I think it’s fair to say that this year’s batch of celebrity Halloween costumes have been a little underwhelming. I expected more pop culture costumes in relation to this year’s movie releases like Beetlejuice and Deadpool. Instead, we got celebrities dressing as each other and lots of y2k references with the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber dressing as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie from the Simple Life, and Paris herself dressing as Britney Spears. I have scoured Hollywood for the very best celebrities had to offer for this year’s Halloween so here are some of my favourites.  

Sabrina Carpenter – Lizzie McGuire 

Pop princess Sabrina Carpenter channelled early 2000s icon Hilary Duff with her igloo dress from The Lizzie McGuire Movie. This white, ice block patterned gown is complete with puffy hood, sleeves, and archway detailing on the front of the dress. She actually tweeted in 2018 ‘anyone sellin this on Etsy, ya girl needs a Halloween costume’ – call it manifesting.  

Lupita Nyong’o – Storm 

I loved seeing Lupita Nyong’o bringing yet another iconic Marvel character brought to life, even if it was just for Halloween. She paired a black velvet blazer with a silk crop top and gold jewellery. But the star of the show was of course the electrifying white wig and contact lenses, giving the full Storm effect.    

Madelaine Petsch and Camila Mendes – Kim Possible and Shego 

In previous years the core Riverdale actresses, Lili Reinhart, Petsch, and Mendes, come together to dress as some pretty iconic trios, including the Power Puff Girls, Sanderson Sisters, and DC Villains. However, without Reinhart, they had to continue the tradition as the Disney Channel duo Kim Possible and Shego. Petch wore a latex crop top, khaki cargos, and combat boots, while Mendes donned the famous green and black catsuit.  

Ice Spice – Leeloo 

Rapper Ice Spice dressed as The Fifth Element, Leeloo. She paired gold leggings with a white crop top and orange overall straps to replicate this 90s action-comedy character. This was the perfect costume for her famous ginger locks.  

Amelia Dimoldenberg – Roz 

The Chicken Shop Date star went viral for her Halloween costume this year as she dressed as Roz, Monster’s Inc’s office administrator. She wore green prosthetics and a purple wig, paired with a burgundy cardigan and beige skirt. Of course, the look was not complete without Roz’s nemesis, a Mike Wazowski plush.  

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco – Alice and the Mad Hatter 

Sporting blonde locks and blue tulle dress, Selena Gomez stunned as the titular Alice in Wonderland. Her beau Blanco wore a tan suit jacket and tails with a polka dot neck scarf, topped off with the Mad Hatters’ top hat and red hair.   

Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof – Football and Aristotle (Taylor Swift ‘So High School’) 

While to the untrained eye, this is a rather unusual couples costume, however, to a Swiftie, it’s absolutely perfect. In reference to the Taylor Swift song ‘So High School’ lyric “you know how to ball, I know Aristotle,” Hannigan wore an American football costume while husband Denisof dressed as Aristotle, complete with toga and long white beard.   

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly – Padme and Anakin 

This year saw a very tame addition to their series of couple’s costumes with Padme and Anakin. Fox donned the very elaborate red throne room gown, complete with fur trim and bejewelled headpiece, while MGK wore long, brown Jedi robes, with Anakin’s famous Revenge of the Sith wig and lightsabre.  

Justin, Hailey, and Jack Bieber – Ron Stoppable, Kim Possible, and Rufus 

Kim and Ron are a very popular couple’s costume, however, it’s the addition of the baby Bieber that makes this costume stand out. I have to say, I laughed more than I should have when I saw little baby Jack as their pet naked mole rat, but its just too cute and arguably hilarious!  

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker – Morticia and Gomez Addams 

This goth pair decided to channel the king and queen of Halloween with the iconic Addams parents. Kardashian shone in a floor length black dress and sleek, long black hair, accompanied by Barker in a pinstriped, tailored suit and slicked back hair.
