Meet Hollywood’s most Halloween-crazy celebs: from the Kardashian-Jenners’ and Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s coordinated costumes, to Vanessa Hudgens and queen of Halloween Heidi Klum’s OTT looks
When October 31 rolls around, the stars don’t just celebrate – they transform.
From whimsical family costumes to jaw-dropping solo get-ups and epic parties, Hollywood’s wealthiest love to pull out all the stops and spare no expense to have a little fun on All Hallow’s Eve.
And we love to see it! After all, if you’ve got it – haunt it. Here are some of the celebrities who famously go all out for Halloween every year:
All hail the Halloween queen: Heidi Klum
Klum’s commitment to her character is nothing short of astounding. Her costumes often feature custom-made wardrobe pieces, elaborate hair and make-up, imaginative props, and even facial prosthetics. Some of her wildest looks over the years have included: the blue-skinned Hindu goddess Kali; a cadaver, complete with a gurney and blood-spattered doctors; a cane-wielding elderly woman; Princess Fiona from Shrek; and even herself – arriving to her party with an entourage of Klum clones.
Last year, she surpassed all her previous efforts by dressing up as a – somehow very convincing – worm, making it abundantly clear that no one does Halloween quite like Heidi.
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are #familyhalloweengoals
Actor Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka have perfected the art of coordinated family Halloween costumes. As parents to twins Harper and Gideon, the duo have been dressing up as a foursome since 2011, when they started the tradition of four-person thematic ensembles by dressing as Peter Pan characters. Since then, the family has become even more creative.
Their inventive attire often touches on iconic pop culture references, from The Wizard of Oz and freak show performers to illustrious artists like Andy Warhol and Van Gogh, and even playful nods to fast-food mascots, including Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald.
Ghouls just wanna have fun: the Kardashian-Jenners
Meanwhile, Kylie has channelled characters including the Bride of Frankenstein and Elvira, whereas Kendall gravitates toward figures from classic films, such as Andy from Toy Story and a Fembot from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
In one particularly iconic Halloween costume outing from 2018, all of the KJ sisters dressed up as Victoria’s Secret Angels. This took place long before the current feud between Kim and Kourtney – so don’t expect any more family costumes any time soon!
Vanessa Hudgens creepin’ it real all month long
Why limit yourself to just one costume during the spooky season? Vanessa Hudgens loves Halloween so much, the High School Musical star has become known for wearing multiple different costumes throughout the month of October, unveiling them one by one online to her 51.1 million Instagram followers. Some of her most iconic looks include a lusty yet murderous Black Widow, Catwoman, and Natalie Portman’s iconic deranged ballerina character from the film Black Swan.
Summoning the spirits with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber
- Hollywood’s most successful stars have something of an advantage when it comes to epic Halloween outfits – money and help from costume designers – but some celebs go to greater lengths than others
- Kim Kardashian loves coordinating outfits with pal Jonathan Cheban, Neil Patrick Harris ropes in his whole family, and Vanessa Hudgens loves the holiday so much she prepares multiple looks
