20 last-minute costume ideas for Halloween in Toronto 2021

Halloween costume ideas for 2021 range from references to pop culture to weird references to Toronto. You can stick to boring old ideas, or you can try a specific 2021 look. For the best new costumes, check out some popular Netflix shows, pop culture moments, and specific Toronto stories.

Here are some Halloween costume ideas for 2021.

Drake's highly anticipated new album went offline earlier this year and has been on everyone's playlist ever since. Gather a group of friends and dress up as album covers full of emojis. If you have a friend who is really pregnant, get extra points.

The Disney star turned into a pop star and captured the hearts of girls all over the world. Her album cover is the perfect costume for the last minute of Halloween. The photo is from Olivia Rodrigo.

The teenage pop star has taken the world by storm with her debut album "SOUR". Take a pink vest and a bunch of stickers and stick them on your face, including your tongue, but make sure you don’t swallow anything.

The only way to travel on all public transportation in the city is to use a Presto card, so why not dress up, try your luck, and take the TTC for free. All you need is some paint, cardboard and a creative hand to draw all the details of the card.

This unexpected new duo has become this year's "it" couple. Why not dress up as this couple on the VMA red carpet at MTV? Visit the lingerie store, or if you are cunning, you can make Megan’s signature dress. Prepare a shiny red suit for your partner. If you want to take it to the next level, take a long dark wig and a bleached golden wig to really complete the look.

The release of Squid Game on Netflix has taken the world by storm. You can dress up as a player in green sports clothing painted with numbers, or as a guard in an all-red jumpsuit and a mask painted with one of the shapes. This costume will definitely be one of the more popular costumes this year.

If you don’t want to dress up like a player on a popular Netflix show, the robot doll is a good choice. Photos are from Netflix.

Speaking of the squid game, another iconic character is the robot doll. This clothing idea is easy to execute. All you need is an orange dress, a yellow shirt, tie your hair into some braids, and you will look exactly like this weird character.

Ghost kitchens are emerging in cities recently, why not dress up as one of the many ghost kitchens? Take a white bed sheet and some kitchen utensils, and you have created this simple and timely garment.

If you are a big fan of the British singer like me, then this costume is for you. All you need is a two-piece leather jacket and a green feather scarf. This dress can also double as a night out, so be sure to save it for the next time you go to the club.

Speaking of celebrities at high-profile events, why not dress up as the reality star on the famous Met Gala. All you need is a black magic suit with a matching cloak, and you can start.

You can't get more Torontons than this. This is the perfect DIY group costume until you start to miss some letters of your group. Photo by Hector Vasquez.

Nothing makes Toronto scream more than dressing up as an iconic logo. This will be a great group outfit for you and your friends. You just need some cardboard and some paint to create all the letters. Or, if you are not that cunning, you can take some T-shirts and draw letters on the shirts.

Don't be one of the basic couple outfits at the party, but dress up like this Marvel super couple. I will not destroy any content of the hit show, but choose the era of your favorite character and dress up as the iconic Wanda Maximov and Vision. Don't forget to take some cloaks and red topcoat.

The original Gossip Girl was a very popular show in the mid-2000s, and now you can relive the nostalgia of this beloved drama with a new reboot. Put on a suit jacket, tie, plaid skirt or khaki pants and you will be a good fit. Don't forget the iconic headband that Blair Waldorf has always worn.

At home, most of us don't wear business casual clothes, but only wear clothes that are above the waist and suitable for the office. All you need is the home attire for daily work, a computer and a cup of coffee, and you have a complete set of clothing.

One trend on TikTok is pumpkin head photos. If you want to join this trend, you only need a pumpkin and the most suitable one. Carve out your best pumpkin lantern face, then put it on your head and you are ready. Be careful when walking around, because autumn vegetables can be heavy and can block your view.

This live-action remake of the beloved Disney movie has become very popular and is also a great costume idea. All you need is a split dyed wig, a red dress and a thick faux fur coat. If you have a dog, grab your furry best friend and get it all done. If you do own a Dalmatian, you can earn bonus points.

The latest "Suicide Squad" movie was released earlier this year and contains some of your favorite DC characters. Grab your friends, dress up as your favorite members, and put on epic group costumes.

These little animals have become a meme in this city. From a dead temple to being arrested in a strange place, this will be an easy-to-collect costume. Just pick up some striped clothes and enter the compost bin. 

If you haven't known or met E-girl before, please think about Billie Eilish. She is the perfect example of an electronic girl. Photo from Christine Makati.

One of the biggest fashion trends is to dress like an electronic girl or an electronic boy on TikTok. For those who are confused by this costume, this is a modern subculture of anxiety. You will be wearing a striped shirt with plenty of leather accessories instead of all black. You will also have exaggerated blushes and black hearts on your face.

Anyone with a smartphone has played this game for most of the year. Try not to doubt and dress up as your favorite character.

If you don't know what Cheugy means, it is defined as something outdated or someone working too hard. If you have old clothes from the past ten years, they will be very suitable for this outfit. Pair skinny jeans with some Adidas slippers and Starbucks coffee cups and you are ready to go.
