The best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time

Get inspired for the spooky season...

It’s that time of year again when the dress up party invites start rolling in, the stores are lined with spooky decorations, and the great debate on whether we even celebrate Halloween in Australia or not continues to divide…

But ultimately, it’s a fantastic excuse for us to begin the season of over indulging a little early with sweet treats, themed parties and fun coordinated costumes.

And our favourite part? How celebs take Halloween to a whole other level…

What celebrities go all out for Halloween?

Heidi Klum is the Queen of Halloween, which is not hard to understand when you look at the time, effort and dedication she puts into her costumes each year; for example, in 2022 she dressed as a human-sized worm. And 2023 marks Heidi’s 22nd star studded Annual Halloween Party.

In addition to Heidi, read on to find all of our favourite celebrities who have pulled out all the stops with the most outrageous, hilarious, and glamorous costumes in years past.

01

Heidi Klum

The supermodel and her husband Tom Kaulit went to the extreme once again for Halloween 2023. Heidi dressed as a peacock and Tom went as an egg…

02

Larsen Thompson

The actress and model attended Heidi’s annual Halloween party in 2023 dressed as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City.

03

Margot Robbie

Barbie star Margot Robbie attended the 2023 Casamigos Halloween party in a look we aren’t used to from the Hollywood A-lister. Not a drop of pink in sight as she rocked an all black outfit, black wig, and an iconic Guy Fawkes mask.

04

Adele

Taking to Instagram, the singer shared an almost unrecognisable picture of herself dressed as Morticia Addams.

05

Edward Norton and Shauna Robertson

With all the Beckham hype, we were hoping someone would give us this iconic duo costume for Halloween. Edward and Shauna took no shortcuts as they embodied Posh and Becks at the 2023 Casamigos Halloween party.

06

Keke Palmer

There is a special place in our hearts for celebrities who turn their Halloween costumes into a full production. Keke Palmer and son Leo pulled out all the stops for his first Halloween with this Frankenstein scene.

07

Robert Irwin

Robert Irwin and girlfriend Rorie Buckey have officially become the Australian Barbie and Ken this Halloween. You can’t tell us they weren’t made for these costumes!

08

Martha Stewart

Martha took our breath away in 2013 with this whimsical pink tulle ‘Fairy Godmother’ frock.

09

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

We love a hilarious couple costume, and Jessica dressing up as husband Justin circa his NSYNC days is perfection. Plus, we just love that JT opted to be nothing more than a microphone.

10

John McEnroe

The tennis star committed costume inception by dressing up as his yonger self.

11

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

This dynamic duo always seem to delight with their well thought out couple costumes. 2018 was no different with the pair opting for Inigo Montoya and Westley from the classic movie The Princess Bride.

12

Jamie Lee Curtis

In 2021, the Halloween Kills star honoured her mother, Janet Leigh, with this almost identical Psycho look.

13

Brooke Shields

The actress and mother of two juggled her mini Morticias, while dressed as Uncle Fester from The Addams Family in 2011.

14

Josh Duhamel

Looking unrecognisable, Josh followed what seemed to be a costume trend in 2022 amongst the celebs – attending a party as your older self!

15

Katy Perry

Around the same time as her campaign for Hilary Clinton in 2016, Katy joined up with a friend to bring attention to the political pair of Hilary and Bill Clinton in a very unique way!

16

Mel B

Mel B (AKA Scary Spice) dressed up as her former Spice Girls colleague Victoria Beckham (AKA Posh Spice) for Halloween 2018. Mel’s friend dressed as Victoria’s husband David Beckham.

17

Tina Fey and Will Ferrell

The hilarious duo dressed as the characters they respectively voice in the animated film Megamind for the NBC’s Today Halloween episode in 2010.

18

Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry and his wife Jessica kept it classic in 2018, dressing as the universally recognisable Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.

19

Bette Midler

Halloween royalty, Bette dazzled in 2017 with this gorgeous floral Marie Antoinette costume. We can’t help but love the sky high hair!

20

Cindy Crawford and George Clooney

The supermodel has bought us a range of iconic Halloween looks over the years but nothing could top when she coordinated with partner Rande Gerber and George Clooney in 2018. Rande and George dressed as pilots while Cindy looked chic in a flight attendent costume.

21

Lisa Rinna

We love… Lisa! The Real Housewives star absolutely delighted her fans when in 2010 she showed up dressed as the one and only Lucille Ball.
