Time is running thin, so tap the video below to dive into the BEST Halloween costume ideas for Asian people.
👇👇👇
Otherwise, let’s get into the truncated list here:
1. Chinese Roast Pork Chef 🍖
Ever been to your fave Chinese BBQ spot? You know who's always there for you - the Chinese Roast Pork Chef. Get a wife beater, a chef's hat, a fake cleaver (don’t wanna chop any toes off while you’re six sojus deep), a real cigarette, and maybe a stuffed pig or duck on a meat hook. Easy and unforgettable!
2. (Literally) Howl’s Moving Castle 🏰
Tired of Studio Ghibli clichés? Well, do you like ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’? Of course you do. My next suggestion is to become a literal fking moving castle. All you need is cardboard, paint, and fabric for straps. I think this is a rare instance where it’s OK to explain your costume, it’ll hit either way. (Howling is optional).
3. The United Flight Passenger Who Got Dragged off the Airplane ✈️
A bold statement costume with a story.
The story goes that in 2017, Dr. Dao was asked to involuntarily leave his seat on an oversold flight, but resisted citing that he had patients to see the next morning.
Guess what? United and local police did not give a FUCK. But Dr. Dao got his, to the tune of $140M in a settlement.
Get a dark grey shirt, lightweight grey sweats, dad tennis shoes, glasses askew on the face is key, and fake blood is optional.
4. Kimi Watanabe-Finster from Rugrats 🍼
It’s no surprise that Rugrats’ dad Chas Finster married Japanese. Major 90 Day Fiancee vibes. You can get like his step-daughter Kimi Watanabe-Finster, brother of the GOAT Chuckie.. Grab a yellow dress, a pink shirt, dark blue wig with 3 pig tails, and cowboy boots, purple if you got em.
5. Cajun Crawfish Boil 🦞
It’s funny, OK? For the cajun crawfish enthusiasts among us, you can turn your kids into a Cajun Crawfish Boil! Grab one of those live-action crab costumes from Target. If you have kids you like less, make them the sausage or corn!
6. Chinese Lion Dance for Dogs 🐶
Your ABG-ass dog deserves some costume love too! Get a Chinese Lion Dance costume for your dog. Trust me, it’s a showstopper for Halloween, Chinese New Year, weddings, and any Boba shop grand opening.
7. Uncle Chan from Jackie Chan Adventures 🥋
Anyone remember that Jackie Chan plays an archaeologist in his cartoon? This isn’t about Indiana Chan tho. Dress up as Uncle Chan with a yellow vest, grey wig, fake mustaches, short-sleeve button-up, and tiny glasses. Don’t forget the classic “hi-yaaa!” throughout the night.
8. Land Lady from Kung Fu Hustle 👵
“Kung Fu Hustle” was made in an era where making Asian people the butt of the joke came easy. But this movie makes Asians the butt of the joke AND the stars. We like it that way. Channel Kung Fu Hustle with the Land Lady costume. All you need is a white-ish nightgown, a cigarette, hair rollers, and red slippers. A black belt (earned, not bought) doesn’t hurt either.
Honorable Mentions:
Remember, it's not just about the costume; it's about celebrating our Asian culture and having a blast with it in kind.
