You&#8217;ll likely bump into another Barbie at any Halloween event you go to. So how can you stand out?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple, go for a unique Barbie look. Have you considered dressing up as Kate McKinnon&#8217;s &#8220;Weird Barbie&#8221;? It&#8217;s fresh, colorful, and not something you&#8217;ll see everywhere. If Barbie&#8217;s not your thing, why not pick a Ken look? Options are plenty, from a Ryan Gosling-inspired leather vest to Ncuti Gatwa&#8217;s vibrant workout outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got a knack for the unusual? Why not go meta and dress up as something related to the Barbie movie universe, like its director Greta Gerwig?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Atomic Appeal of Oppenheimer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-168402 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/oppenheimer--e1698683377611.webp\" alt=\"oppenheimer\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/oppenheimer--e1698683377611.webp 1920w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/oppenheimer--e1698683377611-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/oppenheimer--e1698683377611-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/oppenheimer--e1698683377611-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/oppenheimer--e1698683377611-1536x865.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Barbie&#8217;s massive success, it&#8217;s hard to ignore the &#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221; film. Though it&#8217;s not a top Google search, it&#8217;s got its own unique charm. You could go for the classic look of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man behind the atomic bomb. All you need is a suit, tie, and a serious gaze. Feeling creative? Try blending Barbie and Oppenheimer into one quirky &#8220;Barbenheimer&#8221; outfit. The sky&#8217;s the limit!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Spider-Man Swings Back: A Web of Choices<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-168404 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/spiderman.jpg\" alt=\"spiderman\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/spiderman.jpg 1456w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/spiderman-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/spiderman-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/spiderman-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/gaming\/epic-games-welcomes-spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-to-fortnite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spider-Man<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another hot pick, especially with the new movie &#8220;Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.&#8221; The classic superhero look is an easy win, but why not spice it up? You could go as Spider-Punk or even Dad Peter Parker in his comfy pink bathrobe. Both are cool and will give you a unique spin on a well-known character.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Wednesday Addams: The Return of the Iconic Goth Girl<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-168403 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/wednesday-e1698683460800.jpg\" alt=\"Wednesday Addams\" width=\"1000\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/wednesday-e1698683460800.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/wednesday-e1698683460800-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/wednesday-e1698683460800-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missed out on dressing as Wednesday Addams last year?

You could go realistic, like &#8220;Fat Bear Week&#8221; winner 128 Grazer, or go for a pop culture twist with a bear character from the TV show &#8220;The Bear.&#8221; With a simple apron and bear ears, you&#8217;ll be the talk of the party.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10028,"featured_media":168418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3385],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-168393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168393"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
