See the best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2022

It was a massive revival of the spooky fest this year, coming after the pandemic-induced lull for the past few years. This Halloween weekend saw the streets all over the globe set ablaze with cacophonous celebrations, as festival enthusiasts flocked to their respective parties—be it the ones housed in underground clubs or those cranking up the thrill from the intimacy of their private homes. 

But of course, no Halloween party would be one without a strict adherence to the season’s dress code. Year on year, October brings about a clear shift in the marketplace; witch hats, angel wings, superhero capes and the like rise up in searches, as party-goers worldwide attempt to figure out their Halloween costumes come the end of the month. Distinctive pop culture icons or famous villainous characters also become the talk of the talk once again—think Marilyn Monroe or Harley Quinn—due to the ease of fashioning or DIY-ing a similar costume from one’s own wardrobe. 

But whilst most of us may have chosen to opt for simpler costume options, the same cannot be said for that of our favourite personalities. With a string of resources at their disposal and extraterrestrial help in the form of their trusty stylists and MUAs, it’s no surprise that the biggest stars of Hollywood pulled out all the stops for the welcome return of celebrations that took a large slice of the weekend pie. We spotted intensive makeovers à la Heidi Klum’s worm costume or Kim Kardashian’s rendition of Mystique and a clear preference for animated favourites—see Kendall Jenner’s adaptation of Toy Story’s Woody or Olivia Rodrigo’s Betty Boop. Below, we chronicle all the best celebrity Halloween costumes this year.
