Every year, after October 31st, we tell ourselves we have a whole year to plan a thought-out costume for next Halloween. Yet, like clockwork, the beginning of October arrives, and we find ourselves scrambling for ideas again. As Halloween is now quickly approaching, so is the appeal of low-effort costumes, reminding us that our chances of getting a last-minute outfit from Amazon in time are almost over. For anyone still trying to decide on what to dress up as this year, here’s a look back at some celebrity Halloween costumes for inspiration.
Gabbriette as a Witch
We appreciate a classic, simplistic costume. Last year, Gabbriette dressed up as a witch. This look is perfect for last-minute plans. And you might already have many of the pieces in your closet. She wore a witch hat with a long-sleeve maxi dress, sheer tights, pointed toe heels and the Florence In Black coat by Josephine Jones UK.

Devon Lee Carlson as a Devil
We love how Devon Lee Carlson always styles outfits with her own siganture twist, and this was certainly true with her take on a devil costume. She wore rhinestone horns with a red mini dress and sheer black tights, accessorized with an animal-print bag.

Sydney Carlson as a Clown
Sydney Carlson took her own unique approach to a clown costume. All you have to do is pair a bikini top with a clown collar and wear bold makeup.
Shop the look:
Zoë Kravitz as Rosemary
Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum teamed up for a couples costume, with her portraying Rosemary from the 1968 thriller Rosemary’s Baby and him dressed as a baby. She wore an effortless long nightgown and carried a fake knife prop.
Shop the look:
Alexa Chung as a Mermaid
Style icon Alexa Chung created her rendition of a mermaid, wearing a shell-shaped bikini top with a green sequin skirt.
Shop the look:
Hailey Bieber as Mia Thermopolis
Last year, Hailey Bieber was Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries, making it a timely choice with the recent announcement of The Princess Diaries 3. Alternatively, you could try one of the Britney Spears costumes she wore in 2021.
Shop the look:
Kim Kardashian as Cher Horowitz
In 2023, Kim and North did a mother-daughter costume as Cher Horowitz and Dionne Davenport from Clueless.
Shop the look:
Kylie Jenner as an Angel
Like the witch or devil costumes, wearing all white and adding angel wings is always a solid last-minute option.
Shop the look:
Kendall Jenner as a Fembot
In 2018, Kendall Jenner was a Fembot, channeling the iconic character from Austin Powers. With an extensive collection of costumes from over the years, we can always turn to the Kardashian-Jenner family for inspiration, as they always dress up for Halloween each year.
