Whether you still have Halloween festivities coming up in your social calendar, are already planning for next year, or are simply keen to browse some of this year's best – scroll on for the Vogue round up
Last year, Hollywood delivered on the Halloween costume front. From Kylie Jenner’s haute bride of Frankenstein moment courtesy of Jean Paul Gaultier to her sister Kendall Jenner’s nod to Toy Story, celebrities proved they are as devoted as ever when it comes to making a splash on Instagram. This year, the creative spirit clearly remains high — it’s not even officially Halloween yet and we’ve seen Hailey Bieber transform into Carmen Electra in the horror-comedy Scary Movie and Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler’s contemporary take on Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol.
Other noteworthy moments from previous years include Hailey paying homage to Britney Spears, Rihanna as the rapper Gunna, and Anderson Paak dressing up as the album covers of Stevie Wonder, Prince and Bruno Mars. But don’t forget about when Margot Robbie moonlighted as Ginger Spice, Cardi B rocked up as Medusa and a heavily pregnant Emily Ratajkowski mimicked Demi Moore’s legendary Vanity Fair cover shoot.
