Celebrities brought it with their Halloween costumes this year, and we're inspired
Whew, what a wild (and long) Halloween ride. Celebrities have been giving us costume inspo in spades for more than a week now, and now that it’s November, we have to look back on all the best transformations. And look: Yes, Heidi Klum may be the unofficial queen of costumes every year, but we’d say she got some serious competition this time around. (We’re looking at you, Halsey and Demi Lovato. You too, Nina Dobrev. We see your effort.)
The best celebrity Halloween costumes this year included stars dressing up as other stars they love, mother-daughter twinning costumes that are, frankly, too cute for words, and couples’ costumes that aren’t too sappy to wear to your friend’s party. (Please, immediately scroll down to Ciara and Russell Wilson.)
Scroll through to see our favorite celebrity Halloween costumes that we might just steal for our looks next year.
Ashley Graham as Jessica Rabbit
Macho Man knocked up Jessica Rabbit for Halloween
A post shared by A S H L E Y G R A H A M (@ashleygraham) on Oct 27, 2019 at 12:25pm PDT
She’s not bad; she’s just drawn that way. Ashley Graham absolutely slayed as Jessica Rabbit. The makeup? The gloves? It was all perfect.
Stormi Webster as Kylie Jenner
My baby!!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 i cant handle this!!!!
A post shared by Kylie ✨ (@kyliejenner) on Oct 27, 2019 at 5:54pm PDT
Um, we can’t handle how cute this is. Stormi dressed up as her mom, Kylie Jenner, in monochrome lavender at the Met Gala. These two love to twin, and we love it every time.
Kylie Jenner and Stassie Karanikolaou as Madonna and Britney Spears
A post shared by Kylie Jenner News (@kyliesnapchat) on Oct 27, 2019 at 12:48am PDT
Jenner and her BFF recreated that iconic kiss between queens of pop, Madonna and Britney Spears, at the VMAs.
Kylie Jenner as a Playboy bunny
A post shared by Kylie Jenner News (@kyliesnapchat) on Oct 28, 2019 at 11:23pm PDT
Of course, no Kardashian or Jenner is done after just one Halloween costume. Kylie paid homage to her Playboy shoot in her second costume of the week.
Kylie Jenner as Ariel
A post shared by Kylie ✨ (@kyliejenner) on Oct 31, 2019 at 1:26am PDT
For Kylie, there was never going to be just one or two (or three…?) Halloween costumes. One question: Where do we get that Flounder purse?
Kylie Jenner as Marilyn Monroe
MARILYN MONROE 💎💗 // @vmagazine @gregswalesart
A post shared by Kylie ✨ (@kyliejenner) on Oct 31, 2019 at 11:46am PDT
Jenner’s *fourth* Halloween costume paid homage to an icon for V Magazine.
Halsey as Marilyn Manson
resident goths. @marilynmanson
A post shared by halsey (@iamhalsey) on Oct 26, 2019 at 12:13am PDT
Okay, there was a legit double-take at Halsey’s transformation into Marilyn Manson. And it’s not the singer’s only Halloween costume so far this year…
Halsey and Evan Peters as Sonny and Cher
…Halsey again teamed up with her (red carpet-official) new beau, Evan Peters, for this throwback look.
Gabrielle Union and daughter Kaavia as Clover cheerleaders
A post shared by Gabrielle Union-Wade (@gabunion) on Oct 27, 2019 at 1:50pm PDT

Demi Lovato as Marie Antoinette
A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on Oct 25, 2019 at 1:05am PDT
Let them eat cake! (And let Lovato come to our Halloween costume party, please, because she’s really killing it this year.)
Demi Lovato as Pennywise
Last night was so sick.. thanks to @hydesunset @sbecollection @umamiburger 🎈💀🤡👻🎃🖤💋
A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on Oct 27, 2019 at 8:15pm PDT
Nevermind, maybe we aren’t inviting Lovato to our party because this It costume is legit scary.
Nina Dobrev as the Chanel runway-crasher
A post shared by Nina Dobrev (@nina) on Oct 27, 2019 at 1:09pm PDT
“They said I couldn’t pull off the impossible, but look at me now! The most prestigious catwalk in the world,” Dobrev captioned her post. She even tagged Gigi Hadid, who famously escorted the crasher off the runway. Iconic.
Nina Dobrev as Billie Eilish
A post shared by Nina Dobrev (@nina) on Oct 26, 2019 at 7:05pm PDT
Dobrev is yet again on point, down to the slime green roots, as Eilish.
Jameela Jamil as Billie Eilish
A post shared by Jameela Jamil (@jameelajamilofficial) on Oct 25, 2019 at 9:16am PDT
It seems the “Bad Guy” singer is a trendy Halloween costume for 2019. Jameela Jamil rocked what she calls a “Silly Eilish” costume.
Jessica Biel as Justin Timberlake
A post shared by Jessica Biel (@jessicabiel) on Oct 26, 2019 at 2:11pm PDT
Excuse us, but suddenly we’re transported back to taping posters of this exact Justin Timberlake-in-bleached-curls look on all over our middle school bedroom. After Biel said she didn’t know any NSYNC songs, she made it up to her husband by throwing back to his boy band days.
Paris Hilton as She-Ra
Epic night at my #ELECTRIFY Halloween Party! 🔥🎃🔥 🎥 @KevinOstaj
A post shared by Paris Hilton (@parishilton) on Oct 26, 2019 at 5:30pm PDT

Kate Beckinsale as Audrey Hepburn
Don’t go breaking my heart, @jsauluck
A post shared by Kate Beckinsale (@katebeckinsale) on Oct 26, 2019 at 12:54am PDT
Beckinsale is just like all of us dressing up as Holly Golightly so we can just wear our LBD to the costume party.
Nicki Minaj as Harley Quinn
Behind the scenes w/The JOKER...coming soon 💋🎥🍿 - Happy HalloQueen 🎃
A post shared by Barbie (@nickiminaj) on Oct 28, 2019 at 6:00am PDT

Heidi Klum as a firework
A post shared by Heidi Klum (@heidiklum) on Oct 25, 2019 at 12:33am PDT
Heidi Klum has had a long reign as Queen of Halloween with her epic costumes, and her first one of 2019 looks like an excuse to douse yourself in glitter.
Heidi Klum as…umm…?
Still here 😳#heidiklumhalloween2019 #heidiklumhalloween
A post shared by Heidi Klum (@heidiklum) on Oct 31, 2019 at 7:29pm PDT
Well, whatever she is, she’s horrifying. We’d expect nothing less.

The only appropriate response to this is the flames emoji.
Normani as Naomi Campbell
A post shared by Normani (@normani) on Oct 30, 2019 at 1:44pm PDT
Normani is giving us some (ahem) motivation to really up our costume game this year. Just look at that side-by-side!
Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler as Sally and Jack Skellington
“And sit together, now and forever. For it is plain, as anyone can see. We're simply meant to be."
A post shared by 🍁🍂Vanessa Hudgens🍂🍁 (@vanessahudgens) on Oct 27, 2019 at 1:36pm PDT
It’s no surprise that our holiday movie queen, Vanessa Hudgens, is channeling one of our favorite holiday movies, The Nightmare Before Christmas, for her couples costume.

Sofia Richie as Aurora from Sleeping Beauty
Richie joined Kylie Jenner as a Disney princess this year.

This is iconic. Elliott transformed back into herself 22 years ago for her first album cover, and truly, which is which?
Rose McGowan as Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby
my Halloween costume is an homage to one if the greatest women ever @miafarrow pic.twitter.com/pWNtDSLUE9

Kourtney Kardashian as Morticia Addams
A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on Oct 31, 2019 at 10:06pm PDT

Call me Cliff Booth. #onceuponatimeinhollywood #HappyHalloween
