With Halloween in full swing, the streets of Sheffield have seen the likes of many interesting costumes.
We asked our readers to submit photos of their favourite costumes on Instagram, and the results were amazing. From characters to monsters, the variety of costumes is truly impressive.
Kicking us off with a scare, our first submission had a spooky surprise in store for us.
This follower channelled his inner chaos while wearing the iconic mask of famous metal rock band Slipknot’s percussionist, Number 3 (Chris Fehn).
The costume brings out a menacing aura and adds on to the scare factor of Halloween.
Shrek is no stranger to the Halloween costume scene. It is definitely a popular choice every year.
Super Mario Bros. characters are also at the top. But whether it is that or the lovable ogre, these childhood characters never fail to stand out in a crowd.
Fans of the season have either opted for store-bought costumes or simply utilised face paint and headbands to add a DIY touch to their outfits.
Local nostalgic icons also made an appearance. Two friends were dressed as Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, the classic British duo from the beloved British sitcom ‘Only Fools and Horses’.
While many couples and pairs often coordinate their costumes for Halloween, this year’s festivities saw a creative trio costume that truly stood out.
Dressed as individual ingredients of a tequila shot, this group brought a refreshing twist to traditional Halloween attire.
Another experimental yet simple costume was a stunning recreation of a customisable in-game character from the popular life simulation game, The Sims.
Aside from innovative costumes, inflatable costumes like aliens, dinosaurs, and sharks have always been a fundamental part of Halloween.
One submission included a particularly eye-catching pair of a blue and pink shark duo that danced their way down West Street, posing for pictures.
From Instagram to TikTok, people have been buzzing about the latest fashion trend, the Leopard Look.
The trend has seen individuals painting their faces with intricate leopard spots and wearing leopard print outfits from head to toe.
One submission embraced the trend by sharing with us her fiercest leopard look.
From the stoic Levi Ackerman from ‘Attack on Titan’ to the powerful Ogun Montgomery of ‘Fire Force’, fans of Japanese animations or anime showcased their costumes by cosplaying as their favourite characters.
Halloween is not just for those who enjoy a good scare but also a time for creativity, self-expression, and pure enjoyment.
