On this side of the Atlantic, Halloween is often seen as just a children's holiday. On the other hand, in the United States, it is a real institution. Every year, celebrities compete in ingenuity to surprise their fans with disguises that are as creative as they are unexpected.
Some personalities opt for originality by choosing costumes inspired by cult films, cartoon characters or even works of art. They stop at nothing to stand out and entertain their admirers.
Pop culture in the spotlight for Halloween
Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker, for example, have chosen to transform themselves into one of the most iconic couples in popular culture. To celebrate Halloween, the two lovers played Morticia and Gomez Addams, the famous characters from the Addams family. Their choice of perfectly fitted black suits caused a sensation. Especially since the complicity between Kourtney and Travis was as palpable as that of the spouses created by Charles Addams, making their interpretation authentic and seductive.
For their part, Selena Gomez and her partner Benny Blanco decided to wear the costumes of Alice and the Mad Hatter, taken from the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. For her part, Chloe Bailey, recently seen alongside Russell Crowe in the film The Exorcism by Joshua John Miller, chose to play the seductive Jessica Rabbit.
In addition, Sophie Turner paid tribute to the saga Matrix with a black vinyl jumpsuit and a pair of very nineties glasses. If the ex-partner of Joe Jonas honored Trinity with a sexy look, Lupita Nyong'o pulled out all the stops with a terrifying outfit visibly inspired by the Sepulchres from the film Miss Peregrine and the Peculiar Children.
Heidi Klum, Demi Moore and Kim Kardashian ex æquo
The prize for best costume undoubtedly goes to Heidi Klum, who masterfully played a female version of ET, Steven Spielberg's famous extraterrestrial. She is not the only one to have stood out, since Demi Moore also made an impression with her Stephen King-style evil grandmother look.
And what about Kim Kardashian, who sparked strong reactions with her snakeskin outfit? A disguise that caused a buzz on social networks.
Finally, Paris Hilton chose safety by opting for a costume inspired by Britney Spears. An inspiration that works every time!
