You Go, Girl!
For Halloween this year, little girls are shunning the long-popular princess costumes. Only 6 percent of children say they want to be a princess this year, while 20 percent want superhero costumes. And that not only goes for little girls: they’re popular for adults and even pets, says Lorenzo Caltagirone, owner of a costume shop in Arlington, Va. “The female superhero in particular has really taken off,” he says. “This is the year of girl power.” Popular superhero movies are driving the trend, Caltagirone says, “But then again, who doesn’t want to be a superhero? Halloween is the one day of the year you can get away with it.” Catalgirone expects Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton costumes will also be very popular.
