This one is a no-brainer. The hit Korean survival drama series is currently the hottest ticket in town.

There's no shortage of characters to emulate here--from guards in red uniforms with matching black fencing helmets, to contestants in an all-green tracksuit, to the giant killer doll for sinister effect.

The good news is that Squid Game-inspired outfits are all over in popular online shopping sites like Lazada and Shopee, so you'll never run out of options.

If you're feeling stingy, you can look for DIY tutorial videos on YouTube and make it yourself.

Love her or hate her, there's no denying Kim Kardashian's place in American pop culture.

Known for her fondness for sexy, provocative fashion sense, the reality show star-turned-beauty mogul turned heads once more with her bizarre all-black Balenciaga look at the 2021 Met Gala.

It's a look fit for Halloween, complete with the exaggerated and frightening feels to spook onlookers of all ages.

What's a seasoned American politician have to do with Halloween? Apparently, the lawmaker from Vermont turned viral when he attended the inauguration of US President Joe Biden in January.

During the event, Sanders was photographed quietly observing the event in his cozy coat and wool mittens.

The image instantly became an internet sensation as people from all around the world started posting memes of Sanders with various backgrounds for comical effect.

Megan Fox

Want an eyebrow-raising costume this Halloween? If you're brave and daring, then perhaps you can go for the Megan Fox look at the 2021 MTV VMAs.

The stunning model-actress donned a sheer nude dress complete with a sparkly thong underneath.

Not for the faint of heart, this costume is quite over the top and leaves little to the imagination, but eye-catching indeed if that's what you're aiming for.

You might perhaps want to drag a male companion clad in a sparkling red suit ala Machine Gun Kelly to complete the look.

Gossip Girl

The reboot of the hit series Gossip Girl reminded everyone of that stylish preppy look that somehow never goes out of style.

There's plenty to choose from here and you can play with the look as well for added effect.

Hidilyn Diaz

Talk about Pinoy pride. Hidilyn Diaz became the toast of the entire nation after winning the country's first gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Best to go with her winning look--fitted blue tank top with matching cycling shorts, black kneepads, and a pair of white trainers.

While you're at it, why not don a gold medal for added emphasis? A 127-kilogram barbell is optional, though.
