Halloween is about a month away, but it's never too early to start planning your costume. If you're like me and hate elaborate costumes, but don't want to be totally boring, this is the perfect in-between.

Without further ado, here is the ultimate list of fun meme references and pop culture moments from 2025 that everyone will be obsessed with:

A Labubu

What not than the doll that has everyone in a chokehold? If you can manage to DIY this, hats off to you... And if you ever wanted to paint yourself in 24 karat gold, now is your chance.

Take the Quiz: If you were a Never Have I Ever character, which one would you be?

Are you Crazy Devi, robotics queen Fabiola Torres, or maybe popular jock Paxton?

A Performative Male

Put on your thrifted jeans, a novel about feminism, and earbuds blaring Clairo in a very “trying to be woke” way.

The “Skibidi Toilet” Meme

Honestly, I still don't even know what this means. I think this is more of a Gen Alpha thing but some Gen Z'ers seem to know what's up when it comes to this meme...

Print a toilet on a shirt, wear a goofy hat, do the Skibidi dance.

The “Girl Dinner” Trend

This is the perfect group costume. Each person can claim one: a cup of mac and cheese, pickles, a Diet Coke, a banana, the list goes on...

The “Roman Empire Guy”

Every dude who “thinks about the Roman Empire daily.” Just get a toga, or DIY it with some bedsheets yourself.

Barbenheimer Duo (Barbie + Oppenheimer)

Yes, this was very 2023, but it's still very iconic...

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

The cutest couple costume, and very on point for everything 2025. Hats off to the couple who actually did this way before...

The Grimace Shake Trend

Whip out an all purple fit and a McDonald’s cup, and you're good to go.
