Pop Girlies Dominated 2024 - Here's Who You Should Be For Halloween
If you need inspiration for your Halloween costume this year, these pop girls are your favourite references, baby.
2024 has been quite the year for the next generation of pop stars; it's blessed us with multiple hits from the pop girls of the moment such as Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Laufey, each of whom has not only dropped amazing music, but many unforgettable looks too - Roan's Rabanne chainmail ensemble at this year VMA awards seem destined to go down in the history books. This Halloween, why not pay homage to the pop girls who have graced us with many earworms for our summer playlists? Here are some iconic looks from this year and how you can recreate them.
SABRINA CARPENTER
With the success of her new album Short n' Sweet, Sabrina Carpenter has cemented herself as Gen Z's Polly Pocket-sized icon. Her outfits toe the line between sweet and sensuous with low-cut sweetheart necklines and sparkling skin-tight corsets. Most emblematic of her tongue-in-cheek style is her outfit from her performance of her newest hit, Taste, at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
