Celebrities often have the resources to pull off some incredible Halloween costumes, but whether they decide to put in the effort is another thing. Here are some of the most and least impressive celebrity Halloween costumes:

Warner Bros.

1.Above and beyond: The Weeknd's Joker costume from 2019 that I can't believe isn't Jack Nicholson:

2.Disappointing: Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's "me, but beat up" and "Miami witch" costumes from 2020 that I can't believe are actual costumes:

3.Above and beyond: Lady Gaga's Edward Scissorhands costume from 2017 that genuinely looks straight out of the movie:

4.Disappointing: Ben Platt's '70s costume from 2017 that looks straight out of his own closet:

11.Above and beyond: Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Barbie and Ken costumes from 2016 that need no explaining:

12.Disappointing: Jeff Probst's 2015 costume that needs a "Bear" name tag to explain. (But I'm still actually confused whether it means Bear Grylls, a literal bear, or something else.)
