It goes without saying that whoever was in the news this year is bound be inspiration for a Halloween costume. This is, if the people or characters translate into costume. Nothing like showing up at a party and have people say you dont look a thing like Mark Zuckerberg or your Amy Winehouse beehive just aint funny.
We picked seven trending costumes from around the web and posted them in order of their popularity:
You can find this years most popular Halloween mask according to retailers who carry it, all over the web priced as low as $12.95 at Fantasytoyland.com and as much as $29 on eBay.

You could probably pull off Lady Gaga all by yourself, but just in case big blonde hair and a meat dress is more than you can imagine pulling together, Buycostumes.com offers these.

The National Retail Federation says The Walking Dead series on AMC has made zombies a popular pick this year. This is another look you can probably pull off without help, but for some really ugly accessories check out Gothstore.Piratemerch.com.

Havent a clue who Angry Bird are/is? But dont be left behind on this emerging trend. Just tell your friends the kids made you wear it. Disregard the lady in the background. We havent a clue who she is, either.


Did you forget about the royal wedding, already? Seems like ages ago. But royal-watcher did not. The William and Kate costume, for couples, is popular this year at CostumeExpress.com
We had to take a peek at GrandinRoad.com to see what Martha has cooked up in her cauldron since she co-creates costumes with this company. This witch costume looks pretty comfortable, although with a bit of stitching you could probably make your own. If not, well now you know where to go.

This ghost costume from GrandinRoad.com looks pretty easy to wear: white makeup, black eyes, large mosquito netting cape.
