Best Celebrity Halloween Costumes

Trisha Paytas and Moses Hacmon as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Paytas has been everybody under the sun, from Alexander Hamilton to King Tut and Ice Spice, but this Halloween, she conquered the pop queen of the new age.

Paytas was wearing a red Kansas City Chiefs sweatshirt with a black skirt, and Hacmon was wearing the same red and beige checkered shirt that Kelce had on in a photo of the duo a few weeks ago. Honestly? They killed it.

The cosplay queen outdid it on a costume that a lot of people predicted was going to be overused and boring this Halloween season, but this recreation is accurate and sweet. Plus, Paytas looks stunning.

Hopefully, this garners some sort of response from Swift, but seeing as the superstar is about to hit the road on “The Eras Tour” once again, the best that Paytas will get is a mention from @PopCrave. - Adrianna Gallucci

Alexina Graham as “Mad Hatter”

Alexina Graham, the first red-headed Victoria's Secret Angel, leaned into her natural beauty and transformed completely into the provoking, impolite and discourteous Mad Hatter.

Graham was identical to Johnny Depp’s adaptation of the Mad Hatter in the 2010 film: “Alice in Wonderland” directed by Tim Burton. She really turned the red carpet into “a land full of wonder, mystery and danger” at Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party in New York City.

The white skin, fluffy eyebrows and disheveled hat while being accessorized with the Hatter’s infamous clock and a small white bunny matched the spookiness the Hatter possesses.

Graham usually struts on red carpets with feminine energy, a fresh face and tamed hair, but not on Halloween. While still being elegant, she threw away the Victoria's Secret Angel energy to embody the bizarre character of the Mad Hatter.

Graham, who usually finds a way to flaunt her long legs or structured facial features, still won Halloween with her out-of-the-box character transformation. - Natalie Simone

Megan Thee Stallion as the Talking Flower from Alice in Wonderland

Megan Thee Stallion brought botanical brilliance to her Tim Burton-inspired “Hottieween” party this year when she donned one of the Talking Flowers from "Alice in Wonderland."

The event, held at Atlanta’s Pullman Yards, showcased an array of costumes of various unique characters from Burton’s iconic films, including "Beetlejuice," "Edward Scissorhands" and, of course, the live-action "Alice in Wonderland."

The Houston rapper truly blossomed above the rest, captivating everyone with her transformation into a see-through, green bodysuit with vines flowing down her body and a show-stopping pink rose petal that bloomed over her head.

Her makeup added a touch of enchantment to her outfit, leaving both her face and chest dazzled in light pink tones that complemented the rose petal above her head. She even added a glow of shimmer in her lipliner, contour and eyeshadow.

As another whimsical detail, she matched her makeup by dying a portion of her hair light pink and brushing her baby hairs into small swoops around her forehead.

While Megan Thee Stallion always “wows” with her Halloween transformations, her detailed Talking Flower character stole the show and made her almost unrecognizable. Her otherworldly portrayal made her costume unlike anything seen before in the history of celebrity Halloween costumes.

After viewing the stunning outfit on my social platforms, I am already on the edge of my seat for her 2024 “Hottieween” costume. -Emmy Vitali
