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.


Halima Aden as Maleficent

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


Georgia Fowler as Audrey Hepburn

Georgia proving that there's no need for Breakfast at Tiffany's when you can get takeout...


Ciara as Beyonce
Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson dressed up in the iconic power suits of Beyoncé and Jay-Z.


Kylie Jenner as Ariel
Makeup mogul and billionaire Kylie Jenner donned a glorious flame-red wig for a beautiful interpretation of Disney's Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Demi Lovato as Pennywise the clown

Demi Lovato transformed into a beautifully creepy interpretation of Pennywise the clown from the IT franchise.


Kate Beckinsale as Holly Golightly

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.


Cardi B as a Nurse

Everyone's favourite drama queen Cardi B rocked a super long red wig in her nurse costume.


Halsey and Evan Peters as Sonny and Cher
Debuting as an official couple, Halsey and her partner Evan Peters made a brilliant Sonny and Cher.


Beyoncé and Jay-Z as Olympians
Beyonce and Jay-Z paid tribute to iconic black Olympians, Florence Griffith Joyner and Tommie Smith, for Halloween.


Heidi Klum as Princess Fiona

Heidi Klum - aka the Queen of Halloween - pulled out all the stops as Princess Fiona from Shrek. Iconic.

Trust Paris Hilton to pull out all the stops by dressing as a Furbee for Halloween.


Kendall Jenner as a fembot
Kendall Jenner looked sensational dressed as a fembot from Austin Powers.


Lauren Conrad as The Birds with her son
In our humble opinion, Lauren Conrad is one of the chicest stars in Hollywood so, naturally, her Halloween costume followed suit. Lauren chose horror film icon Alfred Hitchcock as her inspo and dressed as Melanie Daniels from The Birds, alongside her son, Liam.


Perrie Edwards as Ursula
OK, we're calling it: Perrie Edwards' Ursula look is *the* lewk of Halloween 2018 already. Just look at that purple contour!

Leslie Mann

Leslie Mann and husband Judd Apatow arrived at Kate Hudson's Halloween party ready to party.


Jemima Khan

Jemima Khan always pulls a great Halloween costume out of the bag. For the Unicef Halloween Ball, she feigned being attacked by a killer clown. They are the worst.


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.
