In the realm of fashion and Hollywood glamor, Halloween always brings a spectacular display of creativity and style. With another season of spooktacular festivities, the world’s biggest stars have once again showcased their costume prowess. While the world has already seen everything the stars could throw at them, this year’s costumes have a lot of people confused over who could be crowned the king or queen of the costume party.

From Heidi Klum’s annual breathtaking transformations to Kendall Jenner’s fashion-forward flair, the competition for the title of the best Halloween costume seems to get a little bit fiercer with every passing year. This year, many fan favorites have already dazzled the social media world, and here are the top picks.

The best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2023

While celebrities are usually the ones who end up giving their fans inspiration for their costumes, sometimes they seem to take from each other as well. This year, some celebrities debuted their costumes at the annual Casamigos Halloween party over the weekend. However, other stars chose to show off their elaborate costumes on their social media pages. Either way, fans got the best of both worlds as they hopped online on the big day.

Heidi Klum kept up her tradition of an extremely elaborate costume

Over the years, model Heidi Klum has become known as the Queen of Halloween. For over two decades, she has been serving up ever-outlandish costumes that leave her hard to recognize. From Micheal Jackson’s werewolf from the ‘Thriller’ music video to last year’s creepy crawly worm, the 50-year-old has constantly outdone herself each year to earn the name. However, this year’s costume might be her most elaborate yet.

In a post on Instagram, the German-born icon stunned her fan following. She posted a picture of herself and a group of Cirque du Soleil performers dressed up as one whole peacock. While the dancers were made out to be a part of her costume, she stole the show in a blue suit complete with a beak and feathers poking out at the top of her head.

While that was the most effort fans had seen in a while, her husband, Tom Kaulitz also joined in. He complimented his wife’s costume by going as a peacock egg.

Adele’s Addams family tribute

Adele might be one of the best vocalists of our time, but she is also one of the funniest. Since 2016, fans have gotten to see the singer’s unique take on Halloween. From dressing up as Bette Midler’s character from Hocus Pocus to paying tribute to Jim Carey’s iconic film, The Mask, she has stunned fans with her costume creativity. However, this year, she channeled her inner Morticia Addams.

At her Las Vegas show, the star debuted the costume and completely embodied the dark and mysterious character. She even donned a long, jet-black wig to resemble the matriarch of the Addams family. The 35-year-old sang some of her biggest hits and even went viral for belting out her 2015 hit, ‘Hello’.

Hailey Bieber’s nod to the 2000s

Hailey Bieber and her husband, Justin Bieber, were considered this year’s Halloween inspiration after the Rhode launch outfit mishap. However, it seems that the star chose to go another way with her costume for the spooky season. She wore more than one costume this year, she started with a Pebbles Flintstones costume but did not stop there. While that may have been her first nod to 2000s pop culture, it was only the beginning of her costumes for the night.

In a post on her Instagram account, the 26-year-old could be seen sporting a classic Carmen Electra look. She dressed up as the star of the parody film, Scary Movie. She chose the scene where Electra’s character Drew is being attacked by Ghostface. While the killer was missing from the frame, everything else was perfect, she stood in the backyard as sprinklers went off.

Thankfully, she did not gatekeep her secrets to attaining the iconic look and even gave fans a look at how she did it in a YouTube video.

Ed Sheeran transformed into another iconic redhead

While the world may have expected the ‘A-Team’ singer to go as Ron Weasley with their uncanny similarities, the 32-year-old chose to go with another iconic red-headed character. He ended up making horror fans squeal with delight when they saw that the artist was bringing back the vicious serial killer, Chucky from the Child’s Play horror films.

Sheeran shared his costume on Instagram and gave fans quite the scare. Although his costume was based on the current Chucky TV series, he stole the hearts of all his horror fans. In the pictures, he could be seen with a creepy smile which perfectly depicted the character’s wickedness. While this might have been many people’s first time seeing the character, there is no doubt that it was a costume they will never forget.

Jack Harlow went as a beloved Marvel character

Jack Harlow may have dropped off the grid for a while, but that has not stopped him from continuing to release music. However, this Halloween, the musician made a big comeback with a surprising costume of a Marvel character. He dressed up as Hugh Jackman’s character from the X-Men franchise, Wolverine. The costume even featured the razor-sharp claws that the character is known for.

While his costume may not have been as elaborate as the rest, he stole the show with his nod to Hugh Jackman’s character. The world thought they had said their goodbyes to him went the franchise ended up killing the character in Logan, but thankfully, Ryan Reynolds brought him back for Deadpool 3 and Horlow brought him back as a Halloween costume.

Although the costume was not the same as the comics, fans will get to see Hugh Jackman in complete Wolverine glory soon.

Mariah Carey transformed into the sultry Jessica Rabbit

The iconic singer, Mariah Carey stuck to her classic roots. After paying an ode to Mean Girls‘ Regina George, she decided to go a little further back in time. While she might be the queen of Christmas, the 54-year-old proved that she could give Heidi Klum a run for her money. For her costume this year, the star dazzled her fans as she took on the iconic cartoon character from Disney’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

She donned the classic sultry red dress and purple gloves that the character is known for and even added a pair of sparkly red stilettos to complete the fit. Carey was so in character that she even mimicked Rabbit’s signature poses for her Instagram pictures.

Kim Kardashian embodied a Bratz doll

While her passion for fashion comes as no surprise, her second outfit stunned her followers and sent a lot of 90s kids down memory lane. The SKIMs mogul wore a pink mini-skirt and a cropped corset. However, it was her sky-high platform heels and stockings that brought the entire look together and cemented her as the ultimate Bratz .

While the costume strayed a bit from her usual skin-tight leather outfits, fans appreciated the efforts and lengths that the star had gone to for the look.

Paris Hilton is in her ‘Toxic’ era

After Paris Hilton’s Marvel tribute last Halloween, no one thought she could beat the iconic look. However, this year, she proved everyone wrong as she dressed up as her longtime friend, Britney Spears. She paid tribute to the singer by copying her look from the 2004 music video, ‘Toxic’. While most would have taken it to be just another sexy flight attendant costume, Spears fans knew exactly where she had taken her inspiration from.

The heiress even captioned her post with “Icons support icons.” While that may have been in reference to the ‘Womanizer’ singer’s troublesome conservatorship over the years, it could have also been about her brand new memoir, The Woman in Me, which gives fans a whole new perspective on the singer. Hilton completed her look with a blue outfit with a matching cap and some large earrings to bring it all together.

Kendall Jenner became Wonder Woman

The world expected Kendall Jenner to dazzle fans with her Halloween costume, and the star did exactly that. She even went through a few costume changes to meet all the goals she had set for herself.

Most Kardashian followers already know that Kim and Kourtney have not been on the best of terms. It may have started with the SKIMS mogul accusing her sister of copying her, but now the eldest Kardashian seems to have taken it to a whole new level. While fans of the Poosh business owner were floored by her Halloween costume last year, this year’s has left them roaring with laughter. She may have stolen the show with her ‘Beetlejuice’ costume, however, it was her jab at her sister that everyone will remember.

The 44-year-old posted pictures on Instagram of her copying her sister, Kim’s most iconic 2013 Met Gala outfit. She donned a floral, long-sleeved gown which the 43-year-old had worn while she was pregnant with North West. The look was so perfect that even the SKIM mogul could not help but share it on her Instagram story.

They went as Chiaki Kuriyama’s Gogo Yubari and Uma Thurman’s Bride from Quentin Tarantino’s 2003 film.
