Here are 28 of our favorite celebrity Halloween costumes to inspire you this year.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
A few months before the celebrity couple tied the knot in May 2019, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner celebrated the 2018 spooky season as Gomez and Morticia Adams, the parents of The Addams Family. From the makeup, the costumes, and the incorporation of Thing, this look was definitely mysterious and spooky.
Kristen Bell
Known for voicing Anna in Frozen, Kristen Bell can’t seem to “let it go!” Of course when her daughter requested for them to dress up as Elsa from their favorite Disney movie, how can she say no? A good mom award is deserved here.
Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams
Modern Family alum Sarah Hyland and Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams are a power couple to say the very least. In 2018, they put their humor and creativity together for probably one of the best couple’s costumes ever; Taco Belle. Who doesn’t love a good pun, or trip to Taco Bell?!
Beyoncé
Queen B slayed Halloween 2016 as a Barbie with her husband, Jay-Z, dressed as Ken to match. This retro swimsuit transformed her into a classic and vintage 1960s Barbie doll that was even complete with the packaging!
Martha Stewart
Never fear, Fairy God-Martha is here! In 2020, Martha Stewart shared a throwback picture of one of her most iconic Halloween looks. As a nod to Wicked, Martha recreated the signature look of Glinda The Good Witch, with her own creative twist and tons of pink tule, of course!
Stormi Webster
She gets it from her mother! When Stormi was dressed as Kylie Jenner recreating her 2019 Met Gala look for Halloween, the internet pretty much went into cuteness overload. Stormi was definitely the best dressed 2 year old trick or treating this year.
LeBron James
When It: Chapter One released just in time for spooky season in fall 2017, terrifying clowns were everywhere. LeBron James hopped on the creepy circus character trend and attended the Cleveland Cavaliers annual Halloween party as an extra tall Pennywise the clown. The costume was not complete without the iconic Pennywise dance, which of course Lebron demonstrated on the dance floor throughout the night.
Gigi Hadid
SssOMEBODY STOP HER! With the help of her glam team, Gigi Hadid brought Jim Carrey’s character of The Mask to life for Halloween 2019. From the intricate makeup, the vibrant suit, and accessories to match, Hadid recreated a totally chic version of The Mask.
Kevin Hart
Styled In a black turtleneck, a fanny pack, and a chain necklace, Kevin Hart dressed as actor Dwanye Johnson for Halloween in 2019. If you ask us, he nailed this iconic ‘90s look. Bonus points for the wig and even the napkin under his elbow!
Kourtney Kardashian
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star pushed pause on reality TV to get a taste of the pop star lifestyle. She transformed herself into singer Ariana Grande for the day by wearing a long blonde ponytail, light pink dress and over-the-knee boots with a microphone in hand.
Teresa Giudice
This celeb from Real Housewives of New Jersey showed off her best Game of Thrones costume at a Halloween costume party at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in Florida. To get into character, she wore a spooky chic getup in all black that gives us Khaleesi-meets-The-Night’s-Watch vibes.
Demi Lovato
It’s no secret this star loves Halloween. In “Halloween round one,” the singer, songwriter and actress claimed the throne and the whole holiday in her charming version of Marie Antoinette. As if one costume was enough to celebrate the holiday, Lovato glammed up Pennywise the clown in frills and facepaint.
Carmen Electra
Actress, singer, model and fierce feline? The entertainer celebrated Halloween early as a snow leopard. She took the classic black cat costume and added a fun twist with a tight leopard jumpsuit, neon yellow nails, spiked black headband and leopard face makeup.
Dorothy Wang
Dorothy Wang kicked off the holiday as a femme-fierce ninja donning a black leather bodysuit with edgy fingerless gloves, and and a slicked-back braided hairstyle.
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum’s Halloween spirit yet again goes unmatched. Klum has a history of going all-out, dressing in full costume makeup and is usually completely unrecognizable. This year was no different, as she stepped out after 13 hours of hair and makeup (😱), as a full-blown extraterrestrial.
Kailyn Lowry
The Teen Mom star covered her face with a mask of makeup to dress as a skeleton for Halloween. But, her version of the bag of bones had much more vitality than the declining human structures. Wearing purple face makeup adorned with crystal rhinestones, the celeb breathed some new life into the holiday’s theme of demise.
Nina Dobrev
Nina Dobrev has already had two costume changes this Halloween season. First, she channeled her inner Billie Eilish by wearing layered chain necklaces, adding a touch of green in her hair and painting black teardrops on her face. Then, she wowed Instagram with her creative costume idea as the Chanel runway crasher during Paris Fashion Week.
Gabrielle Union
The actress and her mini me turned up the holiday spirit as cheerleaders from Bring It On. They wore green cropped shirts and flared mini skirts with matching yellow ribbons in their hair. The series of photos she posted on Instagram show a little muscle and a lot of attitude.
Jessica Biel
After past footage of Jessica Biel admitting she isn’t a fan of NSYNC resurfaced, the model and actress decided to make up it by dressing up as her husband, Justin Timberlake, from his boy band glory days in the ‘90s. She brought in some laughs and feelings of nostalgia in a curly blonde wig and teal jumpsuit while her husband dressed as a microphone.
Lisa Rinna
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took a stab at transforming herself into Jennifer Lopez. She wore a costume inspired by the green Versace gown that J.Lo wore to the Grammys in 2000.
Halsey
Halloween is no match for Halsey. The celeb proved she could pull off a gothic look by dressing as Marilyn Manson and a girly, glittery costume as Cher. From pale makeup and a bright red wig to long, dark hair and blue eyeshadow, Halsey can do it all.
Lele Pons
The Youtube star and singer embraced the horror in Halloween this year. First, she dressed as the evil Maleficent in a long black cape, horns and a corset. Then, she made a quick costume change into Victoria from Corpse Bride by painting her hair blue and her skin a chalky white and wearing a tattered wedding dress.
Kelly Osbourne
This celeb took the idea of a classic clown costume but made it scary chic. With her purple wig tied into pigtails, her carefully contoured face and her button-up plaid shirt, she redefined every child’s worst nightmare.
Cardi B
We probably wouldn’t trust Cardi B to take our temperature or give us a flu shot, but her nurse costume definitely gives us some Halloween inspo. Her over-the-knee red boots, white dress and stethoscope accessory make medical professions look trendy.
Liam Payne
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s Liam Payne! The singer celebrated Halloween as Superman in a shirt with the Superman logo, a blazer and trousers. He made the superhero look sleek, and he made fighting villains look fashionable.
Liza Koshy
Some enjoy giving others a fright by choosing the spooky approach to Halloween costumes. Others would rather use the opportunity to go all out with punnery. Liza Koshy decided to go with the latter in an Anna Wintour look, captioning her photo: "Halloween is here and Wintour is coming."
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is a Halloween queen. Her entire Instagram feed and profile photo at the moment are full of Halloween costumes and a spooky black-and-white aesthetic. Her bio even says, “This is Halloween.” One of her latest Halloween getups is her take on The Nightmare Before Christmas in a patchwork dress and stitches painted on her face.
Camila Mendes
With over 2 million likes, this Rick and Morty costume was definitely a fan favorite. Camila Mendes showed off her take on the sitcom with a blue bob and trench coat. To top it off, she even painted drool on her chin.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty celebrated their first Halloween together as a married couple, and they blew it out of the water in their Harley Quinn and Joker costumes. Minaj rocked fishnet stockings, long pigtails with patches of dye, blue metallic shorts and a fitted white shirt.
