Today I'm continuing the tradition of sharing a collection of screen-worn costumes from the big and small screen from the past year or so to help provide some Halloween costume inspiration this year. Here are a few male costume ideas from the worlds of comic books, science fiction, true crime, action, romantic period drama and murder mystery to get your creative juices flowing.
Mr. Knight
costume from Moon Knight
First up is one of Moon Knight's alter-ego's 'Mr. Knight' from the 2022 Disney+ television series.
Oscar Isaac wore this cool white suit in the MCU show and it is one of the Moon Knight costumes which earned Meghan Kasperlik an Emmy nomination for Costume Design.
Star-Lord
costume from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
For something more out-of-this-world you could team-up with some friends and wear the new Guardians of the Galaxy team uniforms, as sported by Chris Pratt as 'Star-Lord' in Volume 3.
Costume Designer Judianna Makovsky is responsible for translating the comic book team uniforms to screen-worn costume on the big screen in 2023's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Namor
costume from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
If you're looking for something to show off your "swimmer's body", then how about Marvel's first mutant, 'Namor', recently introduced in 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Ruth E. Carter garnered another Academy Award for her work on Tenoch Huerta's Mesoamerican-inspired costume and the other designs featured in the MCU sequel.
Kang the Conqueror
costume from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
From one Marvel villain to another, and if the aquatic Namor is not up your alley, then maybe the time-travelling 'Kang the Conqueror' will be. I mean, who doesn't look good in green and purple?
The classic Avengers foe made his MCU debut in 2023's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, with Costume Designer Sammy Sheldon helping to bring his iconic look to life on the cinematic screen.
The Riddler
costume from The Batman
If you're more of a DC Comics aficionado than Marvel fan, how about the new look 'Riddler' from 2022's The Batman movie.
The serial killer look worn by Paul Dano in the movie was designed by Jacqueline Durran and I think is quite an easy one to replicate.
Joe Exotic
costume from Joe vs. Carol
From fictitious killer to a real life murder-for-hire convicted felon, the 'Tiger King' himself, flamboyant zoo operator 'Joe Exotic'.
John Cameron Mitchell sported this eccentric look in the 2022 Peacock series Joe vs. Carole and Amelia Gebler was Costume Designer on the true crime drama.
Captain Pete Mitchell
costume from Top Gun: Maverick
For a costume to take their breath away this Halloween, head into the danger zone by replicating Tom Cruise's look from the 2022 movie sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.
Marlene Stewart is the Costume Designer tasked with bringing the high-flying, motorbike-riding 'Captain Pete " Maverick" Mitchell' back to the big screen.
Lord Anthony Bridgerton
costume from Bridgerton
If you fancy stepping back in time this Halloween and feeling like a gentleman, then maybe you can take your inspiration from Netflix's scandalous romantic period drama, Bridgerton.
Jonathan Bailey's 'Viscount Anthony Bridgeton' dapper look from 2022's sophomore season of the show was designed by the Emmy-nominated Sophie Canale.
Benoit Blanc
costume from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
For those who like a little mystery in their life, what about role-playing as Daniel Craig's 'Detective Benoit Blanc' this year.
This look was designed by Jenny Eagen for vacationing on a private island of a billionaire in 2022's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Elvis Presley
costume from Elvis
And for fans of the "King of Rock and Roll" himself, how about drawing some inspiration from 2022's Elvis biopic, starring Austin Butler as the iconic Elvis Presley.
Catherine Martin's costume designs for the legendary cultural figure earned her an Academy Award nomination.
With Halloween two months away still, maybe you're thinking it's too early to be contemplating who to go as this year, but have you been to a retail store lately - the shelves are already filled with Halloween candy, costumes and decorations.
Hopefully these ten TV and movie costumes have helped, if not maybe check out these men's Halloween costume ideas from years past instead.
