Halloween is rapidly approaching and if like me you've left getting your costume until the last minute, fear not!
We've scoured the city far and wide to find the best and most original halloween costumes that Dublin has to offer.
G'wan, have a gawk. Even if it's just to get some inspo.
This is the ideal costume for anyone who wants to remain anonymous for the night. Oh and also not be able to breath!
With all this talk of the mass event on facebook, why not dress for the occasion? Not the most original but you're sure to get a good reaction with it.
This costume is super easy to put together but also looks like you've made loads of effort, it's a win win situation.
Oktoberfest went down a treat this year so why not take some inspiration from it and don some incredibly stylish lederhosen.
If your tan comes out 10 shades darker than it should then this could be the IDEAL costume for you. Just pretend that you meant to turn yourself a radioactive shade of orange.
This one is quite original and looks cute too. It's good for the gal that likes getting dressed up for Halloween but not necessarily into the guts and the gore that goes with it.
How could you not have a great night dressed up as Mrs. Brown? The television favourite inspired costume will go down a treat no matter where you wear it to.
Clowns have been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently but it's always a popular Halloween costume. Just don't do anything outrageous while wearing it.
Dressing up as a vampire is a fairly standard Halloween costume so why not mix it up a little and add in the coffin. It's so original people won't know what's hit them.
If you're addicted to Scream Queens then you'll know all about the infamous red devil. This mask complete with a red cape makes for the perfect Halloween costume. Maybe just leave the chainsaw at home...
You'll probably see a million girls dressed up as the Suicide Squad favourite this year but feel free to jump on the bandwagon. Make up artist Chloé Boucher, has a fab tutorial on her instagram for creating the perfect Harley face.
It's one of the simplest yet most effective costumes you can throw together at the last minute.
Fred Elliot is a soap legend. If you decide to go dressed as the famous Coronation Street character you'll be the envy of every soap fan.
Another Corrie legend, Hilda Ogden is the perfect costume choice for any die hard soap opera fanatic.
If you're looking to be the centre of attention this Halloween, nothing says look at me quite like donning these famous luminous orange overalls.
I think we all know someone who acts like a big giant baby without having to wear the costume but if you feel like slipping back in time for one night then this is the perfect choice for you.
The iconic cartoon character is bound to go down a treat with everyone this Halloween. Just maybe don't go around barefoot, especially on the streets of Dublin.
If dressing up as a mythical creature is more your thing then this is the costume for you. If like me you have magpie tendencies, stick on this mask and load up on the glitter and you're good to go.
For those of you who want to dress up with your significant other this cape set is ideal.
The zombie bride is always a popular look at Halloween. Slap on the white face paint, smudge your red lipstick and you're set.
If all your friends are dressing up as Priests and Nuns why don't you go one step further and dress up as a Cardinal? You'll be the talk of the Parish.
Disney characters make an appearance at every Halloween party. If you're tired of the generic Disney princess mix it up a little by going as a more alternative character like the Queen of Hearts.
Most people have wanted to be a mermaid at some stage of their lives so what better excuse to dress up like one than Halloween.
Halloween HQ is on Henry Street and in Dundrum Town Centre. The Silly Shop can be found on Liffey Street and Dundrum. Celebrations Party Shop is located on Abbey Street.

Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]

Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise.
