This week is all about Halloween, and what’s Halloween without costumes? Instead of giving you the most popular costumes, I’m presenting you with costumes from those forgotten moments from our childhood. Let’s go!
- Destiny’s Child – 2000
-
I know no one forgot about Destiny’s Child, I just wanted to start with something iconic to ease into the craziness that’s about to ensue. Tease that hair girl!
- Britney and Justin in Denim – 2001
-
Full denim… dress and suit? That’s all sorts of uncomfortable to me. But seriously, I completely forgot about this AMA red carpet moment. As for Britney and Justin… it’s almost as if they were never a thing. I’m now stuck second guessing my memories.
- Creed – 2002
-
Remember that Creed Bratton from The Office is really a musician? Whether you’re inspired by his business persona or musicianship, don’t forget the slyness.
- NCIS Characters – 2003
-
I don’t know about you, but I need the latest seasons on Netflix ASAP. I used to watch this show all of the time with my parents, and what better way to honor the year it aired than to dress up like Abbey or Tony?
- Friends – 2004
-
Friends may have been a staple of the 90s, but I bet you forgot that it came to an end in 2004. Style your hair with the best Rachel energy you can muster and bring your best five friends along for the night.
- The Black Eyed Peas – 2005
-
Do you guys remember them? Will.I.Am has been staying busy, but I haven’t thought about this music group in years. I suggest borrowing a look from one of their iconic album covers.
- Nanny McPhee – 2006
-
I was actually freaked out by this movie as a kid because I didn’t understand the makeup. However, it’s perfect now that so many people are into special effects makeup. It’s all I see on socials around Halloween. Have a long black dress handy?
- Shrek the Third – 2007
-
Shrek is love and Shrek is life, but the third movie? I can’t remember a single scene. You probably already have a Shrek costume though, right? Perfect.
- Zoey 101 – 2008
-
2008 was the year it was announced Zoey 101 would come to an end due to Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy. Did you know she has two kids now? I think there’s a third in the way as well. For Halloween, DIY a PCA shirt!fl
- Farmville – 2009
-
FarmVille was launched on Facebook in 2009. This costume is simple. Dress as a farmer, but brand an item of clothing with the word FarmVille using fabric paint. Did you play FarmVille?
- Zombie – 2010
-
This year was an iconic year. The beginning of a new decade, it brought us Lady Gaga’s meat dress. It was hard to pick, but I think we kind of all forgot about everyone’s huge zombie phase. Tear up some old clothes, white face powder, and fake blood to chase for some Walking Dead cosplay.
