10 Halloween Costumes Inspired by Social Media Trends

There's maybe nothing scarier than the influence of a viral meme. So for Halloween this year, you can channel the internet's most harebrained content with a costume inspired by one of the many social media trends that took over your feed. From the Twitter account that documented every instance Rihanna brought a wine glass out with her in public, to the snake emoji, which was temporarily banned by Instagram for its malicious use in the spamming of Taylor Swift, these ideas are guaranteed to help you go viral this Halloween. And if you don't know what we're talking about, then maybe it's time to brush up on your memes.
