106 celebrity Halloween costumes that will stand the test of time

The best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time run the gamut in terms of style, subject, and execution.

Some of the greatest ones are fresh takes on classic characters, such as when Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum went as Rosemary and her baby in 2023. Others are just brilliant feats of glam, for example, Halsey as a mermaid.

Some celebrities have rocked costumes inspired by classic Halloween movies, such as when Jordin Sparks, Dove Cameron and Sofia Carson dressed up as the witches from Hocus Pocus. And others just went for, well, looking hot. (Please see Megan Fox as Pamela Anderson. What a moment!) And then there is Heidi Klum and her infamous Halloween parties over the years.

In 2024, two major themes emerged among celebrities. For starters, we got a lot of references to Alice in Wonderland, with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco channeling Alice and the Mad Hatter. Meanwhile, Alix Earle made the “Mad Forest” the theme of her own Halloween bash, going full Heidi Klum as the Cheshire Cat.

Speaking of Heidi Klum, she hosted her annual Halloween bash in a full-on E.T. costume — as did Janelle Monáe, who hosted her own party in Los Angeles. Clearly, both celebrities are as big of fans of Stephen Spielberg’s 1982 classic as they are of prosthetics.

If you need inspiration for this year, check out our picks for the best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time. Obviously, we’ll be updating this post as more great outfits come in from this year’s parties.
