Banksy's shredded 'Girl with Balloon' is now a Halloween costume
Banksy's "Girl with Balloon", in its shredded
form, was turned into a fun Halloween costume by a creative Redditor.
There is a week to go until Halloween and the costume ideas are rolling in. If you're not choosing to dress up as an animal, a TV star or a walking idiom, then you have one more option to try: dressing up as a viral art stunt.
Banksy's shredded "Girl with Balloon" left the art world stunned and sparked outrage, fascination, and awe. The genius artist had struck again. Many have talked about the stunt and even emulated it in their own paintings. And now Reddit user MrRicardo created a last-minute costume for his friend based on the painting.

As far as DIY costumes go, this one is quite impressive, especially since the shredded parts of the "painting" double as fashionable tassels.
The costume shows that the wearer is on the pulse of pop culture news and has a great sense of humour: two things that guarantee at least a top five spot at any local costume competition.
We know that Banksy loves a good prank. Do you think he would approve of people wearing his art to Halloween parties?
