The Most Creative Celebrity Costume Looks to Steal

Celebrities get paid to dress up — whether on a movie set, during a concert performance or simply walking the red carpet. So, it’s no wonder that they enjoy creating their own costume looks for Halloween, costume parties or, if you’re Lady Gaga, an average Monday. Hey, no one’s judging!

Of course, there’s one celebrity who’s name is now ubiquitous with Halloween. Supermodel Heidi Klum has hosted her annual “no costume, no entry” Halloween party since 2000 and has had an equally impressive costume each year. While she certainly provides a lot of inspiration, there are several creative celebrities who go all out for their own blowout parties.

So, if you’re in need of a creative costume idea, look no further than these experts who make dressing up look fun for the whole family.

In what seemed like a not-so-subtle dig, Mel B (of Spice Girls fame) dressed up as fellow Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham to Klum's 2018 party.
