(L-R): Paris Hilton, Chloe Bailey, Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler, Demi Lovato

Do you feel a chill in the air or an urge to discourse about the relative merits of candy corn? That’s because it’s Halloween, baby! While many ghosts, goblins, and Carmys from The Bear got their spooky on this past weekend, there are still a couple more hours of Halloween to go. If you want to stay in the spirit—or need some inspiration for a last-minute costume—read on for some of our favorite celeb looks of the year.

Megan Thee Stallion

To the delight of some fans and probably wig stores everywhere, Megan and MGK really did the rounds this Halloween. Here they are as Gogo Yubari and The Bride from Kill Bill.

Halsey

Halsey

Halsey debuted an intoxicating look as a siren at Michael Braun’s Halloween party. Per a post on the singer’s Instagram page, her boyfriend Avan Jogia was also in attendance as a hapless sailor.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton

This one’s pretty easy to figure out. Paris Hilton poses as a mushroom (or maybe as Toad from The Super Mario Bros. Movie?) at Michael Braun’s Halloween party.

Megan Fox and MGK weren’t the only ones to pull off two great costumes this Halloween. Paris Hilton does it again as an incredibly accurate Britney Spears from the “Toxic” video.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato

Disney’s live-action Snow White may have been delayed to 2025, but Demi Lovato is getting ahead of the game with this princess-inspired look. Maybe they’ll release a rock version of “Someday My Prince Will Come” at some point.

Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, and Lili Reinhart

Riverdale may be over, but—luckily—stars Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, and Lili Reinhart’s yearly group costume tradition is not. This year, the three went as Cat Woman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn from the DC Comics.

Ariana Grande and Liz Gillies

The Riverdale girls weren’t the only former costars to do a joint costume this year. Ariana Grande reunited with former Victorious costar Liz Gillies for a glittery tour through the film Showgirls. They even recreated a whole scene!

Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker

Pete Davidson strikes again! This year, 2/3 of Boygenius went as that iconic photo of Pete and Ariana Grande, lollipop and all. That’s Lucy Dacus under the hat and Julien Baker in the wig.

Ice Spice

This year, the “Deli” singer went as icon Betty Boop, which she dubbed “Wetty Boop” for the evening.

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler

He’s not Elvis this time! Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber attended the annual Casamigos Halloween Party as Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick.

Justin Bieber and Finneas

Finneas and Justin Bieber

At least these two followed SAG-AFTRA’s rules about costuming, even their costumes aren’t the most inspired. Here are musicians Finneas and Justin Bieber as a member of Blink-182 (Travis?) and an anonymous snorkeler.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber

Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford

Ooh ooh ooh honey! Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford arrived at the party dressed as Danny and Sandy from Grease (with the perfect coif to boot).

Victoria Justice

Victoria Justice

Victoria Justice may not be able to turn back time, but she was able to show up to the Casamigos party as Cher!

Christina Aguilera

Victoria Justice wasn’t the only Cher this year. Christina Aguilera’s costume was a tribute to her Burlesque co-star and “the OG trailblazer.”

Kyle MacLachlan and Desiree Gruber

Kyle MacLachlan and Desiree Gruber

The SAG-AFTRA costume rules forced some celebrities to get, er, extra creative. We’re interpreting Kyle MacLachlan’s costume as some sort of pickleball zombie and Desiree Gruber’s as a rabid animal control worker?

Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi

She may be out as the host of Top Chef, but that certainly didn’t stop Padma Lakshmi from dressing up as the big bad wolf after eating Little Red Riding Hood, cape and all!

Chloe Bailey

Chloe Bailey

Cat Woman had a big year this year! Chloe Bailey dresses as the DC character for Bette Midler’s Annual Hulaween Bash.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos

Talk about makeup skills! Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos attend Bette Midler’s party in gorgeous Día de Muertos outfits.
