Halloween has come and gone once again. It’s a fleeting opportunity to dress up as your favourite pop-culture character or something very spooky, and it can also show off your creativity.
Dozens of celebrities pulled out all the stops with their Halloween costumes and they ran the gamut, ranging from presidential candidates to characters from your favourite TV shows. Often with money and creative teams at their disposal, sometimes celebs’ costumes can really blow our minds; other times, their costumes just blow.
Khloe Kardashian as Storm
Kardashian dressed up as Storm from X-Men this year, complete with silver hair and piercing coloured contacts. Many people on social media mocked the look of her costume, saying she could have put together something more refined, especially since Beyoncé slayed the same costume last year.
Lena Dunham as Donald Trump pun
Dunham opted for an anti-Trump costume this year. The Girls star’s costume was inspired by comments the Republican presidential nominee made in the 2005 Access Hollywood video, when he bragged to Billy Bush about grabbing women “by the p*ssy.”
Al Roker as Steve Urkel
The Today show host went with a ’90s theme, really capturing the feel of Steve Urkel from Family Matters. “Did I do that?”
Matt Lauer as Jerry Seinfeld
Matt Lauer took part in the ’90s theme and dressed up as a “puffy shirt”-wearing Jerry Seinfeld. Bryant Gumbel even made an appearance to reprise his Seinfeld cameo.
Beyoncé, Blue Ivy and Jay Z as Black Barbie and Ken
Perfection. Sometimes these family-themed costumes work.
Taylor Swift as Deadpool
Swift has Ryan Reynolds to thank for her Halloween costume this year, because she dressed as Reynolds’ superhero character from Deadpool. Swift thanked Reynolds over Instagram for letting her borrow the actual outfit he wore in the movie.
Amy Schumer and Ben Hanisch as Dustin and Eleven
Stranger Things inspired many people’s costumes this year, including Amy Schumer and her boyfriend Ben Hanisch. The 35-year-old comedian wore a curly brown wig and a yellow baseball hat to portray Dustin from the hit Netflix series, while Hanisch rocked Eleven’s look with his shaved head, bloody nose and pink dress.
Heidi Klum and her clones
Everyone waits with bated breath for Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume. This year, she cloned herself five times; she and the copies arrived at her annual costume party at New York City’s Vandal in a box marked “Made in Germany.” All six ladies wore champagne bodysuits and nude knee-high boots.
Kylie Jenner as Christina Aguilera
Kylie Jenner perfectly recreated Christina Aguilera’s look from her Dirrty music video, including the highlighted extensions, facial piercings and the chaps. Jenner received some props from Aguilera when she reposted the photo of Jenner on her own social media and captioned it, “‘YAASSSSS’…..Killin it @kyliejenner yes to dirrty 2016!! Get it girrrl!!!”
Lance Bass as a mixture of Elphaba and Mr.Freeze
Former ‘NSync’er Lance Bass claims that he was “Elphaba and Mr. Freeze’s love child, Elsaba the fashion witch.” (Elphaba Thropp is a fictional character in Wicked and Mr. Freeze is a fictional supervillian in the DC comics.) Bass rocked icy shades of blue over his face, arms and hair, and wore a sleeveless checked shirt with a bowtie.
Martha Stewart as a bloody nurse
Martha Stewart might be a whiz in the kitchen, but we’re not sure we’d want her operating on us.
Nina Dobrev as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Horse from The Revenant
Canadian Nina Dobrev goes for laughs — and gets them — as the horse from The Revenant, which is cut open in the movie so Leonardo DiCaprio’s character can sleep inside it and survive.
