32 of the Best Comic-Con Looks for Your Halloween Costume

Here at Brit + Co, we don’t think it’s a coincidence that so many Halloween Costume contest winners happen to draw their inspiration from Comic-Con. Year after year, the world’s biggest celebration of cosplayers and costume-lovers alike brings us some seriously next-level costume ideas. And this year’s Comic-Con definitely delivered. So now that it’s time to get Halloween-ready, here are some of the best and most-recent Comic-Con costumes to help make your Halloween game seriously strong this year.

1.Spiderman Crew: Seems like Spiderman hasn’t been getting much love these days, huh? Well, you and your squad can change that this Halloween. Here’s a group of die-hard fans who are so devoted they make us want to join in on the fun.

2. Poison Ivy: What a femme fatale! We would have so much fun sporting a hot red wig like the one on Poison Ivy.

3. Ron Burgundy: Woohoo! Do we ever need any encouragement to channel one of our favorite Will Ferrell characters? Of course not. Dress as San Diego’s favorite news anchor and enjoy an evening like no other.

4. Ironman vs. Captain America: This is the Marvel Comics version of a Civil War reenactment and it is epic. All it takes is one look at that kid in the background to see that a superhero showdown is a great way to go.

5. Raven: She’s unique — you’ve gotta give her that. If you’re not the type to go with the trend, try out one of the lesser-known superheroes. You’ll have a blast being a superhero and knowing that you’re marching to the beat of your own drum.

6. Ash: This. Is. Intense. Slay some zombies this Halloween while dressed as a total badass and wielding a chainsaw. Yes, please.

7. Juggernaut: Woah! This is an X-Men who can’t be stopped. And neither can this costume.

8. Superman: Here’s the cutest — and tiniest — cosplayer from Comic Con. When else will you get to wear a red and sparkly tutu?

9. Merida from Brave: Girl power. Right? Here’s Merida kicking some serious butt at Comic-Con and rocking her long ginger curls. We hope to see many more where she came from this Halloween.

10. The Tick: Ummm. There’s really no reason to look past the full-on spandex bodysuits. Immediate yes. Lolz.

11. Rose Quartz: Who is this amazing character and why have we never heard of her? If you currently — or ever have been — a fan of the color pink, you should totally dress up in this fab pink costume. Even her sword and shield are bubblegum pink. Right on.

12. Beast from X-Men: This beast sure is, um, beastly. Don’t be scared. Underneath it all, ultimately he’s a super good guy.

13. Batmen + Robins: This costumed crew brings up an important point. With so many versions of Batman and Robin out there, you’re bound to run into a few others. But hey, that’s ok! Just be sure your version of the costume is the most original.

14. Pokemon: Aww! We’ve seen a Pokemon + Ash couple’s costume, but never two Pokemon before. Plus, homegirl’s facepaint and make-up are OOTW.

15. Harley Quinn + Stormtroopers: Here’s what happens when universes collide. Harley Quinn might be crazy cool, but we’re unsure how things would go down against a Storm Trooper. Chances are, she’d prevail. Our bets are with her.

16. Batgirl: Who doesn’t want to play hero for a day? Celebrate the 75th anniversary of Batman by hitting the town in your best Batgirl duds. (Photo via Tested)

17. Mugatu: We feel like we’re taking crazy pills!! This costume is bringing in the big guns and taking us back, and we’re obsessed. (Photo via Tested)

18. MTV Moon Man: This looks like a serious DIY project, but if you start now, you should be able to create something similar for Halloween. Plus, you’ll be nice and warm for all that trick or treating! (Photo via Tested)

19. Star Wars Couple: Star Wars has inspired some of the baddest costumes of the last decade, and this couple dressing up as Leia and Chewbacca this year proves this classic isn’t going anywhere. (Photo via Telegraph)

20. Maleficent: The ultimate way to portray animated chic is with an Angelina Jolie-inspired getup, don’t you think? (Photo via Tested)

21. Mystique: You’ll be cleaning up blue face paint for hours, but it’ll be worth it. (Photo via The Dark Room)

22. Edward Scissorhands: Best. Costume. Ever. (Photo via Tested)

23. The Queen of Hearts + Madhatter: Couples costume alert! This dynamic duo will definitely earn you the title of best-dressed pair, guaranteed. (Photo via Tested)

24. Effie Trinket: You can have so much fun with the flamboyant escort from The Hunger Games trilogy. There are so many Effie looks to choose from, but one we love the fuchsia skirt suit with a purple flower hat. (Photo via Tested)

25. Jon Snow + Ygritte: This Game of Thrones couple costume is awesome! It’ll take a lot of layers, but it’s undoubtedly a genius costume idea for Halloween. (Photo via The Verge)

26. Master Chief: Just because you’re a girl doesn’t mean you can’t be the main protagonist in Halo’s universe. A bow and a pink tutu should get your point across. (Photo via Tested)

27. Frozen: Are you as unable to let Frozen go as we are? Then pull your friends together to revel one more time in this Disney classic that took the world by (snow) storm. (Photo via Tested)

28. Hipster Disney Princesses. Grab your tightest jeans and biggest glasses and work on your snarkiest hipster drawl to perfect this smart and silly costume. (Photo via Maison Mouse)

29. Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6: This Honey Lemon costume is simply amazing — we love the illuminated balls that line her strap. What a great idea for the costume. (Photo via Neilson Barnard/Getty)

30. Ariel from The Little Mermaid: Of course, if you want to go more conventional, you do your thang. This cosplayer’s take on Ariel is a little more in line with the cartoon’s, but we LOVE that she’s got King Triton’s trident. (Photo via Neilson Barnard/Getty)

31. King Joffrey: GoT fans, check it out! This King Joffrey costume + crossbow might be the best thing you’ve seen yet. Bonus points: Be Joffrey AFTER his wedding to Margaery Tyrell to up that creepiness factor ;) (Photo via Laura Cavanaught/Getty)

32. Chewie’s Angels: This is the perfect way to take one of the most recognizable characters from Star Wars and to combine it with another hit. Grab two of your friends to be the other angels, and swap out Charlie for Chewbacca! Angel wings or a halo would be a good alternative if you don’t feel like carrying around a gun all night.

Fans who were left on the edge of their seats after watching the first part of AHS: Delicate last year won't have to wait longer for part two! Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are gearing up to pick up where their characters left off, and sinister twists are about to get much darker. While we know the focus revolves around their interactions, we can't wait to see how Gilmore Girls star Matt Czuchry fits into what's sure to be a big reveal.

Read on for a mini recap of part one of AHS: Delicateand learn all the juicy details about part two!

Recap of Kim Kardashian's involvement in AHS: Delicate

Kim Kardashian as 'Siobhan' in "American Horror Story: Delicate"

As good as Kim Kardashian is as the icy publicist Siobhan on AHS: Delicate, don't expect her to watch herself onscreen. She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and explained why she hasn't seen herself in clips of the show when Jimmy Kimmel played and unsettling one.

Her character can be seen intimidating a fertility doctor to do her bidding as she pierces the top of his neck with a long orange fingernail. She smiled before saying "It's so funny, I can't watch it back," and then added, "I get so nervous."

She even talked about the difference between filming for TV and working as an actual actress. She said, "I called my sisters and I go, 'Guys. You — not to say you'd ever want to get into acting — but you are so lucky you can wake up and just, we can sit in bed and film, and you don't have to get up...like there is no schedule."

However, it seems like the budding actress took her new schedule in stride because Star Trek actor and AHS co-star Zachary Quinto applauded Kardashian’s acting chops.

“I did a cameo on this season of ‘American Horror Story’ and I got to meet her,” the actor told People. “She was so lovely and warm and, really, I don’t think she needs my advice.” Quinto added, sharing that Kardashian, was “really in her element” on set and he was “really impressed by her spirit and her openness…I really look forward to seeing this season because I think she’s gonna do a wonderful job.”

Recap of AHS: Delicate Part 1

Image via FX Networks

The first part of AHS: Delicate premiered on FX September 20, 2023 and centered around actress Anna Victoria Alcott's desire to become a mother. Played by Emma Roberts, viewers watched as her husband Dexter Harding (played by Matt Czuchry) was supportive of her IVF procedure so the couple could conceive their first child. Despite the previous struggles, the procedure is a success and the happy couple learn they have a baby on the way.

However, things go horribly wrong when Anna starts being followed and eventually experiences a violent miscarriage during her first trimester. Somehow the baby actually survives, but Anna still experiences a series of strange hallucinations and events. From losing her hair to vomiting a foreign object, she starts to wonder if something is wrong with her baby. There's also the fact that she told her publicist Siobhan (played by Kim Kardashian) that she'd do anything to remain at the top of the her career.

What's revealed is that a baby cult does exist and Dexter's dead first wife knew all about it. However, the cult still looks at him as a threat so it's only a matter of time before they close in.

If you need a refresher, catch up on the first part of AHS: Delicate on Hulu and be sure to check out the eery trailer for a look at part two! Also, get your hands on a copy of Danielle Valentine’s novel Delicate Condition to see how the story truly unfolds.

We suspected Siobhan may have a darker role than Anna thinks and the trailer confirms it. As Anna gets further along in her pregnancy, it's hinted that her growing baby may not be 'normal' and there's nothing she'll be able to do about it.

We're crossing our fingers for Anna and Dexter, but the baby cult may have the final say in AHS: Delicate Part 2.

The first portion of AHS: Delicate Part 2 premiered on FX April 3, 2024, but the series will come to a close beginning April 24. All we can say is things are about to get extremely bumpy 👀.

What do you think will happen during the final moments of AHS: Delicate Part 2? Let us know in the comments!

When anyone asks me for my favorite movie-viewing experiences, A Simple Favor (starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick) always makes the list. When I first watched the movie, I knew next to nothing about the plot, and it made the viewing experience ten times better, especially since I had a watch party with a bunch of friends who *also* had no expectations. I know A Simple Favor 2 is going to be just as sexy, unexpected, and gripping as the original. Keep reading for everything we know about the new movie, from the A Simple Favor 2 release date to casting announcements!

What is A Simple Favor 2 about?

Image via Lionsgate

A Simple Favor 2 will see the "return of Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) as they head to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman," according to the movie's synopsis (via People). "Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square."

The first leaked images show the aforementioned extravagant wedding, with Blake Lively's Emily in a wedding dress and Anna Kendrick's Stephanie standing by her side in a gorgeous floral midi dress. While the first A Simple Favor ended with Emily in prison, I have no doubt whatsoever that we'll see her make a grand escape to coastal Italy. The only thing chicer than martinis and crime at home is martinis and crime while basking in the Italian sun.

Is there A Simple Favor 2 movie?

Image via Lionsgate

Yes, Deadline confirmed in May of 2022 that we're getting A Simple Favor 2! The sequel film will be produced by Lionsgate and Amazon Studios, and reportedly, Paul Feig will direct again, while Jessica Sharzer will write the screenplay. I still talk about the script for A Simple Favor, so if Jessica is returning, I will be seated!

When is the A Simple Favor 2 release date?

Image via Lionsgate

I'm expecting A Simple Favor 2 to hit our screens in 2025. Filming was originally scheduled for the fall of 2023, but after the Hollywood strikes delayed a variety of projects, production on the film was pushed to 2024. A Simple Favor 2 will reportedly begin filming in April of 2024.

Who's in the A Simple Favor 2 cast?

Image via Lionsgate

We can expect to see Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick return for this sequel. Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack are also set to star in A Simple Favor 2. Glee fans will also love knowing that Alex Newell is joining the cast along with Allison Janey! We can't wait to see the characters they'll be playing!

How does A Simple Favor end in the book?

Image via Amazon

The A Simple Favor book ending is *wildly* different than the movie ending! Instead of Stephanie turning on Emily and joining Sean, and then Emily getting run over by a car and put in prison for the murder of her father and sister (plus, you know, all the other illegal activity), Stephanie actually takes Emily's side.

In the book, Sean stays in a hotel while Emily gets custody of Nicky. The novel ends with the police finding Emily's ring inside the car of her main victim (a move that was probably orchestrated by Stephanie since Sean gave her the ring), and Emily deciding to pack up her life and leave.

As the weather warms up and more and more people take to the streets and trails to pick up jogging or training for their next race, you might be wondering where to start your own running journey. As a lifelong runner, 4x marathoner, and former running store employee, I believe that finding the the best running shoes for you is the first step to falling in love with running.

There are a few things to look for when buying a running shoe. If you want the personalized experience, I recommend going to a run specialty store to get fitted and have your gait analyzed. However, here are some basic tips to help if you don’t want to do that.

Image via MarathonFoto.com

First, most people wear their running shoes too small. Almost everyone I have had to fit for running shoes for the first time has had to go a half to a full size up. Remember:

  • Running shoes do not stretch like leather shoes
  • Running shoes should notneed a break in period
  • Your feet do swell when you're running and walking

A good rule to follow is that you should have a finger tip’s length between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This ensures your feet can swell properly, you won’t lose toenails, and you'll have less risk of injuries like plantar fasciitis and shin splints.

Next, there are two types of running shoes: neutral and stability shoes.

  • Neutral shoes are for people who do not overpronate
  • Stability shoes are for those who do overpronate.

Overpronation is when one’s arches and ankles collapse/roll inwards when standing on one leg, running, or walking. If you have low arches or flat feet, you will likely need a stability shoe as it will provide better arch support. Many people assume that if you have high arches you need a stability shoe with more arch support, but this is rarely the case. If you have a high arch and a neutral gait (no overpronation), you should let your feet and ankles do the work and not rely on a stability shoe. Luckily there are dozens of options for both types of feet, so let’s get into some of my favorites.

Best Running Shoes For Neutral Runners

Brooks Glycerin 21

The Glycerin 21 is a popular, highly-cushioned running shoe from Brooks. The Glycerin has become a fan favorite for its soft feel and unmatched bounce. Plus, being in its 21st iteration, you can feel secure knowing that the Glycerin has served runners well for years.

Best Running Shoes For Stability Runners

Asics GT 2000 12

The Asics GT 2000 version 12 is a lightweight and bouncy stability option from Asics. Many stability shoes feel heavy and clunky, but Asics has found a way to alleviate overpronation without sacrificing lightweight performance

Best Running Shoes For Trail Running

Brooks Cascadia 17

If you’re looking to hit the trails for a run, getting a shoe with better traction and grip is the best option. Trail shoes have lugs on the outsole that help with stabilizing your feet on wet rocks and slick mud. The Brooks Cascadia is a no frills, do it all shoe that will make trail miles fly by in comfort.

Best Running Shoes For A Lightweight Option

Hoka Mach 6

Whether you're doing sprints on the treadmill or have a 5k goal race in mind, a lightweight running shoe may be the best option for you. The Hoka Mach 6 is a neutral running shoe that weighs less than most shoes on the market, making it perfect if you want to pick up the pace or feel less weighed down.

Best Running Shoes For Looks

On Cloudeclipse

Although this is super subjective, I think On has some of the best looking running shoes out there. With a chunky midsole and a unique look, the On Cloudeclipse delivers on fashion and function. While this shoe may be categorized as neutral, there are stability elements, such as a plastic speedboard to add rigidity to the foam, making it a great shoe for people with all arch types.

Get ready to see your favorite unintentional workplace feminists hit the screen with Jennifer Aniston's reimagining of the classic comedy 9 to 5. It debuted in theaters in the early '80s, and it actually helped people start having real conversations about barriers women faced while working.

It's true that we've seen advancements since then, but we're still living in a time where certain laws (hi, reproductive rights!) have the underbelly of reverting back to a time where women didn't have a voice or choice when it came to things like working outside the home, voting, or even buying a house of their own.

Many of the women I know work in more traditional 9 to 5 roles, so it'll be interesting to see how Jennifer Aniston plans to approach this move in a modern way. Keep reading for the deets on everything we know!

What's the original plot for 9 to 5?

Image via 20th Century Fox

The 1980 version of 9 to 5 follows three women — Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton), Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin), and Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda) — as they navigate working for their sexist and cringey boss Franklin Hart, Jr. (Dabney Coleman). Through trial and error, they eventually find a way to outwit the system that's pitted against them to demand to be treated with respect in the workplace.

It's full of hilarious moments and one-liners that helped solidify it's importance in pop culture.

Who is Jennifer Aniston producing "9 to 5" with?

Image via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Aniston and her Echo Films partner Kristin Hahn are producing the new adaptation of 9 to 5.

Aniston will produce the project that is in development through her Echo Films banner, alongside her partner Kristin Hahn. Oscar-winning Juno writer Diablo Cody will pen the script. She’s also written movies like Jennifer’s Body and, most recently, Lisa Frankenstein, starring Cole Sprouse and Kathryn Newton.

Who's in the cast of the new "9 to 5"?

Unfortunately it seems like the reboot of 9 to 5 is in the early stages. As soon as cast news is shared, we'll be sure to share it with you.

Honestly, I'd love to see Reese Witherspoon or Anne Hathaway make an appearance!

Who is writing the new "9 to 5" script?

Okay, this is a good one! Diabolo Cody, known for her amazing work on Juno and Lisa Frankenstein, will be applying her talents to the new script for 9 to 5.

Was there ever a spin-off of 9 to 5? 

Yes! 9 to 5 became a sitcom on ABC where it ran from 1982 to 1983. Then two years ago Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton reunited to celebrated the greatness of 9 to 5 in a documentary called Still Working 9 to 5.
