“The inspiration was obviously Lana, I love her music and I think she’s funny, she’s especially funny and it’s on brand for her to randomly marry a tour guide in an alligator swamp,” Nina told PA.

Nina, who said her suit cost less than £15, is pictured wearing a white boho wedding outfit with a soft alligator toy attached to her chest, finished off with a wedding veil.

Eric Graca from Glasgow went for a less current look for his Diana-inspired costume.

Mr. Graca recreated the iconic image of the late princess running around wearing a Harvard sweater and cycling shorts in the 1990s.

“My mum was a huge fan of Princess Diana and I remember when she died even though I was only five,” the 32-year-old health administrator told PA.

“It seemed like a fun way to celebrate who she is and have a fun Halloween costume.”
