It is Halloween once again and two things are inevitable – running out of sweets before young crowds of trick or treaters have knocked on your door, and social media feeds being inundated with celebrities in costumes.
So to save you some aimless scrolling, here are some of the best celebrity Halloween costumes we’ve seen this year.
GettyHeidi Klum is famous for both her annual Halloween party and the incredible costumes she wears to them.
This year, for the 23rd instalment of the event, Klum and husband, German guitarist, Tom Kaulitz dressed as E.T., the extra-terrestrial from Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic film.
Klum’s outfit was complete with a glowing first finger on her left hand, just like the original character, and a wig of blonde hair to match her own.
But Klum wasn’t the only celebrity to dress as E.T.
Janelle Monae appeared as the endearing alien for a Halloween special of The Jennifer Hudson show.
Getty ImagesMonae is similarly famous for going the extra mile with her costumes, and told Hollywood Reporter: “Halloween is such a happy space for me, it has been since I was a kid.
“It opens a larger conversation of how do we become agents of joy? How do we become agents of happy?
“Bringing Halloween experiences and creative experiences is heart work, not hard work. I do this because my heart needs it.”

But she still made sure to get in the spirit – donning a ghostly-white wig and contact lenses.

Getty ImagesIt’s not often that you get thirsty looking at Halloween costumes, but Pixie Lott mastered her look this year by dressing as a fashionable Aperol Spritz cocktail.
The 33-year-old also completed her look with a slice of orange as a hat.
Getty ImagesMeanwhile, Maya Jama attended her own Halloween bash in a Beetlejuice-inspired costume.
Fans might recognise her vibrant green hair and monochrome suit from the 1988 film, or the sequel which hit cinemas earlier this year.
Rather than imitating the man himself, she described her costume as “Beetlejuice’s unruly niece”.

Amelia Dimoldenberg really reached into the Disney/Pixar archives for this look, as she appeared as the character Roz from the 2001 film Monsters Inc.

Lizzo definitely wins the award for most timely Halloween costume.
She dressed as a fake weight loss drug, which was dreamt up in a recent South Park episode that joked about her body positivity message.

The singer posted on Instagram in September: “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after five months of weight training and calorie deficit…”
