As the age-old tabloid section says, “Stars: they’re just like us.” At the very least, celebrities are just like us in the sense that they also require oxygen to breathe, food to subsist on, and shelter to live in. Unlike many of us, however, some celebrities have near-limitless resources, which they use to fuel luxuries, fantasies, and skincare routines.
Celebrities’ ample time, money, and creativity are on full display around Halloween, when they upstage us all with elaborate and fantastical costumes. Take Heidi Klum’s Jessica Rabbit costume, which she wore to her annual Halloween party in 2015. It took two makeup artists, nine hours, and a rubber mask to bring this eerily accurate costume to life.
In the end, though, we admire these celebrities’ commitment to the art of Halloween. Even if we don’t have two makeup artists and nine hours to spare, we can be inspired by their costumes when we go to create our own. And maybe, if we’re really lucky, we’ll be invited to join Heidi Klum’s party one day.
Amber Rose and her son Sebastian as Tiffany and Chucky
In 2017, Amber Rose recruited her son to play the starring role in her devious Halloween costume. He would be Chucky, the evil doll of Child’s Play, and she, his victim. Mwahaha.

It all goes down, when Melton as Venom is seen hitting on Camila Mendes who plays Apa’s love interest on the show.

Halsey as Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby
Singer Halsey embodied the jazz-era, literary icon perfectly. Who would have thought the book we all had to read in high school would make for such good costume inspiration years later?

Ever wonder what Heidi Klum would look like as a nonagenarian? She showed us in 2013.
“I think one of my favorite costumes was the year I was a 95-year-old version of myself,” Klum told Fast Company of her costume. “I was turning 40 and everyone kept asking me how I was feeling about it, so I wanted to show them I wasn’t afraid of aging or showing what I would look like as an older person.”

Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson
Bette Midler automatically won Halloween when, in 2016, she dressed up as Winifred Sanderson, her character from the 1993 Disney Original Hocus Pocus. Maybe the costume sent magical vibes into the universe, because the Disney Channel recently announced it’s planning to remake Hocus Pocus.
