Every year, a universally delightful pop culture moment comes along that you immediately know, “OMG, this is going to be it this Halloween.” And so as we all watched a truly epic Olympic Games in Paris this summer, there were a lot of contenders. Headless Marie Antoinette from the opening ceremony? The GOAT herself, Simone Biles? All good choices. But, surely, no one is more deserving of our Halloween homages than Dr. Rachel Gunn, AKA Raygun the Australian breaker. The awkwardness! The thrill of her just ~going for it~ in spite of the awkwardness! We are here for all of it. So if you’re looking for a Raygun costume this Halloween, great news: You have lots of options.
From budget costumes to high-end outfits to some creative twists on what is sure to be a popular choice, we’ve taken a look, and these are some of our favorites.
Budget Raygun
This is one of the lower-priced Raygun costumes we’ve seen, and if you’re looking for a quick, all-items-included option, this is a great bet. It is also size-inclusive, coming in sizes XS to 3XL.
While this uniform is pretty gender-neutral, this one is sized for men. So if you prefer women’s sizing, you can find that here.
Luxe Raygun
Look, are you going to pay more for this option? Yes. But if you’re going for authenticity, this is the most true-to-life version of the Australian Olympic uniform we’ve seen. Also there’s no rule against wearing each piece individually after Halloween…
Classic Raygun
We love this option for the details, including the kangaroos on the shirt and pants as well as the varied pattern on the body of the shirt and the sleeves. Amazon customers have also noted that the quality of the costume exceeded their last-minute Halloween costume expectations.
DIY Raygun
We don’t know about you, but any time we can buy a costume that doubles as an everyday wardrobe item, we feel like we’re winning. This outfit is giving Raygun without explicitly saying Raygun. Just add a hat, and people will know what you’re going for. And if they don’t, just do the “dinosaur sneaking up on you” pose. You know the one.
Professional Australian Breakdancer Funny T-Shirt
You know how on The Office, Jim always found creative ways not to wear a Halloween costume? This is like that. We respect this life choice even if we don’t understand it. (Why don’t you want to dress up? Do you hate fun and joy?) Bonus: As with the option above, you can wear this well beyond Halloween.
Kangaroo Raygun
Hear me out: Raygun herself said that her moves (“moves”) were inspired by the kangaroo. Why not combine the Olympic uniform with this (very cozy) kangaroo costume? Throw a shirt over it (you can buy it separately) and be a true Australian legend. And, honestly, it will distinguish you from the whole lot of other folks who will be going as Raygun this year!
