Every year, celebrities dress up for Halloween and share their costumes with the world. Some of them, like supermodel Heidi Klum, are known for going all out in the makeup department. Others have fun leaning into the comedic side of the holiday. (This year, many celebrities got especially creative amidst the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike and the union's direction to avoid TV and film characters as costumes. Of course, some celebrities baulked at this request and wore what they wanted, while others like Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. opted out of wearing a costume altogether.) We've put together some of the most memorable looks from this year's Halloween costumes, which range from hyperrealistic animals to other fellow celebrities.
Singer Janelle Monáe stunned her followers on Instagram by transforming into a chameleon. Not only is the performer's face completely masked to look like the reptile, but she wears a matching costume that changes colors. In a similar theme, the Klum also dressed up as an animal—a colorful peacock. While Klum wore an all blue bodysuit and a face of makeup to make it seem like she had a beak, a group of 10 performers from the Cirque du Soleil posed as the vibrant plumage for the tail.
Not all celebrities tapped into their wild side though. Many found inspiration from well-known films. Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West dressed up as Cher and Dionne from the beloved 1995 film Clueless, looking very chic in matching plaid outfits. Meanwhile, British singer Adele wore dramatic makeup that made her a perfect Morticia Addams from The Addams Family.
