If you’re looking to create one of the funniest and most clever Halloween costumes this year then you should set your eyes on one that pays tribute to everyone’s favorite viral moment. From a Salt Bae Halloween costume to a Snapchat hot dog filter Halloween costume, the costume options are honestly endless. Now, let’s think way back to earlier this year in April 2017, what viral social media moment caught your attention? It was definitely none other than the livestream of April the Giraffe’s birth. I mean, it’s impossible to forget–we literally waited forever for the baby boy to finally arrive. If you want to acknowledge this viral moment then you can easily create your own April the Giraffe Halloween costume this year.

You’re going to have to get pretty creative for this costume– unless you want to walk around in a literal giraffe costume on Halloween night. This t-shirt is much more practical, and not to mention hilarious. It’s time to give April some credit for surviving a 24-hour live stream of nearly her last two months of pregnancy. You can do so with this black t-shirt for less than $20 from Amazon, it also comes in brown, gray, red, and blue.

Or you can purchase the patterned leggings and opt for a simple black cami instead of the recommended t-shirt. Any way you create this costume is sure to be a hit at whatever Halloween party you’re going to this year!
