The Best Celebrity Halloween Costumes Ever

Celebrity Halloween costumes are a highlight of the spooky season, because you can always count on the stars to pull out all the stops when it comes to dressing up…even during a pandemic.

Need proof? Just take a look back at the very extra celebrity Halloween costumes over the years, from Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban (who did a next-level take on Sonny and Cher) to Cardi B. And let’s not forget the Halloween queen herself, Heidi Klum, who each year somehow tops her costume from the one before. We especially love when celebs channel classic Halloween movies, like the time Demi Lovato went as Pennywise from It.

There are other standout celebs, like Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, who never disappoint. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, meanwhile, are starting to become perennial favorites. (Their Gomez and Morticia Addams look? Incredible!)

Looking back at 2020, Paris Hilton kicked off #HalloweenatHome by dressing up as…well, everything hot. Whatever the celebrity Halloween costume idea, stars are always taking their spooky themes to new heights. Here are the most epic (and in some cases, most over-the-top) celebrity Halloween costumes of all time. Maybe they’ll inspire your own—and if not, we have plenty of Halloween makeup ideas to try instead.
