Halloween has arrived once more, bringing with it two certainties: the likelihood of running out of treats for the eager trick-or-treaters and the inundation of celebrity costume displays across social media platforms. To cut down on your aimless browsing, here are some standout celebrity Halloween costumes from this year.
Janelle Monae took inspiration from the iconic film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, showcasing impressive prosthetics while appearing on a Halloween special of The Jennifer Hudson Show. Known for her creativity, Monae expressed her passion for Halloween in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, stating, “Halloween is such a happy space for me, it has been since I was a kid. It opens a larger conversation about how we become agents of joy and happiness. Creating Halloween experiences is heart work, not hard work. I do this because my heart needs it.”
In a unique twist, Pixie Lott turned heads by portraying a stylish Aperol Spritz cocktail. The 33-year-old completed her ensemble with a slice of orange as a headpiece, making her costume both eye-catching and refreshing.
Amelia Dimoldenberg dug deep into Disney and Pixar lore to embody Roz from the beloved 2001 film Monsters Inc. While Roz may not be the most memorable character—a grumpy office worker—Dimoldenberg’s choice certainly sparked nostalgia among fans of the movie.
Lizzo claimed the title for the most relevant Halloween costume this year by dressing up as a fictional weight loss drug inspired by a recent episode of South Park that humorously addressed her body positivity journey. This costume also served as a witty retort to ongoing online speculation about whether her recent weight loss was linked to the drug Ozempic. In September, she took to Instagram to share her thoughts: “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after five months of weight training and calorie deficit…"
Nostalgia played a significant role in Paris Hilton’s 2024 Halloween look as she channeled Uma Thurman’s character Mia Wallace from Quentin Tarantino’s classic Pulp Fiction. By revisiting this iconic role from 30 years ago, Hilton tapped into the enduring appeal of cult classics during Halloween celebrations.
These costumes highlight how celebrities embrace creativity and humor during this festive season while also sparking conversations about cultural references and personal experiences. Each costume reflects not only individual style but also broader themes that resonate with their fans and followers.
