Celebrities including Demi Lovato, Janelle Monae, North West, and Jade have recently showcased a range of Halloween costumes, spanning from the elaborate and impressive to the downright hilarious.
While practicality may be sacrificed – with some ensembles perhaps unsuitable for public transport – these looks compensate with creativity and artistic execution.
Last year saw lavish Halloween parties hosted by figures like Billie Eilish, Alix Earle, and Khloe Kardashian, though it remains to be seen if they will reprise their roles as hosts this year.
Heidi Klum’s renowned Halloween bash is, however, slated to proceed in New York, and anticipation is building to see if Jonathan Ross will re-enter the party-hosting scene, following his successful appearance on “Celebrity Traitors.”
