The single most important day of any given year is finally upon us. Halloween, unlike other holidays, stands tall thanks to its unique ability to scare the ever-loving shit out of us.
It’s also the one day of the year we can reasonably embody someone else’s identity, allowing for a mini vacation from being ourselves.
While anyone can partake in the costume aspect of Halloween, celebrities often take this practice to a grand heights, thanks to budgets that us normies can only dream of. Luckily, we can live vicariously through them, which explains the existence of yet another celebrity costume roundup article like this one.
Keep reading for highlights from this year's celebrity costume offerings, including noteworthy entries from Travis Barker and Megan Thee Stallion, then be sure to dig into these underrated horror films over the weekend.

Julia Fox
“I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,” Julia told fans when sharing her Halloween 2025 look, which some had speculated as having also been inspired by the 1997 film The House of Yes. “When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, ‘I want them to see what they’ve done.’ The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history. Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation.”
Fox continued: “Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery. It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once. A woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality. It’s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance. Long live Jackie O.”
Tyga
For one of the more uniquely unsettling looks of Halloween 2025, Tyga turned to the 1984 classic Gremlins for inspiration.

Troye Sivan
Troye Sivan found himself so enamored with the experience of temporarily walking through life as The Dare that he’s now planning to do it all again, albeit merely “for leisure” next time.
