**If It Were Up to Coco Gauff, Every Day Would Be Halloween!**
Coco Gauff, the 20-year-old American tennis star, has had her share of ups and downs on the court this season. While her 2024 season saw some remarkable highlights, including title victories at the ASB Classic and the China Open, Gauff has also faced challenges. Despite the pressures of her sport, one thing remains constant—her love for Halloween. As the spooky season approaches, Gauff’s excitement is palpable, and she’s not shy about sharing it with her millions of followers.
Gauff’s enthusiasm for Halloween is well known among her fans. She has spoken repeatedly about how much she enjoys the holiday and all the spooky fun that comes with it. With Halloween just around the corner, the tennis sensation has already started celebrating and couldn’t wait to share her joy with her followers on social media.
**Halloween Season Kicks Off Early**
On a recent Monday, Gauff took to Instagram to give her fans a glimpse of her Halloween spirit. In a series of Instagram stories, she posted a variety of Halloween-themed content, showing just how much she embraces the season. One of the standout moments was a short video featuring a creepy doll, whose friendly expression quickly turned terrifying. Clearly enjoying the humor in it, Gauff captioned the post, “Why she switch up on me like that? Like I thought we were friends again!?” Her lighthearted commentary showed her playful side and gave fans a fun look into how she enjoys spooky season.
In another story, Gauff shared a picture of herself standing outside a venue advertising “Halloween Horror Nights,” one of the most popular haunted attractions in the U.S. Along with the photo, she wrote, “Spooky szn is the best time of the year,” reaffirming her deep love for this time of year. The post sparked excitement among her followers, many of whom look forward to seeing how Gauff celebrates Halloween each year.
**A Love for Dressing Up**
While Gauff’s on-court persona is all about power, precision, and focus, off-court she lets her creativity and playful side shine, especially when it comes to Halloween costumes. In one of her Instagram stories, Gauff shared a throwback photo of herself in a 70s-inspired floral outfit, clearly enjoying the chance to dress up for an event. “The theme was 70s,” she wrote in the caption, giving fans a taste of her retro style for that occasion.
This is far from the first time Gauff has expressed her love for Halloween. Over the years, her passion for the holiday has become one of her most endearing traits. From childhood, Gauff has loved dressing up, and as she’s grown into a global tennis star, that love has only intensified.
“I’ve always been passionate about Halloween since I was a kid,” Gauff said at a pre-tournament press conference ahead of the WTA Finals in Cancun last year. “I always loved to dress up. I would do it, like, year-round. I’ve always talked about wanting to go to [do] cosplay, the conventions, and all of that.” Fans may remember that in 2021, she channeled her inner sleuth by dressing up as Velma from *Scooby-Doo*, a costume she fondly considers one of her favorites.
**Coco’s Iconic Costumes Through the Years**
Gauff’s Halloween outfits have become something of an annual tradition for her fanbase. In 2022, she made waves when she dressed up as Raven from *Teen Titans*, tapping into the mystical, brooding side of the character. Her attention to detail and creativity didn’t go unnoticed, and fans appreciated the effort she put into her costume.
By 2023, Gauff had embraced the idea of going darker with her costumes, as she dressed up as a movie villain, though she has kept the specifics of that costume more under wraps. Her willingness to experiment with different personas has only added to her Halloween charm, as each year fans eagerly anticipate what she’ll come up with next.
**Family Fun, With a Little Persuasion**
While Coco Gauff herself is deeply invested in Halloween, her family doesn’t quite share the same enthusiasm for the spooky holiday. In fact, Gauff has often admitted that she has to “force” them to participate in the festivities.
Speaking again during that same pre-WTA Finals conference last year, Gauff said with a laugh, “With my family, honestly only three members of my family, or two, one actually, Cameron is the only one who is really keen to doing it. The rest I just kind of force to do it.” Despite the challenges of getting her family into the Halloween spirit, Gauff’s determination remains strong.
In a more recent interview, she humorously recounted the struggle of getting her dad and brother, Codey, to cooperate for a family Halloween photo. “We have some funny videos of us trying to get pictures together,” Gauff said. “My dad is fed up. Codey is fed up. They don’t care about Halloween that much, but they do it for me. You can see their costumes are the least effort amount. This year they just had to put on a mask,” she added, revealing just how much of a team effort it is to keep the Halloween tradition alive in the Gauff household.
**What Will Coco Gauff and Her Family Wear This Year?**
As Halloween 2024 approaches, all eyes are on Coco Gauff to see what she and her family will dress up as this year. Will she once again tap into her love of animated characters, or will she take inspiration from another spooky villain? One thing is for sure: whatever Gauff decides, it’s bound to be creative, bold, and just a little bit spooky.
For now, fans can enjoy the build-up as Gauff continues to share glimpses of her Halloween preparations on social media. Whatever costume she chooses, it’s clear that Coco Gauff’s love for Halloween is here to stay—and she’s more than happy to bring her family along for the ride.
