Everyone knows that Halloween is all about slaying, whether that be unstoppable forces of evil or dressing as a sexy cowboy from your favourite childhood movie. Every November 1st, when we roll out of bed and pick up our phone, we get to be privy to the most iconic looks of the night before. Halloween is that very special time in every girl’s life when they get to dress up however they want, and nobody gets to say a thing about it, and we want to celebrate that. Here are the very best Halloween fits from this year…
Sugar, spice and all things nice – that’s what Devon Lee Carson and her photographer friend Alana O’Herlihy are serving this October, and were eating it up. Batman and the many characters that belong to a multiverse of comic books that exist are great inspirations for Halloween, especially since they’ve been made and remade by some of the biggest names in the industry. Following in the footsteps of Drew Barrymore and Debi Mazar, the duo donned opposing lingerie – from fishnets to fur – and blessed us with this incredible shoot.
Sailor Moon is great inspiration generally speaking in fashion, so it’s no surprise that one of our longest-serving celebrities would transform into everyone’s favourite foe fighting schoolgirl. Dressed in bedazzled red boots, dress, gloves and headpiece, Paris looked completely adorable with just a hint of that Y2K style she helped birth.
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham may or may not be part of a family feud, we aren’t here to comment on that, but for one night, they truly were the star-crossed lovers kept apart by a terrible family conflict. Inspired by Romeo + Juliet, the duo dressed in the Halloween fits from the actual movie and looked incredible in doing so – and might we add, very happy!
Nikita Dragon is the queen of glam, whether that be her day-to-day look or her Rolodex of Halloween looks, from the entire Tellytubbies squad to Princess Azula of Avatar: The Last Airbender. From the black PVC knee-high stilettos, to the cape, and even the slick wig, Nikita looked straight out of a cartoon.
Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln! Kendall Jenner sure knows how to take any look to the next level, our previous favourite had been the Fem Bot-inspired look from Austin Powers but this one certainly takes the cake. Though we are sure this one ruffled some feathers, we like to think that as long as something isn’t offensive to someone, then it’s on the cards. After all, it’s not like this is Kendall’s first public outcry rodeo.
We loved Rosalia’s Leeloo costume from last Halloween, and we certainly weren’t disappointed by this year’s Asuka fit. Everyone’s favourite Evangelion redhead is a simple but sick look, from the anime hair to the skin type body suit. We’re just glad that rosalia is as much of a weeb as we are…
Jinkies! Haley Kiyoko and Becca Tilley teamed up to solve the mystery of the best costume duo of the year, and we think they found the answer. From the coloured tights to the shiny wigs and even the magnifying glass, this was a masterclass on how to dress up with your bestie for next Halloween.
Every year Lizzo shocks and amazes us with a new costume, and we can honestly say that not in our wildest dreams did we ever see this coming. We call lots of people icons, and every Halloween lots of people dress up as these icons, but truly who is more iconic than the blue-haired matriarch of everyone’s favourite yellow family? We love this look because it combines Lizzos creativity, her commitment to the bit, and her goofy personality all in one. After all, the best costumes showcase your personality.
