The Best Easy Food Costumes for 2024

There is a special place in Heaven for the Etsy seller who decided to whip up a batch of churro costumes. Challengers or not, it’s honestly a unique and welcome departure from got-to food suit (think, donut or avocado) Halloween costumes.

If you don’t own a tennis racquet, you can always drive home the tennis theme with a few fitness accessories. This set comes with a headband, socks, and wristbands that you can always repurpose into a The Royal Tenenbaums-themed costume next year.

The pièce de resistance. Another one of the movie’s most memorable moments is when Josh O’Connor’s character, AKA hot rodent boyfriend #1, stirs the pot of his love triangle while wearing a $330 Loewe T-shirt that reads, “I TOLD YA.”

The key to conjuring Brat energy is a little splash of lime green. This apple T-shirt pays homage to Charlie XCX’s “Apple” song, but, unlike in its lyrics, this apple is in fact not rotten right to the core.

One of Charlie XCX’s go-to accessories are Guy Fieri-worthy black wrap shades. More power to you if you can bring home a pair of Balenciaga sunglasses, but this pair on Amazon has the same effect for the cost of a latte and a croissant.

Feel free to dress up this sandwich costume with some rubber lettuce leaves, bacon, tomatoes,  and other club sandwich ingredients — but, as it stands, you won’t need more than this sandwich suit to get your point across.

Jumbo Sharpies are a must-have anyways. How else are you going to label the best by date on your tub of Fage yogurt once you remove the foil lid?

You simply must recreate one of Bachelet’s signature accessories, a floppy newsboy cap that just might convince people that you know how to drive a train.

Chances are, you own an apron (if you don’t, we have also rounded up some very non-boring ones here). But one of easiest ways to convey that you are a baker, and not a train conductor, is by wearing this simple apron. 

Maybe you already possess the same beard and mustache combo as Bachelet (nice), but, for the rest of us, some artificial hair will be necessary to really get the look.

This wig is perhaps more Timothée Chalamet than Bachelet, but it will still pair beautifully with that floppy blue hat to complete your outfit by recreating the contestants wavy pirate locks.

One of Smith’s go-to hairstyles is a straight black bob, which can be recreated with this 10-inch wig from Amazon. And hey, here’s an idea: Why not repurpose it to be the Starburst “berries and cream” guy next year?

You can wear any gown or prairie style dress to get the trad wife look, but we found a dupe for the Rodarte dress that Nara Smith one wore on TikTok to really nail her aesthetic.

Without some sort of baking essential, you are basically just dressed as someone who is ready to go see Rigoletto at the opera. I suggest a stainless steel restaurant bowl, because who doesn’t need more of those laying around for big salads and popcorn?

There are manifold reasons as to why you should own a borderline-comically large wood spoon, from feeling your Strega Nona oats this fall to stirring your crawfish boils in the summer. But right now, it would certainly complete the Nara Smith costume.

Here’s what you do: Bring home a giant, comfy coffee cup costume, and write “ME” in big, bold letters on front.

Instead of latte art, your head will be sporting a Sabrina Carpenter-esque blonde wig that will drive home the look. And you really can’t own enough wigs, my friend; they’re one of the easiest ways to switch up your look for a costume party, regardless of the theme.

Granted, The Substance egg is not fried, but this wearable egg costume will do. After all, without spoiling the film, the aforementioned scene starts off with a single yolked egg receiving a dose of Lord Knows What from a green-tinged syringe.

Next, you’re going to want to purchase a ridiculously large syringe that is primed and ready to pose as the mysterious syringe that injects the egg. 

The final touch to your costume is spray painting that syringe a nice creepy green color, just like in the film. Congratulations! You’re now ready to produce a second, unsettling yolk that will ruin Demi Moore’s life.

I know that the makers of this, ehem, “Tumbley” cup are trying not to get sued by Stanley, but the name is actually pretty great.

The final touch on your spooky Stanley Cup costume should be a generous helping of fake blood, whether you go full Carrie or just sprinkle a bit on yourself like a Catholic priest.
