The Monday blues were non-existent yesterday as us pop culture enthusiasts were blessed with an abundance of vibrant costumes over the Halloweekend. From celebrity cosplay, superheroes and villains, to childhood favourites, it was almost impossible to pick a favourite. Here are some of the best celebrity Halloween costumes from 2022.
Addison Rae
Harking back to 2009, a year that defined the trajectory of popular culture, Addison Rae paid tribute to Lady Gaga’s unforgettable VMA performance of Paparazzi.
Kendall Jenner
Jessie from the Toy Story franchise has never looked more fashionable until now. Kendall Jenner took to Instagram to reveal her take on Jessie with cow-print chaps.
Kim Kardashian
Superheroes are a Halloween staple, and Kim Kardashian pulled out all the stops to replicate X-Men’s Mystique.
Machine Gun Kelly & Megan Fox
Hulu’s hit show Pam & Tommy has invited an influx of interpretations this Halloween. But MGK and Megan Fox’s take stood out from the rest, recreating one of the couple’s classic looks.
Shawn Mendes & Winnie Harlow
Shawn Mendes managed to merge from the drought of male Halloween costumes with the Indiana Jones costume we’ve all been waiting for. Simple but effective, Shawn was not afraid to be risque. Model Winnie Harlow accompanied him in head-to-toe Cleopatra, Egyptian goddess realness.
Lori Harvey
Celebrities cosplaying as other celebrities for Halloween is always exciting. But when they get it right like Lori Harvey as 2003 Me, Myself and I, and 2006 B’Day Beyoncé, it becomes an immediate win. This year, Harvey showed that it’s not just the look that matters but the attitude you carry.
Keke Palmer
Miss Keke gave us not one, but two show-stopping costumes. Debuting Halloweekend with a beautifully approach to Rapunzel with lengthy braids, she showed an eagerness to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Rouge in an Instagram post captioned ‘In your Marvel Universe, I’ll always be Rogue’.
Lizzo
I love a celebrity who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and what’s less serious than Lizzo as Marge Simpson?
Janelle Monae
Supernatural fantasies were a popular theme this Halloween. Janelle Monae surprised us with a cosplay of Diva Plavalaguna from 1997’s The Fifth Element.
Henry Golding
In light of the release of Top Gun: Maverick earlier this year, Henry Golding showed homage to leading actor Tom Cruise in a khaki aviator fit.
Paris Hilton
Dressed as who she describes as her ‘childhood icon’ Paris Hilton dabbled in cosplaying, giving us a spot-on interpretation of Japanese anime icon, Sailor Moon.
