The Best Celebrity Costumes From Halloween 2021

After last year’s frightful holiday that mostly involved everyone celebrating at home, Halloween 2021 had an early start among our favorite celebrities. We’ve seen a few famous faces share their full-fledged “Spooky Szn” looks on social media more than a week before October 31, which could serve as inspiration for those still looking for some last-minute Halloween costume ideas. But once the holiday weekend arrived, it was dress-up overload across our social media meeds.

Some celebs went for sinister looks, like Megan Thee Stallion dressed up as Pinhead from Hellraiser, while others opted for more fantastical ensembles. To celebrate her 26th birthday, Doja Cat got in on the Halloween spirit and threw a costume-themed party dressed up as Princess Kida from Atlantis. Her famous friends, including Billie Eilish, Winnie Harlow, and Rickey Thompson, got in on the sea-inspired festivities, as well.

Of course, Halloween wouldn’t be complete without a few couple-style costumes, and newly engaged pop-punk couple Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker kickstarted the scary holiday dressed up as none other than the ill-fated lovers Sid and Nancy.

Over the weekend, everyone Kendall Jenner to Kid Cudi threw a party to celebrate Halloween, and Harry Styles even got in on the costume action while on tour, too. The Fine Line star hosted “Harryween” with fans arriving to Madison Square Garden in their own form of fancy dress. As for Styles himself, he channeled his inner main character energy as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and the rest of his band played along, as well, in their own character costumes from the old-school film.
