Spooky season is here.
With Halloween upon us, celebrities have been dressing up (or down, depending on the costume) for the occasion, sometimes with several looks throughout the week.
So, if you’re still looking for last-minute ideas on what to be, here are some of the outfits that famous faces have donned.
Lizzo
The American singer made headlines this week for dressing up in full Marge Simpson get-up, with bright yellow skin, tall blue hair and a skintight green sequinned dress.
She also dressed up as rapper Blueface's girlfriend Chrisean Rock, complete with missing front tooth and neck tattoo, but received backlash over using a woman who appears to be in an unhealthy relationship for costume inspiration.
Janelle Monae
The singer, famous for songs including I Like That, painted herself light blue and channelled 1997 Bruce Willis sci-fi The Fifth Element, dressed up as Diva Plavalaguna, the singer in the film.
"It's Halloween and I'm in my element," she wrote to her 4.6 million Instagram followers.
Kim Kardashian
The reality TV mogul also whipped out the body paint for her outfit, transforming into Marvel character Mystique for the occasion, with full deep-blue outfit, skin and bright red hair.
She posted a video of her admiring the look to Twitter, writing "Hey Marvel".
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly caused a stir by dressing up as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, inspired by the 2022 mini series Pam & Tommy.
As with Lizzo, the couple received some negative comments over dressing up as abuser and abused. "But are these even costumes," Fox wrote on Instagram, to which someone replied, "Idk does he abuse you like Tommy did?"
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton channelled her "childhood icon" Sailor Moon, from the Japanese superheroine anime television series of the same name from the 1990s.
Lili Reinhart, Madelaine Petsch, and Camila Mendes
The trio of actresses from Riverdale did a great impression of the three witches from Hocus Pocus, for which a sequel only hit Disney+ this year, starring original coven Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy.
"It's just a little Hocus Pocus," Reinhart wrote on Instagram.
Addison Rae
The famous TikToker covered herself in fake blood to recreate Lady Gaga's notable 2009 VMAs performance.
"I’ll follow you until you love me," Rae wrote alongside the images on Instagram.
Rebel Wilson, Ramona Agruma, Jacob Andreou, Marissa Montgomery and Carly Steel
Rebel Wilson was Barbie this Halloween, dressing up with her friends as the popular doll, and one Ken, in "limited-edition" boxes. "Come on Barbie let's go party," she wrote, referencing Aqua's 1997 hit Barbie Girl.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba and a friend dressed up as the creepy twins from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic horror film The Shining, saying she test drove it at GT Dave's Halloween party last weekend.
North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm West as Aaliyah, Snoop Dogg, Sade and Eazy-E
Kim Kardashian shared a photo showing her four children dressed as some of hip-hop and R&B’s most famous names from the past. “The icons — Aaliyah, Sade, Snoop, Eazy E,” she wrote on Instagram.
Kylie Jenner as the Bride of Frankenstein
Jenner shared retro black-and-white images of herself on Instagram showing herself dressed as the Bride of Frankenstein. “Happy Halloweekend,” she captioned the first post.
Jade Thirlwall as Princess Jasmine from 'Aladdin'
The Little Mix member revealed she had dressed up like Princess Jasmine from Aladdin for Halloween with a video on TikTok. “Happy Halloween Huns,” she posted with a ghost emoji.
Eugene Lee Yang as Eddie and Vecna from 'Stranger Things'
Best known for being a member of The Try Guys, Yang dressed as not one but two characters from the Netflix show Stranger Things. On Twitter, he uploaded a video showing himself as Eddie Munson, complete with guitar, while the clip then changes to showing him as villain Vecna. “Chrissy … it’s time,” he tweeted.
Doja Cat as Batwoman
The American rapper has shared images of herself dressed up as her version of Batwoman, wearing all black with a pointy shoulder leather jacket and a short bob hairstyle. In the first photo, she simply used a bat emoji as the caption.
JoJo Siwa as Draco Malfoy from 'Harry Potter'
The YouTuber uploaded a video of herself to Instagram with her short platinum blonde hair slicked back, while wearing a black-and-green robe and voicing along to a clip from Harry Potter. “Draco Siwa” she captioned the post with three snake emojis, the animal of Slytherin house.
Megan Thee Stallion as Megan Thee Pumpkin
Posting on October 1, the US rapper shared images of herself with a pumpkin over her head doing ordinary things like reading a book on the couch and answering the door in her pyjamas. While she didn’t leave a caption with the post, she did select the location for it as “Halloween Town.”
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell as the king and queen from 'Cinderella'
Goldie Hawn shared a photo of her and long-time partner Kurt Russell dressed as the king and queen from Cinderella with their granddaughter Rani Rose (who is the daughter of Kate Hudson and Danny Fujikawa), who is also seen wearing a blue gown and tiara. Although the post was to celebrate Rani’s fourth birthday on October 2, it also gets a pass as it coincides with Halloween.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
