The media couldn't stop talking about Katy Perry's 2019 Met Gala after party dress, which was actually from her cameo in Taylor Swift's "You Need To Calm Down" music video, and neither can we! Not only was the hamburger costume bedazzled to suit the theme of "Camp: Notes on Fashion" even more, but Perry's bedazzled hamburger slip-ons were the perfect added touch. 

3. Sushi Couple's Costume

Mmmm! Who doesn't love a good plate of spaghetti and meatballs? We love the creativity that @carolinekaufman put into her Halloween costume, especially her use of fabric to create the long spaghetti strands draped over her body and the pompoms for meatballs.

We absolutely love the little fire detail at the bottom, adding a touch of creativity to an already creative costume idea. 

9. Popcorn

One of our favourite food costumes to date is this burlesque-style popcorn lady! This was submitted by a fan during her attendance at Montreal Comiccon, and we couldn't be more in love with the creative approach to a popcorn costume. We love the intersection of the old circus aesthetic with the pastel color palette, as well as the burlesque style corsetry and details. Get inspired by a type of food and use that as a jumping point for your own gorgeous and creative costume, like this!

10. Starbucks Duo

Easy to make and comfortable to sport during a night of trick-or-treating, we're sure anyone you come across will notice just how sweet this costume is! Want to add another friend? Suggest they go as a delicious cake pop, or an iced coffee, and bring Starbucks to anywhere you go.

Did you know sushi is said to date back all the way between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC, as a way to preserve fish in salt? Nowadays, we know it is a delicious and nutritious fresh meal with a plethora of different flavours and ingredients. Go as your favourite roll and customize the costume as you please, with the only thing you need being a pillow strapped to your back and headband, like the picture above!
