From 'Squid Game' participants' uniforms to Dakota Johnson's dress — we share simple but striking looks for the upcoming Halloween 2025.

For Halloween 2025, you don't have to drag out a witch or vampire costume from the attic. There are fresh looks from this year's movies and TV shows that everyone will recognize, and they're easier to pull off than you think.

Sydney from 'The Bear'

The new season of the restaurant series returned in 2025. And Sydney, played by Ayo Edebiri, is a beloved character for many fans of the show. It's a match!

Why it's trending: After the latest season, everyone is back into chef culture, and Sydney is an iconic character.

What to wear: A blue apron, white t-shirt or shirt, bandana on the head. That's it. You can add a patch with the restaurant or chef's name.

Participants of 'Squid Game'

The third season came out in 2025, and once again the whole world is talking about this Korean hit.

Why it's trending: The series returned with a new season, so everyone remembers the green tracksuits of the participants and the pink guards.

What to wear: A green tracksuit with a number on the chest. Or a pink jumpsuit with a mask (circle, triangle, or square). Both options are cheap and simple.

Superman

The new Superman movie came out in 2025, and it's not the old classic hero but a fresh version.

Why it's trending: The film was a big event, Superman is back in fashion.

What to wear: Two options. Easy: white shirt, trousers, glasses, tie, and a t-shirt with the 'S' logo under the shirt (classic Clark Kent). Or a full Superman costume if you want.

Elphaba from 'Wicked'

The film comes out in November 2025, but everyone is already waiting for it like the second 'Barbie'.

Why it's trending: The original was a hit, the sequel promises to be the talk of the town.

What to wear: A black dress or long skirt with a top, a pointed witch hat. The main thing is green makeup on the face and hands. Yes, you'll have to paint yourself, but everyone will immediately know who you are.

Characters from 'Severance'

The second season came out in early 2025 and blew up the internet. Office workers with split consciousness are some of the most recognizable characters in pop culture.

Why it's trending: One of the most talked-about series of the year with 27 Emmy nominations.

What to wear: A strict office suit (white/blue shirt, black trousers/skirt, blazer or vest, tie). You can add a badge with 'Lumon Industries'. A stern expression is a must.

Wednesday Addams

Although the series 'Wednesday' came out in 2022, in 2025 this look is back in trend thanks to Tim Burton's signature aesthetic and gothic glamour.

Why it's trending: The second season just finished airing, and Wednesday is the gothic hit of the season that's easy to pull off.

What to wear: A black dress with a white collar (classic detail), black tights, black shoes or boots. Hair: two braids on the sides (essential detail). Makeup: pale face, dark lips, minimal blush. You can add black manicure, gloomy accessories (spiders, skulls). The look is instantly recognizable and doesn't require complex makeup.

Dexter Morgan

The cult series returned in 2025, and its 9.1 rating on IMDb speaks for itself. Dexter, a serial killer who only kills bad people, is a recognizable character with a simple but effective look.

Why it's trending: Dexter is back in top form and continues to captivate fans of serial killer stories.

What to wear: Dark jeans or trousers, a plaid shirt or plain t-shirt, a dark jacket. The main detail: a 'kill kit' — clear plastic wrap (available at hardware stores), plastic gloves, a scalpel or toy knife, bags with 'blood samples' (red liquid in zip bags).

Dr. Robby from 'The Pitt'

The 2025 medical drama became an unexpected hit with high ratings. Noah Wyle plays a doctor working in the emergency department, fighting for patients' lives every shift.

Why it's trending: The look is relevant due to the series' popularity and the overall medical theme in pop culture.

What to wear: A medical coat or uniform (blue or green), a stethoscope around the neck, a doctor's badge. 'Traces' of a tough shift are a must — blood stains on the coat (fake blood), a tired look, disheveled hair. Add a medical clipboard with notes, coffee in hand, exhausted makeup under the eyes.

Cassian from 'Andor'

The second season of 'Star Wars for adults' with high ratings concluded in 2025. Cassian Andor is a revolutionary fighting against the Empire without Jedi abilities.

Why it's trending: 'Star Wars' is beyond trends (or always in trend, whichever you prefer), and Cassian is one of the most successful and vivid characters of the saga's new era.

What to wear: A dark jacket or coat in military style, black t-shirt or sweater, tactical trousers, high boots. Add a blaster (toy or homemade from cardboard), rebel insignia (you can make a patch).

Dakota Johnson's Character from 'Materialist'

The film came out in 2025, and everyone is talking about the character's perfect bangs and her fateful choice between Pascal and Evans.

Why it's trending: A simple and recognizable look for those who don't want to overthink it.

What to wear: You need bangs (real or clip-in). Stylish clothes — a white shirt and trousers or that iconic blue dress. Don't forget an aloof expression, as if you don't care about anyone around you.

All these looks can be put together from what you have at home or bought for little money. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment a little and get into character. Then everyone will immediately know who you are at the party.
