2015’s Top Costumes:
- Donald Trump: Whether you agree with his political beliefs or not, Donald Trump has dominated the headlines for most of this year by throwing his hat in the ring for president. Trump’s iconic hair and mannerisms are being emulated by many in their costumes.
- El Chapo: Internationally infamous Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has captivated the world with his elaborate escape from maximum security prison in July and has been on the run ever since. With the popularity of El Chapo costumes, it looks like authorities are going to have an even harder time capturing the criminal this Halloween season.
- The Pope: A Halloween favorite, this season the popularity of Pope costumes has skyrocketed after his historic visit to the US. Expect to see many Halloween revelers emulating the holy figure.
- Minions: With the popularity of the “Despicable Me” and “Minions” movie franchises, Minion costumes depicting the little yellow creatures are flying off the store shelves. Even the Boston Bruins hockey team is taking part in dressing up as the animated characters.
