Major moments: Deaths of beloved television characters are always tragic, but one such event on Game of Thrones this year took TV martyrdom to another level. The heartbreaking loss of gentle giant Hodor was one of the most memorable (and meme-able) plot developments of season six. POPSUGAR received over 39 million views to Game of Thrones content during season six, and #HoldTheDoor trended on Twitter for days after the traumatic Hodor-centric episode, so we're confident that the series-favorite character will be on everybody's mind (and costume list) when Halloween rolls around.
How to create it at home: Want to honor Hodor this Halloween? Here's what you'll need:
A brown cloak or sheet
Leather belts
Aged-looking boots, like these ($100, originally $250)
A box of bran cerealHodor's outfit is a simple brown garment with boots and leather straps for carrying Bran on his back, so you can replicate the look with belts and your brown sheet fabric. Of course, Hodor is nothing without Bran; strapping the box of bran cereal to your back will ensure that people understand your costume and have a giggle about the witty substitution. Get the full Hodor tutorial here.
Honorable mentions: Game of Thrones girl squads (Daenerys, Cersei, Sansa, Arya, Yara, and Missandei) were a popular cosplay at Comic-Con this year and are a great idea for groups. Plus, with the insane revelation about Jon Snow's parentage in season six, we wouldn't be surprised if he proved popular with guys on Halloween.

Major moments: Diehard Starbucks fans love to show off their obsession on Halloween, dressing up as frothy Frappuccinos or drawing other caffeinated costume inspiration from the brand. The so-called "rainbow drinks" (variations of Starbucks Refreshers and fruity teas that show off the color spectrum) blew up Instagram over the Summer, leading our Food editors and resident Starbucks aficionados to call them out as early Halloween favorites. Because Starbucks is a widely beloved brand and the Insta-famous drinks are an easy costume to replicate, we totally agree with their prediction!
How to create it at home: If your group of friends wants to re-create the rainbow drinks, you'll need:

BEYONCÉ'S LEMONADE
Major moments: Beyoncé's Lemonade visual album premiere on HBO drew an impressive 787,000 viewers when it debuted on April 23, andall 12 tracks from the album rested comfortably on the Billboard Hot 100 charts following its release. Lemonade quickly became a cultural phenomenon, sparking political controversy and inspiring fashion trends . . . which is exactly why it makes a great costume idea. The iconic look from "Hold Up" is a great way to channel Bey's flawless fierceness, especially considering that you only need a few key pieces to re-create the get-up for Halloween.
How to create it at home: Here's what you'll need to rock Bey's look on Halloween:
A mustard-yellow maxi dress, like this one ($385)
A wooden baseball bat
Strappy heelsIf you don't have a bat (which is inscribed with "Hot Sauce" in the Lemonade video), you can simply carry a purse stuffed with a bottle of Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce. Get the full Beyoncé's Lemonade tutorial here.
Honorable mentions: The yellow dress and baseball bat outfit from the Lemonade visual album is already iconic, but Bey rocked other memorable looks that could make great costumes. Keep your eyes peeled for long pigtail braids and wide-brimmed hats at Halloween parties. And who could forget "Becky with the good hair" from the song "Sorry," which caused so much drama in the Beyhive? Plus, girl squads are sure to create group costumes inspired by "Formation."
