The Top Halloween Costumes of 2025

From Wicked Witches to Pet Gizmos — Everyone’s Dressing Up This Year

Spooky season is creeping up fast, and costume fever is officially here. According to the Halloween Costume Association, 51% of adults who celebrate Halloween are dressing up this year — and 34% are dragging their pets into it too. (Because nothing says commitment like a Shih Tzu in a wig.)

Halloween spending is set to hit a record $13.1 billion, with 71% of that going to costumes alone. Translation: We are ready to serve looks, not just candy.

So, what’s hot for 2025? Google Trends has spoken — it’s a monster mash of pop culture hits and nostalgic throwbacks.
