The Most Creative Celebrity Halloween Costumes of 2025

Even though October 31 is officially behind us, the rollout of celebrity Halloween costumes are bound to continue over the next couple of days. Even so, it’s safe to say some of the best looks have already been revealed.

Of course, you can’t talk about celebrity Halloween costumes without mentioning Heidi Klum, whose annual Halloween bash serves as the platform for her own spectacular transformations. This year, she sat in the makeup chair for nine hours to morph into a particularly monstrous version of Medusa, complete with mechanical snake hair and a stone version of her husband, Tom Kaulitz.

While Klum’s look did not disappoint, plenty of Hollywood’s finest planned their own parties and photoshoots to showcase their makeup and costuming skills—or, at least, the skills of the stylists and makeup artists they hired to bring their artistic vision to life.

For example, Janelle Monáe has already had multiple viral transformations this Halloweek, from her turn as the Cat in the Hat to a topless tattooed vampire on Muscle Beach. Finally, for her annual star-studded Wondaween bash, she let a shark take a bite out of yet another glamorous blood-sucking creature.

Here are some of this year’s best celebrity Halloween costumes so far.

No one does Halloween quite like Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz, who transformed into a fully reptilian take on Medusa and a soldier she turned to stone.
