Hilton also channeled a family fantasy theme, transforming into Tinkerbell from “Peter Pan”, accompanied by her husband as Captain Hook and their children as Peter Pan and Wendy. Another striking choice was her Catwoman costume, featuring a shiny black latex bodysuit and the signature mask, reminiscent of Michelle Pfeiffer’s portrayal in “Batman Returns”.

Henson Channels Janet Jackson
Taraji P. Henson paid homage to Janet Jackson’s “Got ‘Til It’s Gone” music video. She donned a caramel brown leather jacket and zebra print undergarments, capturing the late ’90s aesthetic perfectly, set against a backdrop that mirrored the music video’s setting.
Ed Sheeran’s Creepy Clown
Ed Sheeran surprised fans by dressing up as Pennywise, the menacing clown from “It”. His costume included a face painted white, the iconic red lines extending from the lips to the eyes, and a classic clown outfit, capturing the eerie essence of the character against a New York backdrop.
Innovative and Ironic Costumes
Some celebrities opted for less traditional and more imaginative costumes, showcasing their creativity and sense of humor:
Lisa from BLACKPINK as a Mythical Mermaid
Lisa of BLACKPINK turned heads with her elaborate golden mermaid costume from the animated series “Love, Death & Robots”. She wore a bodysuit adorned with chains and beads, creating a shimmering effect that made her look like she was draped in the treasures of the deep sea.
James Charles’ Humorous Homage
James Charles brought humor to the holiday by dressing up as “Aunt Gladys”, a fictional character embodying the quirky old lady archetype. His outfit included a bright wig, oversized red glasses, and a pearl necklace, all topped off with theatrical makeup to enhance the comedic effect.
Each of these costumes not only reflects the personal style and humor of the celebrities but also highlights their ability to use Halloween as a platform for creativity and self-expression.
