Has celebrity Halloween really happened if Heidi Klum hasn’t thrown her annual bash yet? I would argue no, but that didn’t stop some celebs from dressing up this past weekend. I get it: A Thursday Halloween presents an awkward conundrum, and there’s a lot of other stuff going on right now. I won’t fault Selena Gomez for jumping the gun. Instead, I will celebrate the first of this year’s two Halloweekends by showing you the best celeb costumes so far. We can all check back in later this week to discuss Klum’s hyperrealistic iguana costume or whatever she’s cooking up this year. Let’s dive in, shall we?
What if Trinity from The Matrix was even sexier? Finally someone tackled that question. Side note: I love that her friends went as pre- and post-makeover Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries — very cute! Speaking of the Princess of Genovia …
Don’t get me wrong, I love whatever is going on here, but I am wondering what exactly the costume is. The “Boo York City” shirt is our biggest clue. Is she a haunted Statue of Liberty? A pre-Giuliani Times Square? A pun that turned into a costume?
Here we have Lizzo dressing up as Ozempic, sort of. She’s dressing up as the version of Ozempic from South Park, which was called Lizzo. Are you following? That’s why Cartman is in the background. Good for her for rolling with the joke.
These two made their couple’s-costume debut with an Alice in Wonderland theme — fun! Gomez is Alice and Blanco is the Mad Hatter, and while their costumes are very well done, I can’t take my eyes off of that beautiful couch. If you know any details about it, please get in touch.
Keeping with the Alice in Wonderland theme, Alix Earle eschewed the easy pun (Alix in Wonderland) and went as a sexy Cheshire Cat complete with facial prosthetics and cat-eye contact lenses. I have to hand it to her, that is very funny.
The orange-haired rapper went as the orange-haired humanoid Leeloo from The Fifth Element. She even had a movie-accurate Multi Pass prop, a perfect touch.
Stay in touch.
