What Is The 'No Revenge' Halloween Costume Trend?
In mid-September 2024, a TikToker went viral after posting a video of her Halloween 2024 costume splayed out on her bed. The video, captioned "no revenge because this is my Halloween outfit," gained over 7.5 million views in a month. While not a whole lot of people got on board with the trend at first, it took off in October leading up to Halloween.
But what does the TikToker mean when she writes, "No revenge?" Well, in this case, she's suggesting that the costume, a two-piece, rhinestone-encrusted bikini, is going to turn a lot of heads in her direction. The implication is that she's going to be getting attention from others because of the costume, which will in turn make her ex jealous, which is revenge enough in her books.
