The Celebrities Who Brought Their A-Game This Halloween
With Halloween landing on a Thursday this year, a lot of celebrities and peasants (aka the rest of us) alike chose to celebrate the weekend prior to the spooky holiday, which means we're all being treated to some sweet costumes earlier than expected.
We've got movie throwbacks, spouse rivalries, some seriously cute celebrity children, some celebrities putting in double duty for their costumes, and a handful of Joker references because who doesn't want to be Joaquin Phoenix right now?
When The Party's Over
Even without the black tears, we could've guessed who Nina Dobrev was trying to embody, but the commitment to her Billie Eilish costume made it that much better. Does this make her a bad guy?
Harley Queen
Nicki Minaj and her hubby Kenneth Petty decided to pay tribute to Harley Quinn and the Joker by completing an entire Suicide Squad themed photoshoot, because why not? Needless to say, Nicki killed it with this one.
Go Clovers!
If you were to look up Gabrielle Union circa 2000's Bring it On, you'll see that she has not aged in the past 19 years. The only difference between then and now is the addition of her daughter Kaavia, who is rocking that cheer bow.
Who Framed Macho Man?
Yes, Heidi Klum went as Jessica Rabbit for Halloween a few years back, but she didn't go as a pregnant Jessica Rabbit — that costume was reserved for Ashley Graham, alongside her husband Justin Ervin, dressed as Macho Man.
Bringing Back The 70s
While attending the Casamigos 2019 Halloween party, Cindy Crawford and hubby Rande Gerber (who co-hosted the party with George Clooney) proved they could get down with the 'Psychedelic Spirits' theme of the party.
Two's A Party
Demi Lovato teased her fans before Halloween by telling them that she doesn't mess around when it comes to the spooky holiday, and she proved that. A phenomenal Marie Antoinette costume wasn't enough, because Demi also broke out a killer Pennywise costume for her Halloween bash on the weekend before the holiday.
These Costumes Took Some Sharp Wit
Demi wasn't the only one who found the time to arrange two costumes for Hallo-weekend this year. Rapper G-Eazy stepped up his game and brought the fans both an Edward Scissorhands costume as well as a perfect Joker costume.
Mic Drop
Jessica Biel made the mistake of admitting on television that she wasn't an NSYNC fan, and her punishment? Justin Timberlake made her dress up as him from his years in the band, ramen noodle hair and all.
On The Wings Of Love
Former Bachelor Nick Viall couldn't resist poking fun at this season's newest lead, Peter Weber, when it came to Viall's Halloween costume. From the rose to the aviators to the stitches Peter had to endure while filming his upcoming season, Viall nailed it.
I Got You Babe
While making one of their first official appearances as a couple, actor Evan Peters and singer Halsey proved to everyone that they're a compatible couple since their Sonny & Cher costume was perfect.
Kylie's Klone
Stormi dressed as Kylie Jenner circa the 2019 Met Gala. That's it, that's the whole story. She's adorable and perfect and nothing you say will change our minds. The only thing that could've made it better is if one of her cousins had joined her in Kendall's orange gown.
Breakfast At 7/11
Audrey Hepburn and Elton John in the same convenience store? What're the chances? Actress Kate Beckinsale posed as Holly Go Lightly for the paparazzi along with her pal Jonathan Voluck, who was rocking that sparkly Dodgers uniform.
Nightmare Before Christmas
Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler never shy away from the opportunity to dress up and since 2014 they've been wowing their fans with their Halloween costumes - and this year was no different.

Big Brother queen Julie Chen announced to her fans that for Halloween she'd be recreating some of the most memorable contestants' looks from seasons past, and she kicked it off with her recreation of Zack from BB16.
Exploding With Love
Kicking off the week leading up to her legendary Halloween bash that's she's been hosting for more than two decades, Heidi Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz were bursting with energy as glitter-covered fireworks.
Angelina Would Approve
Hobbs & Shaw's Eiza Gonzalez was not messing around when it came to Halloween this year. She came to play, and she absolutely nailed her Maleficent a la Angelina Jolie costume.
Can We Get Fries With That?
Oh, you thought you knew how to pick out a retro outfit? Maria Menounos and her husband Keven beat us all with their vintage Mcdonald's restaurant worker outfits. The uniforms are the authentic ones from 1976, which Keven apparently managed to buy on eBay.
No Tears Left To Cry
The Kardashians, as they do with most things in their lives, always go all out for Halloween. This year, Kourtney showed off her Ariana Grande costume more than two weeks ahead of Halloween, but has also teased her followers that they'll be more costumes to come.
Wedding Bieber
TV personality and social media aficionado Arielle Vandenberg is a major JBiebs fan, so this year for Hallo-weekend she made an appearance as Bieber himself. Specifically, she went as "Wedding Bieber," with the look from his recent wedding to Hailey Bieber.
Killing It
Elizabeth Hurley as Uma Thurman's character, the Bride, from Kill Bill is the costume none of us even knew we needed in our lives until this moment. From the hairstyle down to the sword, Hurley looked great this year.
She's Just Drawn That Way
Jessica Rabbit is a popular Halloween costume choice for good reason, as it gives the wearer a great chance to strut their stuff. Mariah Carey couldn't look any more perfect as the famously buxom cartoon character.
Behold The Bean
Internet personality Amelia Dimoldenberg is known for some quirky antics, and she may have out-quirked everyone with her choice of Halloween costumes. The shabby suit, elbow pads, mole, and befuddled expression make this immediately identifiable as Mr. Bean.

Credit to Ed Sheeran for embracing his ginger locks and channeling his hair color into a truly impressive costume, dressing as the murderous doll Chuckie from the Child's Play movies.

She's Barbie
Country pop star Kelsea Ballerini incorporated one of the genre's signature items — a cowboy hat — into her costume that depicted Barbie, as played by Margot Robbie. Ballerini wasn't in the 2023 smash hit, but she looks like she just walked right off the set.
A Yabba Dabba Doo Time
What might inspire Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber to dress up as Flintstones characters Pebbles and Bam Bam, while their dogs have costumes of their own? We're not sure, but this is a dynamite outfit.
A New Spin On Cruella
In a touching post, America's Next Top Model contestant and vitiligo spokesperson Winnie Harlow explained her Halloween costume, saying that kids would tease her for her skin condition, calling her 'dalmatian.' As you can see, she decided to lean right into it for Halloween.
Uh, Whatever...
Clueless is a movie that's held up really well, even for those who are immune to the charm of '90s nostalgia. It also created some style icons, which helps explain why Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West dressed up as Cher and Dionne from the iconic comedy.
Shay Mitchell's Gone Wicked
Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell pulled out all the stops for her Halloween costume. She and her daughter dressed up as Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked, posing for a photo that looks like a legit movie poster.
Is That Really Marilyn?
Marilyn Monroe lived a glamorous life and died young, making her an icon whose style still resonates today. Kendall Jenner did a great job of channeling some of that Marilyn energy with her understated Halloween costume.
