Be it staying indoors for a movie marathon or partying outdoors all night, nearly everyone treats October 31st as a valid reason for some eerie fun. And while it’s completely understandable that some do a last-minute closet-digging for their getup, A-listers live on a different plane. For the elite, Halloween is the ultimate opportunity for no-expense-spared performance art.
RELATED: Your Favorite Celebrities Went As Iconic Characters For Halloween
You know who they are: the celebrities who skip the witch hat in favor of ambitious undertakings, or the ones who go viral for being so stunning. So, let’s name the most memorable celebrity Halloween costumes of the last decade.
Christina Aguilera, 2024
Back in 2024, Christina Aguilera ditched the glitz to resurrect the aristocratic menace of Gary Oldman’s Count Dracula. Her sultry interpretation, consisting of a towering red bouffant and a blood-red lace-up corset, had fans clamoring to put her in a horror acting project, which was certainly interesting.
Megan Thee Stallion, 2023
Megan Thee Stallion is a woman who isn’t ruled by a calendar because she brings her costume A-game consistently regardless of holidays. But in a certified hot girl moment back in 2023, she dressed as a glamorous, vine-covered Talking Flower straight out of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The hyper-realistic rose headpiece only further sold the image of a botanical masterpiece.
Kim Kardashian, 2022
Replicating Rebecca Romijn’s version of Mystique, Kim Kardashian donned a custom blue catsuit made by Vex Latex in 2022—complete with shimmering scales that were meticulously handmade to mimic the X-Men character’s otherworldly skin. The artisans behind it recently stated that the piece remains their favorite Halloween project yet. And with how flawless Kim K looked, who can blame them?
Ariana Grande, 2021
Plunging deep into the waters of classic horror, Ariana Grande became “Miss Creature from the Black Lagoon” in 2021. Prosthetics were indeed used for her pouty, fish-like face to stay true to the homage of Universal’s 1954 Gill-man. Grande even stuck to the bit by creating a vintage-style movie poster, featuring Dalton Gomez as the “Handsome Scuba Man.”
Vanessa Hudgens, 2020
During the year of quarantine, Vanessa Hudgens surprised her fans in late 2020 with a photoshoot as a (literal) Black Widow. She transformed into a seductive, venomous figure straight out of a silent film with her shapely black gown and retro hair—a perfectly executed pin-up arachnid.
Kendall Jenner, 2019
In 2019, twenty-four-year-old Kendall Jenner celebrated her birthday during the Halloween weekend as a Golden Forest Fairy. Arriving on a majestic white horse, Jenner embodied pure fantasy in a textured gold mini-dress by Yousef Al Jasmi, paired with shimmering wings and a regal crown. This was a content creator favorite that many of them recreated.
Heidi Klum, 2015-2024
No list of memorable celebrity Halloween costumes would be complete without Heidi Klum. Since 2001 when she famously rode a horse as Lady Godiva, Klum has consistently set the gold standard for spooky season. Her annual parties and radical changes are legendary, which only makes sense because of her elaborate teams, months of preparation, and hours of prosthetics. Year after year, her looks are so extreme that they defy recognition.
For the nonchalant, going all out on something that will only be worn once might be too excessive or extra. But that’s the fun of it, isn’t it? And everyone loves an imaginative guise. The only question left is who among the A-listers will deliver the best shocking transformations of Halloween 2025?
