Social media is awash with Pumpkin Spice lattes and sad-girl autumn memes, which means it’s Halloween! And no one does Halloween quite like celebrities.
Heidi Klum is still the reigning queen of Halloween – her annual bash has seen her dress up as everyone from Jessica Rabbit to Princess Fiona and E.T. over the years – and her husband Tom Kaulitz is always game to get involved. Last year, the spookiest holiday of the year saw the German-American supermodel take to red carpet as the Medusa – complete with a headpiece that writhed with moving mechanical snakes – while Kaulitz stood next to her looking petrified – literally, since he attended dressed a soldier turned to stone by the Gorgon’s gaze.
These days, though, she faces increasingly stiff competition. While few quite match the couple’s efforts from a production stand point (last year’s look saw Heidi spend a whopping 10 hours in the make-up chair), A-list couples like Kravis (Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker), who love nothing more than a cult movie reference, have served up looks that made a play for Klum and Kaulitz’s crown.
From Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s take on vintage Barbie and Ken dolls, to Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka twinning as the Olsen sisters, revisit the most memorable celebrity Halloween costumes below.
