Oh, how the duality of the festive Halloween season never fails to impress me. One minute you’re channeling spooky-ooky Tim Burton energy and the next you’re navigating sexually charged chaos under the full moon at the rager of the year. Whether you plan to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve with your boo or hit the town with your girl gang, you’re going to need a costume Heidi Klum would be proud of. Every lady knows there are two paths that diverge in a narrow wood when it comes to carefully selecting a Halloween costume. You can use the holiday to flex as a sex goddess or you can craft your look around getting laughs. Whatever path you choose, you want it to be recognizable and one of the biggest pop culture moments of 2024 is without a doubt Love Island. Love Island USA especially had our humble nation in a chokehold, giving plenty of iconic moments to recreate. Coming up with your own Love Island Halloween costume ideas feeling like a challenge? Join me below for all the options that will totally scream you came here for love.

How To Make A Love Island Halloween Costume In 2024

Love Island Basic Bitch

Sometimes we don’t have the time or funds to pop off on an outfit we’re only going to wear once, which is why Love Island is perfect for a basic betch costume. All you need is a bright-colored two-piece bikini, a scarf to wrap around your waist like a sarong, and a long back string or ribbon you can tie a teeny black ball to that resembles their trademark microphones. As someone who had a Love Island-themed birthday party, I highly recommend searching for “black fuzzy pompoms” at a craft store or Amazon.

As literally everyone with eyeballs knows, Ariana slayed TF out of her Love Island host looks. For the ladies who want to go all out as the main character at any October 30 bash, try recreating Ariana’s “dripping in gold” moment that started it all. You might not have access to Ariana’s glam team, but if you have a small barrel curling iron and fuck ton of highlighter, the options below give big revenge energy.

Mimii’s Secret Mission On The Floor from Love Island UK

A moment of respect for our Love Island UK season 11 winner, queen Mimii Ngulube. Since Mimii and Josh made it through the bullshit hoop that were Ayo and Joey Essex, we can now laugh about her “secret mission.” All you need to bring this to life is a middle part, a gold necklace, and a cargo skirt. If you’re in search of a lace-up corset shirt that you’ll definitely get wear out of, look no further.

Love Island USA Group Costume: PPG (Leah, JaNa, And Serena)

Go ahead and do your big one by dressing up with your two besties as the three musketeers. The key to landing this costume is embodying the three very different styles of Leah, JaNa, and Serena. Leah is obsessed with being an IG baddie so you’re going to want something sheer and formfitting that greatly flatters your booty. JaNa wore a lot of leather and latex on the show, so a shiny dress or two-piece set is the vibe. Serena was the most funky with her fashion, so anything from a school girl look to a black lacey jumpsuit will hit the point home.

Rob Kabobs, rise. This is an unisex option, just in case it wasn’t obvious. All you’ll need is a pair of overalls and a bucket hat of your choosing and you’ll have multiple suitors of your choosing risking it all for you in a few drinks time.

Love Island USA Couples Costume: Kordell And Serena

A big ol’ round of applause for our Love Island USA season 6 winners, who made dressing up in their honor for Halloween too easy. Dig up all of the lime green gear in your closet you can find to get all matchy-matchy and don’t forget the Cheez-Its!

Crying Kaylor from Love Island USA

Dressing up like Kaylor won’t be complete without big chunky mascara tears and foundation streaks down your face. If you can’t cry on command, just do what I do and picture an old lady sitting alone on a park bench. As for an outfit, there’s plenty of flexibility as the makeup and curls will do most of the work. A bikini, matching set, white bubble dress, or red sheer maxi all scream “I’m Aaron’s ex-girlfriend”.

Love Island UK Friend Costume: “Who’s Emma?” (Nicole And Emma)

Everyone say it together on three: whooooose aymah?! This is an opportunity to show everyone how clever you are. One friend can dress up as Nicole (which is easily executed with a strapless maxi dress and a ton of powder over contour) while the chill BFF who DGAF can wear a t-shirt with a name tag that reads “Emma.”

The Famous Love Island USA Mini Dress

Finally, for all the divas who wanna get freaky, buy the piece that was USA’s version of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Even if uncultured partygoers don’t realize you’re wearing *thee* Santana Mini Dress in Burgandy, which makes you an Islander, they are going to realize you’re hot AF.
