Halloween season is upon us, and no one could be more excited than actress Angel Locsin! She and her beau Neil Arce have been avid fans of the holiday even before they got hitched—pre-pandemic, you could count on the couple to show up in the most over-the-top costumes every year!
This time around, Angel and Neil are celebrating the spooky occasion at home with none other than a Squid Game motif. Obsessed with the K-drama like the rest of the world, the couple pulled out all the stops to recreate the show's set, costumes, and props. As seen on their latest vlog, they've set out to try the challenges from the show with friends Carlo Trillo, Bubbles Paraiso, Jess Sto. Domingo, and Jamie Laciste.
Thanks to event stylist Dave Sandoval, Angel and Neil's backyard was completely transformed into a compressed version of the Squid Game set. From the childlike blocks and staircases to the lifesize Red Light, Green Light doll, all of the show's iconic elements were present.
Of course, such a celebration wouldn't be complete without the right costumes. While Angel, Carlo, Jess and Jamie were in green tracksuits as the contestants, Bubbles was in a red boiler suit as a guard. Playing the Front Man was Neil, who was in head-to-toe black, complete with the mask. Now that's dedication!
If you're curious as to where Angel and her friends got their tracksuits from, you're not alone. Thankfully, a quick look at her caption led us to the page of local shop Praco. You have to admit, the outfits they had made for the actress were basically identical to the ones the characters in the show wore. Preview reached out to the brand, and we got to know about the process of making these costumes, and how we can get our hands on them as well.
All of Praco's pieces are made to order, and Angel's custom order was no exception. "About a week before October 14, their team reached out to us via Instagram asking if can make a custom outfit for Angel and her [friends]... Our usual made-to-order turn around time is about a week or two but we made it possible for them to have it in just one week," the owner Johanne Dalogdog explains. He continues, sharing that, "surprisingly... they didn't have that many requests [for] customizations, we just showed them our existing size chart and they just gave their preferred [measurements]. They [were] very easy to work with."
If you look through Praco's Instagram feed, you'd see that they actually also have a Squid Set, comprised of tracksuits inspired by the show. If you're wondering how these are different from the ones Angel got, the owner states that, "our Squid Game-inspired tracksuit is made from a different fabric... Our Squid Set [is for those who are fans] of the show [that] want to express [their love for it] through fashion." Further described as "a fashionable and wearable take on the Squid Game player outfit," the Squid Set comes in three captivating pastel colors: flesh, plum, and mint.
Of course, if you really want to achieve the full Squid Game look like Angel, you can also order one from Praco! All you need to do is to message them through Instagram and to refer to their provided size chart. Take note though that your order will be done anytime between one to two weeks, depending on their production timeline. While you're at it, it would also be a great idea to grab one of their fresh Squid Set suits. What better way to signify your love for the show, right?
