You can even add a cardboard tray with some fake movie tickets for extra authenticity.
- Social Media Influencer
In the age of social media, going as a social media influencer is both relevant and easy to assemble. All you need is a trendy outfit, a smartphone, and some playful props like oversized sunglasses and a faux microphone. Don’t forget to strike those iconic influencer poses and capture the attention of the party with your social media-inspired costume.
