5 Easy Halloween Costume Ideas from 2024 Emmy Winners

Halloween is coming up, and if you’re still looking for a costume, why not draw inspiration from the Emmys! Here are some costume ideas inspired by the winners of the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards!

The Bear

Looking for a quick and easy Halloween costume? Look no further than The Bear! FX’s hit series received 23 nominations and had 11 wins at the 2024 Emmys, smashing its own record for the most Primetime Emmys won by a comedy series in a single year! It’s easy enough to channel your inner Carmen Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) or Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) with black plants, a blue apron, and white shirt. You can complete the look for Carmie with a set of temporary tattoos, or, for Sydney, a bandana for your hair! The finishing touch is to have a determined expression on your face!

Only Murders in the Building

The Hulu Original Only Murders in the Building has quickly become a fan favorite. In the midst of Season 4’s release, it’s the perfect time for an Only Murders in the Building Halloween costume! At the 2024 Emmy Awards, Only Murders in the Building had 21 nominations and 3 wins! If you’re looking to channel your inner Mabel Mora, played by Selena Gomez, it might be best to go with her most iconic look! You’ll need brown plaid pants, a yellow top, and of course a fuzzy yellow coat. To complete the look, grab a yellow beanie, some red headphones, and a pair of aviator sunglasses. And just like that, you’ll look like you’re ready to solve a murder! 

Fallout

Amazon’s new hit series Fallout has video game fans and critics happy! Fallout received 16 Emmy nominations and had 1 win at the 76th Emmy Awards. If you’re a fan of the post-apocalyptic world you can dress up like a Vault Dweller! Whether you want to be Lucy (Ella Purnell) or Norm (Moisés Arias) all you’ll need is a Vault Dweller jumpsuit and a trusty Pip-Boy

The Traitors

If you’re a fan of reality TV, The Traitors is a great easy Halloween costume! The Traitors received 4 Emmy nominations, and won 2 Emmys including the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition Program at the 2024 awards ceremony! To channel your inner villain you’ll need a dark green cloak and some devious energy! There have been plenty of great Traitors on the show like Parvati Shallow from Survivor, Phaedra Parks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, or Cody Calafiore from Big Brother! Just pick an outfit that channels your favorite Traitor and your cloak to go incognito!

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)

If you’re looking for an easy couples’ costume idea, Amazon’s limited series reboot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith may be right for you! Created by Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, Mr. & Mrs. Smith draws inspiration from the 2005 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt film of the same name. Donald Glover and Maya Erskine were phenomenal as the titular couple, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith garnered 16 nominations and 2 wins at the 2024 Emmys! To dress up as Mr. Smith, a white turtleneck shirt and light khaki pants that have been dirtied up, which you can do yourself! To channel Mrs. Smith you need a black jumpsuit, and you both will need some fake blood to cap off the look!
