Get into these pop-culture-inspired Halloween costumes that celebrate Black culture.

Halloween is right around the corner, and if you don't have a costume, we got you! These 10 celebrity and pop-culture-inspired costumes will be a hit wherever your Halloween festivities take you this year. We especially love these looks because they celebrate Black culture, so get into them below.

  • Janine Teagues from 'Abbott Elementary'

    Abbott Elementary racked up at the Emmys for a reason—two words: Quinta Brunson, the creator and leading actress. Janine Teagues has an optimistic and wildly naive demeanor that gets her and her teacher squad into all kinds of hijinks that keep us laughing. To channel Janine this Halloween season, you'll need a turtleneck, pleated skirt, statement belt, and boots. You can even get a few friends to channel her teacher squad with you!

  • 'Creed 111'

    Although Creed 111 doesn't hit theaters until March 2023, we're already excited after watching the newly released trailer. Michael B. Jordan might be in the best shape ever, so if you're going to pull off this costume, you'll need to have your gym body in tip-top form. After that, a pair of boxing gloves and shorts emblazoned with "Creed" across the band is all you'll have to get. Plus, you can always paint on your abs!

  • Ice Spice

    Ice Spice has taken the rap world by storm with her song "Munch." Her casual 'fit from the video is easy to recreate, but getting her ginger curls will really set your whole costume off. We're sure everyone you encounter during your Halloween will be feelin' your look, oo.

  • Bad Bunny

    If you weren't at the Bad Bunny tour this summer, you were experiencing a strong case of FOMO scrolling through the concert footage on TikTok. His style is unmatched, and you'll have plenty of iconic looks to choose from for a Halloween costume, with everyone singing the lyrics to "Tití Me Preguntó" when you arrive.

  • Serena Williams

    Serena Williams has been known to bring as much style to the tennis court as she brings game. Her star-studded Nike dress for one of her final U.S. Open games didn't disappoint and will surely go down in history, so pick up a tennis racket and a bedazzler ahead of Halloween so you're all set come October 31st.

  • Drake and Jack Harlow

    Looking for a duo costume? Well, the best hip hop duo to come out of 2022 might just be Drake and Jack Harlow in their video for “Churchill Downs.” Coordinate silky suits with your buddy and pop champagne like the rappers would.

    The beauty and grace that is Kate Sharma, played by actress Simone Ashley took our breath away on season two of Shonda Rhimes' Bridgerton. Be extra this Halloweenelbow-length gloves, empire waist style gowns, corsets, and jewels!

  • Ja Morant

    The Griddy is the dance sensation taking over the world of sports, and Memphis Grizzlies baller Ja Morant is the man who brought the craze to the spotlight on the court. His NBA accolades include starting in the NBA All-Star Game in 2022 and winning the NBA Most Improved Player Award at the end of the season. A Grizzlies jersey and locs tied up in his signature half-up half-down style are key to getting the look and, of course, pull-up to the Halloween festivities hitting the Griddy.
