Explained simply
Halloween is marked on 31 October, when people dress up as fictional characters, famous figures or original creations. In the United States, celebrities’ costumes often attract attention through social media and entertainment coverage, and fans may copy or adapt the looks.
Costumes based on musicians, films and television draw on references audiences may recognise, such as a performance, character or music video. Family and group outfits can recreate a shared scene or theme, while dressing as a relative is a more personal take on the tradition.
The looks reflect which parts of popular culture are familiar and influential at the time. They also show how Halloween costumes can be both a form of personal expression and a source of ideas for others.
