Even though Halloween has passed, some celebrities are hoping their outfits will be remembered for years to come.
Several famous individuals paid tribute to their fellow icons in pop culture, while others made an effort to adhere to the recently released costume regulations from SAG-AFTRA.
The guild recently banned members from cosplaying as well-known characters from major studio productions. Instead, they were prompted to don costumes inspired by generic characters such as ghosts, zombies, or witches.
The top celebrity Halloween costumes of 2023 include Adele, Maya Jama, Ed Sheeran, Paris Hilton, and Sharon Osbourne.
Heidi Klum
The reigning queen of crazy Halloween costumed, supermodel Heidi Klum strutted through her annual holiday bash dressed as a giant peacock – beak and all – with acrobats dressed as the feather of this bird’s plumage.
Tom Kaulitz, her husband, joined her on the red carpet in a costume resembling a giant peacock egg.
Last year, Klum broke the internet when she dressed up in a head-to-toe worm costume. Speaking to People, she explained that when it comes to Halloween costumes, Klum tries to “find things that people naturally wouldn’t do.”
She stated that while many choose to become nurses or police officers, she was constantly searching for something different.
Adele
Adele, who won a Grammy, marked the eerie holiday by performing at her Las Vegas show, “Weekends with Adele”. She donned the costume of Morticia Addams from The Addams Family, complete with a lengthy black wig, a full-length black gown, and bold smokey eye makeup.
Reworded: Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are a couple.
The Osbournes looked to Kanye West, who now goes by “Ye”, and his rumored spouse Bianca Censori for ideas for their Halloween outfits this year. Ozzy dressed up as Ye in a full black jumpsuit that covered his face, while Sharon imitated Censori’s polarizing “pillow” ensemble. Censori made headlines earlier this year when she was seen walking around Italy wearing sheer tights and a bodysuit, with a purple cushion covering her chest, which left fans puzzled.
Ed Sheeran
The British singer was inspired by the iconic horror movie Child’s Play, as Ed Sheeran dressed up as the infamous “Good Guy” doll, Chucky.
