Grindr’s 2024 Halloween Costume Predictions
Halloween? It's not just a day-it's the Olympics of queer excellence. Forget costumes, this is a battle of who can break the most necks. And Grindr's got the tea. We asked you, and you came through with the hottest looks for 2024.
We asked our users what they think will be the hottest Halloween costumes for 2024. Here's what they said:
- Brat Green: You're not just wearing Brat Green-you're showing everyone that Brat Summer never ended. Subtlety? Never heard of her. Brat Green is everywhere, and that's the point. It didn't just take 2024 by storm-it grabbed the year by the throat. Too loud? Too much? That's exactly what makes it Brat.
- Chappell Roan: She's canceled shows, called out her fans, and had thoughts about pop stardom- but can you blame her? Who else has had a rise this fast, going from indie darling to headlining stages in what feels like a heartbeat? Her look? Metallic pink bodysuits, glitter boots, and her iconic Pink Pony Club vibe with feathers and sequins. Chaotic, bold, the moment.
- Cowboy Carter: Rhinestones where dirt used to be, leather in places no one saw coming-this isn't your typical cowboy. Beyoncé didn't just tip her hat; she made it sparkle. Sequins, stomping boots, and a Stetson that's more crown than cap. Country has gone rogue, loud, and fully unapologetic.
- Gladiator: This isn't Paul Mescal in running shorts-it's Mescal in slutty armor. Garb clinging in all the right places, bruised, dirty, and hotter for it. You don't want clean; you want raw, intense, and just the right amount of mess. Mescal's Lucius doesn't do polished; he does survival, and looks damn good doing it.
How Early Do You Start Planning Your Costume?
Looks like 9.1% of you start planning the day after Halloween. Are we calling that ambition or just the inability to chill? Meanwhile, 46.6% take a month-enough time to plan, plot, and execute. But the real wild cards are the 27.4%. You wake up, remember it's Halloween, and somehow pull off a look that leaves people speechless. Real.
Best Couple (or Throuple) Costume Ideas
Alright, so 37.7% of you couldn't settle for just one-you grabbed Deadpool + Wolverine and called it a day. Then there's the 15.2% who chose Kamala Harris + Coconut Tree. Mixing policy with palms? Legislative shade just got literal. And 12% of you went straight to Lydia Deetz + Beetlejuice. Sometimes weird just hits different.
That's just a taste for you. For the data nerds who can't get enough-check out the rest of our Halloween 2024 survey results below.
Happy Halloween.
