Halloween isn’t even over yet, but it hasn’t stopped plenty of eager celebs from pulling out all the stops with their costumes. And wisely so: waiting until the actual night will probably mean that someone else has already worn a version of whatever you thought was a super original idea. Because — especially in celebrity world — dressing for Hallow’s Eve is almost an Olympic sport.
Yes the big day is today, but celebrities from Lizzo to Kylie Jenner Sophie Turner have already stepped out dressed in their scary best before dark. Well actually Turner went more down the sexy route (Trinity from the Matrix) and Lizzo’s costume was more metaphorically scary, as she dressed as a self-branded alternative to weight loss drug Ozempic.
Let us explain: the singer was dressed in a giant faux medicine box which was cinched at the waist with a measuring tape, and decorated with her name along with some small print including “FDA approved,” “diet suppressor,” and “for single patient use only.” And if you were wondering why she posed with a person dressed in a Cartman costume in some of her social media shots, it’s because the look is a nod a satirical episode of South Park entitled: The End of Obesity, which included a spoof advert for a product named Lizzo. The fictional potion promised to make people “no longer care about their weight.” Well, she couldn’t not really, could she.
Other scary star turns have included Anne Hathaway as a ghostly Statue of Liberty and Ice Spice as LeeLoo from the Fifth Element.
All of this before Heidi Klum’s epic annual party has even taken place! The model’s annual Heidiween party has been a tradition since 2000, and in the past few years she’s spent hours in makeup to become everything from a peacock to a giant, life-like worm. Who knows what’s been on this year’s task list for her prosthetics team and glam squad. But before we find out, here’s the very best celebrity costumes of the year so far.
