Lyin' Ryan Lochte: This pants-on-fire ensemble from Olympic gold medalist Lochte is bound to be a crowd-pleaser. If anyone has a problem with it, tell him you were just held up at gunpoint in a gas station and didn't have time to change. (TYR swim cap, $8.99, and Head goggles, $11.99, both at Kohls.com; tank top, $26, and swim trunks, $50, both at American Apparel.net)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T. Cooper
'Lemonade' Beyoncé: Beyoncé's film "Lemonade" became a call to arms of sorts for any woman who has ever been cheated on: In one most-excellent scene, Queen Bey roams down a street, breaking car windows with a baseball bat. This costume announces to everyone at your Halloween party that you will take no guff, and that someone had better get you a drink, stat. ("Cordelia" dress, $328 at Reformation, 156 Ludlow St.; Indigo Rd. platform sandals, $69 at Belk.com; "Cleopatra" hoop earrings, $50 at AmritaSingh.com)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T.

Scary Clown: What's up with all these scary clown sightings? From South Carolina to Maine, and even one recently blocking the entrance of a 6 train in NYC, clowns seem to be having a moment this fall. Just make sure people know you're one of the good ones. (Rubie's deluxe Pennywise deluxe Clown Costume, $49.99 at Amazon.com; clown shoes, $16.99 at SpiritHalloween.com)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T.

Ken Bone: The red-sweater-clad Everyman, who went viral after asking an intelligent question at the second presidential debate (yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's where the bar is set these days), was soon revealed to have a bit of a seedy background and a penchant for making inappropriate comments on Reddit. Oh, how quick we are to tear down our heroes! But no matter: That will only add nuance to your costume. (Pullover, $45 at OldNavy.com; shirt, $39 at JackThreads.com; glasses, similar styles for $315 at OliverPeoples.comm)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T.

The Golden Toilet: You will demonstrate true class and style with this golden toilet costume, which isn't just any blinged-out toilet -- this flusher is art, inspired by the Maurizio Cattelan's 18-karat gold "America" toilet at the Guggenheim. (My Size Potty, $34.99 at BuyBuyBaby, 270 Seventh Ave.; Krylon gold spray paint, $6.99, gold elastic, $5.99, and Velcro, $3.99, all at Michaels, 675 Sixth Ave.)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T.

Bad Brad and Angel Angelina: Now, before you get all "Noooo, Team Brad" on us, let us just say: These costumes are interchangeable. If you're siding with Pitt in what promises to be the Divorce of the Century, put the halo on him and the devil horns on her, OK? (On Brad: Gothic Devil cape, $16.99, at Claires.com; long-sleeve T-shirt, $24 at AmericanApparel.nett; devil headband, $4.99 at RickysNYC.com. On Angelina: Angel costume, $64.99 at RickysNYC.com)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T. Cooper; Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic
Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin: The notorious pair, once NYC's foremost political power duo, is separating, so this is the last Halloween you and a friend will be able to play them as a couple. Go as Weiner, who proudly proclaimed his young son to be a "chick magnet," or as Hillary Clinton staffer Abedin, who really deserves a drink (or 19) after all that she's put up with from him. (On Abedin: T-shirt, $12.99 at Amazon.com. On Weiner: T-shirt, $15 at JackThreads.com; Hanes boxer shorts, five-pack $38 at Kohls.com) Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T. Cooper
'Hamilton' ticket: Who are we kidding? Dressing up as a "Hamilton" ticket is likely the only way you're going to get near this megahit Broadway show, which currently has a few tickets available -- for May 2017. (14-by-22-inch poster board, eight-pack $3.49, and permanent markers, four-pack $6.49, both at Michaels.com)Stylist: Bree Bonagofsky; Photographer: Brian Zak; Hair and makeup: T. Cooper; Joan Marcus

Ronda Rousey: Show you're not afraid to kick butt with this athletic getup, a perfect nod to bantamweight fighter "Rowdy" Rousey, who was also the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo.
