23 2023 Halloween costume ideas from TV shows

Tired of the same handful of Halloween costumes that have been around for what seems like forever?

However, those looking to pull from pop culture a little more current will want to check out these 2023 Halloween costumes from recent TV shows that were small-screen favorites.

'The Boys'

Amazon Prime Video

There are a variety of ways to go with The Boys . A Billy Joel tee and some jeans, Hughie costume, done. Switch Billy Joel for a hip-hop artist, and that's M.M. Butcher would be a trench coat and boots. All of those can be done by going to a local thrift store, or those who want to go the extra mile can construct and sew something that makes them look like one of the Seven.

Some costumes can be obscure, and that’s what you’ll be if you decide to rock some skinny jeans, sunglasses, and booties to be Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale from Poker Face. Oh, don’t forget the big hair, cigarette prop, and, if you can grasp her signature voice, even better.

The coolest part about Kamala Khan is that her costume has so many evolutions throughout the series that if one person had a few parties to attend during the Halloween season, they could try and create all of them and never repeat.
