At a certain point in the year, people begin to think about their Halloween plans. Ideas for Halloween costumes might pop up at any time during the year, especially when something goes viral or a new meme emerges. Halloween costumes are meant to be creative and fun, and turning a meme into a costume can be a silly way to honour your favourite pop culture moment from the year or highlight something everyone enjoyed.

There are new batches of popular costumes every year, and among those are always a few memes and pop culture moments. This year had a lot to choose from. From the obsession with Labubus to the Louvre heist, people took costume inspiration from everything.

While there were so many costumes to see, here we have collected just some of this year's meme and pop culture costumes that people created and showed off at their Halloween events. Enjoy seeing what some people pretended to be this year.
