With spooky gatherings and trick-or-treating off the festive menu this year, Halloween looks rather different. But as we know, the more people get into pandemic-induced social distancing, the more time and creativity they have on their hands to show some mad DIY skills. And celebrities are no exception.
So this year, the A-listers put some heavyweight efforts into their Halloween costumes and they didn’t go unnoticed!
From Maura Higgins rocking Christina Aguilera's raunchy look from 2002, to Cardi B transforming into reptile-tailed Medusa, these are some of the most incredible spooky looks of the year and we absolutely love it.

The Weeknd As The Nutty Professor
Halloween is a time for frights, costumes, and fun, but this year was a little different. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned people to not forget social distancing and keep others and ourselves safe during the holidays. “Avoid direct contacts,” “wear a mask,” and "spend more time in the comfort of our homes" were among the official guidelines.
But the yearly costume reveals on social media were far from over, and celebrities were no exception. Kelsea Ballerini rocked a Karen look, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend dressed up as Spiderman and the White Swan in their home, and Kim Kardashian nailed Carole Baskin from the TV series Tiger King.

nicely done, but not for halloween. before the downvotes start, imagine someone wearing a halloween costume to christmas dinner.
Halsey As Emily The Corpse Bride
Cool how her professional makeup artist spent hours and hours preparing this look.
Load More Replies...But she’s missing the side of her mouth that you can see the skeleton part like in the original Corps Bride character.
Load More Replies...Just like every year, a majority of celebrity costumes were inspired by pop culture references, recent events, and bold characters that got everyone talking in 2020. Other popular themes this year were the pandemic and related attributes like coronavirus, masks, vaccines, memes of the year 2020, etc.
Kelsea Ballerini As Karen
Don't know why youve been downvoted since you're right
Load More Replies...YES!! Thank you Zoe's Mom. My name is Karen and I'm so angry about this. I've been insulted and frankly it's just a form of bullying. Adults should know better.

Lizzo As Mike Pence's Fly
Gabrielle Union And Dwyane Wade As Smores
I had to google what Smores is (it´s probably a NA thing only), but it looks quite delicious.
I had a smore once and didn't like it. I'm the talk of camping when I say no thank you. Am I the only one who thinks these are to sweet and give me a bad feeling in my head.
Not to be a hater but this costume seems kind of basic compared to the others. It's cute but a lot of people do it.
Yes she could have made her costume an actual Hershey’s candy bar.

Tony Hawk Dressed Up As Larry David For Halloween
Cardi B As Medusa
I don't think it counts as a "costume" if most of the photo is CGI. Basically this is just a gold bra and bracelets
My only complaint is that Medusa is supposed to be so ugly she turns anyone who looks directly at her into stone. This is a pretty Medusa.
Not a fan of Cardi B’s “music” but she makes a pretty good Medusa
Load More Replies...You may have missed it, but this is not the year to go out for treatin' nor parties.
Load More Replies...Ok- I'm in love with that costume. I love that celebrities still get in the Halloween spirit!

Kylie Jenner As A Snake
Kylie Jenner As Power Rangers
It's so funny how they're all different people, but even without the costumes they all look the same
Load More Replies...Mostly unknown egotists dressed up as other mostly unknown egotists.
Why is Kylie Jenner here at least three times? And why is she many power rangers at the same time? Dressing up for halloween is fun but doing three or more outfits is an overkill. If this becomes a trend, the whole idea of a single good idea for a dress in ruined, and everyone has to have *at least* six costumes... Blah.
She is rich and likes to constantly remind everyone of that.
Load More Replies...The more unknown these people are, the more skin and tits can be seen.
I think that the term "celebrity" is being used very loosely here...very loosely. Please BoredPanda, give us some more original content.
I am seriously not impressed with "celebrities" who just pay other people to make costumes and/or do their hair & makeup, as well as set outrageous scenes for them. Show me costumes these "celebrities" have made themselves and then I'll be impressed.
I think with celebrities we should draw a distinction between a Halloween costume and a Halloween photoshoot. Some of these were clearly one-off display commissions in stationary costumes and makeup with props and sets to match, while several are genuine Halloween costumes that people are obviously attending a party or trick-or-treating in. As said in the other thread, it doesn't feel right to say "Nice costume, Heidi Klum," to what is just another day of professional modeling for her.
