Here are 7 famous movies and TV shows that you can pull from to create the perfect Halloween Costume for 2026. 

1. Shuri — Black Panther

Who says Halloween has to be all about witches and vampires? Channel your inner Wakandan princess with a Shuri-inspired costume. Letitia Wright’s Shuri is a brilliant inventor, royal and, eventually, the Black Panther herself.

For a more powerful Halloween moment, recreate Shuri’s Black Panther look with a sleek black superhero suit, metallic gold and silver accents and claw-like details. Want something a little more fashion-forward? Go for her signature Wakandan-inspired royal looks and pile on the accessories.

 You’re not just dressing up; you’re becoming a superhero with claws, vibranium, and enough power to protect an entire kingdom. Talk about a Halloween slay.
