Iconic Emoji Costumes

This Emoji Costume is Meant for a Pair of Besties

It's no surprise that emoji costumes are set to take Halloween by storm this year. Emojis have practically become their own form of communication. You can now have long text exchanges without typing a single word. Why would you, when everything you need to say can be expressed in a single emoji of clinking beer mugs?

This Emoji costume, first featured on Surface Mag's Instagram account, is of the two dancing twins. The dancing twin emoji is most commonly used to express best friendship. The message is clear: we are so close, we are completely in sync. Twinsies!

If you and your best friend want to do a costume together, this one is a no-brainer! No one will doubt your everlasting commitment to one another.
