First in line is Drew Afualo, a TikTok sensation and podcast extraordinaire. Afualo shot to stardom by reacting to the hot takes of sexist men on TikTok. Since her viral breakthrough, she’s established a digital media empire, complete with multiple podcasts and even a forthcoming book. Building anticipation, Afualo has been sharing sneak peeks of her Halloween costumes in the days leading up to the big night.

In one of her TikToks, Afualo, along with her sister and boyfriend, all decked out as characters from the Disney classic, “Emperor’s New Groove.” But that’s just a taste of her Halloween repertoire, as she also rocked costumes such as a hot dog, a witch, and even the ‘Original American Gladiator‘ throughout the entire month.
