Picking a Halloween costume [1] is never an easy feat. Between making sure your costume will stand out and is both comfortable and equipped for the colder Fall weather [2], there are numerous factors that contribute to your final decision. But one option that always works come Halloweentime is to channel and re-create some of the biggest pop culture moments [3] of the past year, and who better to emulate this Halloween [4] season then country-rap superstar Lil Nas X [5].
Arguably 2019's biggest star, Lil Nas X came to international fame with his breakout single "Old Town Road," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for a record breaking 19 weeks [6]. The 20-year-old genre blender later went on to release his debut EP, 7, and second hit single, "Panini," at a time when he was already recognised as a bonafide superstar. He has taken the music and fashion world by storm, and between the iconic looks he has sported in his music videos [7] to the stylish outfits he has worn to award shows [8], look to the gallery ahead for some Lil Nas X inspired Halloween costumes.
