Carbon Costume meme
Millionaire Hat Snatcher
At the 2025 US Open, a millionaire CEO made headlines when he snatched a hat that Polish tennis pro Kamil Majchrzak was gifting to a young boy in the stands. The CEO quickly stowed the hat in his wife’s tote bag, and would later remark “If you were faster, you’d have got it.” A millionaire CEO, wearing a hat no less, stealing a hat from a deserving young fan, hatless, sure is fitting in this day and age.
Phillies Karen
In a September 6, 2025 baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins, Harrison Bader planted a home run in the left field stands. After a light skirmish, a man emerged with the ball, gifting it to his young son who was celebrating his birthday. A fellow Phillies fame stormed down the row, grabbed his arm, and berating the father, yelling in his face “That’s my ball”. Seeing the Karen in her final form, he relented and handed over the ball. Thankfully, the broadcast witnessed this and both teams rewarded the boy, the Marlins with a gift bag and the Phillies with a meet with Bader and a baseball bat signed by him. This costume pairs well with the millionaire CEO who snatched a tennis hat from a young boy at this year’s US Open.
Lewis
Lewis is a Target Halloween decoration turned TikTok sensation. He is an 8 foot tall, light-up pumpkin ghoul dressed in a tattered hooded robe. He lets out eerie sounds – but also friendly greetings, in which he introduces himself as Lewis. Just don’t call him a jack-o-lantern! Target happens to carry a pumpkin mask that works perfect with this costume idea.

This costume guide features a few options to dress up as Moo Deng: a casual version with the hat/sweater/pants, a onesie, and a full costume suit.
Turkish Olympic Sharpshooter
In the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, Turkish sharpshooter Yusuf Dikeç went viral for his no frills setup and relaxed posture reminiscent of the average dad — or perhaps a hitman in disguise. No earplugs, no high-tech goggles, just a hand in his pocket was enough to win him a silver medal at the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. To go bare minimum on your costume, as Yusuf himself probably would do, all you need are black glasses, a white Turkiye shirt, and an air pistol. Add the salt-and-pepper wig or a green Nacar dive watch for the extra touch.
Raygun from the Paris 2024 Olympics
With breakdancing making its debut as an event at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games, b-girl Raygun stole the show.

Her original dance moves, like kangaroo hopping and floor writhing, quickly went viral on the internet. Unfortunately the judges saw differently, and Raygun was unable to score a single round.

Nicole Kidman from AMC Ad
Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad has quickly become an internet sensation and meme, for what reason? Simply because we love her. There have been incredible re-creations of her costume from the ad going viral on platforms like Tik Tok from conventions and even just a trip to the movies. This would be a hilarious costume for any movie-lover.
To create this costume, take a gray two-piece suit, preferably with the blazer being double breasted and add rhinestoned stripes or trim in vertical stripes on both the pants and the blazer if you’re a crafty person. If you have similar hair, wear a simple updo or you can style a wig the same way. Add a pair of heels and even a tin of popcorn to complete the look.
