2024 pop culture costumes
Donald Trump or Kamala Harris
Voters have less than a week to choose their favorite presidential candidate in the toughest race the White House has seen in 60 years, according to CNN.
A blue suit and red tie is all it takes to complete the instantly recognizable Trump.
British pop artist Charli XCX was at the intersection of meme culture and politics this summer when her fanbase began creating Harris edits of songs from Charli XCX’s summer album “Brat” shortly before Harris won the Democratic nomination. Dressing in the iconic lime green symbolizing the “Brat” album or wearing a long black wig with shades may suffice for this costume.
Dodger or Yankee baseball player in honor of the MLB World Series
Halloween will fall in the middle of the World Series. If a Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Yankees jersey isn’t available to you, putting the logo on a jersey would suffice for this timely costume.
Las Vegas Sphere
Although the Sphere opened its doors in late 2023, this year it attracted attention for its unique designs and stimulating concerts. Any ball bearing will do for this costume.
Mu Deng
Baby hippo Mu Deng was born at a zoo in Thailand in July and quickly took the internet by storm in late summer with his erratic behavior and chubby cuteness. Although Halloween lovers can go all out for this costume, a gray dress or tracksuit and ears should be enough to achieve the Mu Deng look.
The most popular costumes in Reno
Popular Reno destination for all things costume, Junkee, told the Reno Gazette Journal that Beetlejuice and Alice in Wonderland themes are popular this year. Several customers have also purchased Dead Bride supplies and Day of the Dead costumes.
