Celebrity Halloween Costume Inspo

At a loss when it comes to this year’s costume concept? No need to fear--rather than call the witch doctor, summon iconic Halloween looks of the past from your favorite celebs to spark inspiration. Spooky or not, each of the following ten ensembles is guaranteed to put guests under your spell. Entering the time warp…

  1. Cardi B as Cruella de Vil (2017)

Who wouldn’t want to party with Cardi? Her head-to-toe Disney villain attire cements her status as the queen of Halloween.

2. Nicole Scherzinger as Cleopatra (2017)

The actress reigned over all end-of-October festivities in an intricately-detailed ensemble harkening back to the former ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt. Bright blue and gold-flecked eyes--as well as bold brows--heightened the authenticity of the costume.

3. Heidi Klum as a Robot (2010)

Heidi, is that you? The model was unrecognizable as she paraded in stilts, covered in purple latex in order to achieve the ultimate high-tech look. 

4. Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban as Sonny & Cher (2017)

Although not a singer herself, the reality TV star fooled the crowd as she dressed in a bedazzled two-piece reminiscent of her icon’s wardrobe. Complete with Cheban as her arm candy, Kardashian put on a convincing “performance.”

5. Rihanna as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (2014)

The singer was keen on green this Halloween--and not the gory type. Rihanna’s tribute to the crime-fighting green figurine hailed her not just a superstar but a superhero as well.

6. Gigi Hadid as Mary Poppins (2018)

In honor of the live-action remake of the classic Disney film, the model decided to pay homage to the legacy of the magical nanny. Indeed, the realistic portrayal of Poppins was a work of magic in itself. 

7. Kourtney and Kim Kardashian as Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe (2017)

Legends only! The sisters’ salute to music icons of the past was worthy of a standing ovation.

8. Alessandra Ambrosio as the Queen of Hearts from Alice In Wonderland (2013)

Ambrosio took a detour from her typical strut down the Victoria’s Secret catwalk, instead deciding to take a walk to Wonderland with a tribute to the ruthless monarch. The only thing missing? A flamingo croquet mallet. 

9. Khloe Kardashian as Storm from X-Men (2016)

The magical Marvel superhero seems to have come to life thanks to Kardashian’s metallic makeup and blue contact lenses. Who knew comic characters could be so spooky?

10. Beyoncé and Jay Z as Barbie and Ken (2016)

Who runs the world? Beyonce, of course, especially dressed as a female empowerment hero figurine. Forget Barbie’s dream house--with her husband and daughter in tow, the singer has all she needs to achieve the perfect Halloween.
