Celebrity Halloween has become a party within a party. There are the costume reveals, the elaborate photo shoots, and the inevitable moment of trying to figure out what exactly someone is supposed to be. Half the fun is recognizing the reference before reading the caption.

This year’s best looks gave pop culture obsessives something to work with. Music videos, cartoons, and an awkward talk show interview all made the cut, along with a few transformations that are worth a closer look. Some were really scary. Others were funny enough to argue for keeping Halloween very, very unserious.

Here are 11 of our favorite celebrity Halloween costumes of 2026.

Heidi Klum as a giant severed hand

Heidi Klum, the queen of Halloween, showed up at her annual party as a huge, bloodied version of her own left hand, complete with red nails and rings. It would have taken five to six hours to put on the costume. An impressive effort to make everyone a little uncomfortable.

Lily Allen as Ticketmaster Seating Chart

Lily Allen dressed as a Ticketmaster seating chart. A serious contender for scariest costume here, especially for anyone who’s tried to buy concert tickets recently.

Zendaya as Halle Berry

Zendaya recreated Halle Berry’s look from the 2000s X-Men first, with a Law Roach style. A red carpet reference specific enough to reward those who immediately recognized it.

Mary Beth Barone and Benito Skinner as Dakota Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres

THE To go up the hosts revisited Dakota Johnson’s famously awkward 2019 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Showstarring Mary Beth Barone as Johnson and Benito Skinner as DeGeneres. During the interview, DeGeneres claimed she wasn’t invited to Johnson’s birthday party, prompting the actress to respond, “Actually, no, that’s not the truth, Ellen.” This uncomfortable exchange has become an enduring internet staple — and, apparently, a great Halloween costume for two people.

Lisa Rinna as Kylie Jenner

Lisa Rinna recreated Kylie Jenner’s orange Chrome Hearts look from Marty Supreme first, with a long dark wig and a large silver cross-shaped necklace. The resemblance even caught Jenner’s attention. “I thought it was me,” she commented on Rinna’s Instagram post.

Keke Palmer and Leodis as Janet and Michael Jackson

Keke Palmer and her son, Leodis, released Janet and Michael Jackson’s 1995 “Scream” music video, complete with matching hairstyles and filming in black and white. Palmer also recreated the choreography in a video, while Leo seemed perfectly content sitting nearby with his iPad. “This iPad is a lifesaver, oh my goodness,” she wrote in the caption. “I couldn’t stop laughing.” Same, Keke.

Lizzo as Seiko Ayase from Dan Da Dan

Lizzo chose Seiko Ayase, the grandmother from the anime and manga series Dan Da Danfor her Halloween haircut. If the reference required a quick Google search, consider this an introduction to the next show on the watchlist.

Paris Hilton as Britney Spears

Paris Hilton revisited Britney Spears’ look at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, channeling her friend’s iconic “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance. A reminder that the early 2000s will always be a reliable source of Halloween inspiration.

Kim Kardashian as Northwest

Kim Kardashian dressed like her daughter North West, recreating her blue hair, fake facial piercings, black grill and long, pointy nails. The resemblance was uncanny: “Girl, I thought it was the North,” wrote one commenter.

Alix Earle in Sorayama sculpture

She documented the transformation on TikTok, captioning an update “An hour and a half later.” Getting dressed was apparently an event in itself.
