  1. Normani’s Motivation

    Get the look: Normani’s video for “Motivation” gave us early 00s realness with her airbrush ‘fit. Throw in hoops and slick your baby hairs down to really nail the look. 

    Bonus points: Show out in front of your friends by hitting the moves from the video!

  2. Ight Imma Head Out Meme

    Get the look: The Spongebob Squarepants "Imma Head Out" meme goes down as the most memorable meme of 2019! Take a page out of this man's book, and make it your costume this year for guaranteed laughs.

  3. Power’s Ghost And Tommy

    Get the look: Even in it's 6th and final season, Power is still dominating juicy office cooler convos every Monday after an episode airs. The show birthed one of the most dynamic on-screen duos, so why not pay homage.

    Bonus: If you're rolling as a trio, you can add a Kanan to your crew!

  4. Simone Biles

    Get the look: Simone Biles is already a decorated Olympian, but she broke the all-time record for most medals by any gymnast at the world championships by winning the balance beam competition just this month. Grab yourself a red, white or blue bodysuit. Then get crafty and make a yourself a medal, or a few.

  5. Hustlers

  6. 'Us'

    Get the look: Copy the cast of Black-ish, and get your whole family to dress up like the characters from Jordan Peele's 2019 thriller Us. Creepy? Yes. Genius? Definitely.

  7. Mary J. Blige

    Get the look: Remember Mary's epic Lifetime Achievemnet Award performance at the 2019 BET Awards? Of course, you do! There are so many Mary looks to choose from but this one is our particular fave (yes, we're bias!). Tbh, all you need is Mary's signature boots and 2-step stomp!
