Formula 1 racing has risen to the top of the athletic world in recent years, but 2024 has proved an especially buzzy year for the sport. Drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen have become high-profile figures worldwide, and races like the Monaco Grand Prix and the Miami Grand Prix have attracted A-list actors, musicians, and artists who have flocked to the raceway to stand beside longtime fans of the sport. Whether you go all out and rep your favorite driver's gear, or grab a leather racing jacket and a baseball cap embroidered with a sponsor's logo, you're sure to stand out for Halloween 2024.

Since rumours of a Luca Guadagnino-directed film starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist began swirling the Internet, cinephiles across the world settled in for the project that would inevitable become a global phenomenon. After its buzzy press tour and April 2024 release, Challengers proved to be just that. Intense, electrifying, and utterly engaging, the film centered on three tennis players captured the attention of the world and helped jumpstart interest in the sport to those outside of its existing base.

Whether you're looking for a quirky, yet instantly recognizable group costume or you can't get Zendaya's iconic looks—both on and off the court—out of your mind, a Challengers-inspired ensemble is the ultimate achievable, ultra-chic Halloween 2024 pick.

Cowboy costumes for Halloween are nothing new, but this year, Beyoncé has taken the Western aesthetic to a whole new level with the release of her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Embrace a unique cowboycore look this season à la Queen Bey and set yourself apart from the crowd.

Season 3 of Bridgerton may be finished airing, but historical costumes, especially those with an ultra-chic flair, never go out of style. Last year, young women across the world donned towering white powdered wigs, pink corsets, and plenty of blush as they masqueraded as Marie Antoinette on Halloween night, but this year, regency core has proved to be an equally alluring aesthetic. Whether you opt to draw inspiration from a specific Bridgerton character or simply put your own spin on the historically inspired look, regency attire will prove to be a trendy, versatile way to celebrate Halloween 2024 in style.

If nothing else, 2024 has proved to be the year of Sabrina Carpenter. In the spring, the popstar released "Espresso," a fun, catchy track that quickly became this year's unofficial song of the summer. In stylish retro-inspired swimwear, Carpenter made a major splash with the music video accompanying the track, which has smashed streaming records and made music history. Looking to put a spooky spin on your Sabrina Carpenter look? Grab a friend and go as Carpenter and Jenna Ortega from the "Taste" music video, which featured iconic gothic-esque styles and bloody revenge, making it the perfect pick for the horror-inclined sartorial savant this year.

Sex And The City Costumes

While HBO's Sex And The City has lived in the minds of millions as an iconic '90s/Y2K era series for year, in 2024, it experienced a cultural renaissance, in part due to Gen Z's sudden fixation on the show and its best style moments. If you're looking for a group costume—and an excuse to pull out your favorite vintage pieces—opt for a Sex And The City ensemble with three of your closest friends for Halloween 2024.

Your Favourite Cocktail

Looking for a last-minute costume? Avid Pinterest curators, Tiktok creators, and Instagram It girls are looking towards their favorite cocktails as inspiration for low-key, but endlessly stylish Halloween costumes. Whether you're a martini girl, a cosmopolitan fan, or an Aperol spritz enjoyer, a couple of colorful pieces from your wardrobe, corresponding to the hue of the cocktail in question, can prove the perfect starting point for your beverage-themed look this Halloween—and of course, any cocktail-themed look would be incomplete without the libation of inspiration in hand.
