The best celebrity Halloween costumes to inspire your #lewk (even if it *is* just for a night in watching horror films!)

The best celebrity Halloween costumes to inspire your #lewk (even if it *is* just for a night in watching horror films!)

While the majority of this year has been a horror show in itself, the minute our calendars flipped over to October we had our sights set on one very specific event. Parties and group gatherings of more than six people may have been postponed, but NOBODY cancels Halloween.

October 31st is very nearly upon us, which means that it's time to get our acts together. Leave your Halloween costume idea to the very last minute (again!) and you'll be forced to don that half-arsed "scary cat" ensemble, and that's the last thing 2020 needs right now.

Luckily for you, we've done some extensive costume research and have picked some seriously impressive celebrity looks to emulate (we see you, Heidi Klum: queen of Halloween)..

Once you're outfit is sorted, have a peruse of our favourite Halloween makeup looks, couples costumes, Halloween nail art ideas, pretty Halloween makeup ideas and makeup artists to follow for all the Halloween beauty inspo you need.


Heidi Klum as an alien experiment

The queen of Halloween truly outdid herself at her 2019 party, wearing full body prosthetics that took almost 13 hours to put together.

Okay, we know Maleficent is a scary character, but somehow the beautiful Halima still looks utterly breathtaking.

Kate Beckinsale dressed as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's, accompanied by Jonathan Voluck emulating Elton John ... in a dramatic backdrop no wilder than a 7 Eleven.

Lady Gaga

Yuh. Soooooo… Turns out this was just one of Lady Gaga’s stage outfits but we actually think this would make a pretty great outfit for Halloween, too.
