When it comes to Halloween, the KarJenners are known for their love of the spooky holiday, and Kim Kardashian is no exception.
The fashion mogul's bold sense of style translates to her over-the-top costumes, with Kardashian often creating an original concept for her Halloween looks. In 2021, the star blended two classic costumes (a cowgirl and a robot) to form a futuristic "cowbot," designed by one of her go-to labels, Mugler.
And for as many costumes as Kardashian creates, she also inspires them. Her shocking look at the 2021 Met Gala (a Balenciaga ensemble that covered her entire body) was turned into a costume by online fashion retailer Yandy as a way for fans to recreate her infamous fashion moment.
From a sexy Victoria's Secret angel to a family-friendly bright pink spider, here's a look back at some of Kim Kardashian's best Halloween costumes.
