The pandemic didn’t stop anybody from getting all dressed up with nowhere to go
@janellemonaeJanelle Monáe
Never one to do things by halves, this year Janelle Monáe served not one, not two, but three spooky looks. Also appearing as The Joker and Chucky, the best of the hattrick was definitely her homage to the US VP debate fly. In a BTS video, comedian Jordan Firstman appeared as the fly’s publicist.
@ageofaquariaAquaria
Drag superstar Aquaria also served a number of Halloween lewks this year – including an homage to the infamous anti-fur protestor (and model who pushed her out of the way) who stormed the runway at John Galliano’s AW03 show for Christian Dior. This spec-quack-ular (sorry) look repurposed a prosthetic used for the RuPaul’s Drag Race star’s Halloween look from last year to turn her into Bubble Yum’s punk duck mascot.
@saweetieSaweetie
Saweetie showed us her range, appearing as RuPaul and all three members of Destiny’s Child on the cover of their “Bootylicious” single. The wig-snatcher though was definitely her homage to X-Men’s Mystique – created by make-up artist Rebekah Aladdin.
@lilnasxLil Nas X
Is that Nicki Minaj??? Not quite... instead make-up artist Gottmik transformed Lil Nas X into Nas Maraj – recreating the rapper’s iconic “Super Bass” catsuit moment.
@kyliejennerKylie Jenner
Also on double duty this spooky season was Kylie Jenner who dressed up with her pals as the Power Rangers, but also as a cobra. Bonus points to Stormi who appeared as a cute Minion.
@kendalljennerKendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner kept it sexy, but with a reminder to VOTE on Nov 3, cosplaying as Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire.
@rosalia.vtRosalía
Rosalía paid homage to Milla Jovovich as Leeloo in The Fifth Element – recreating her instantly recognisable highlighter orange hair and white cutout bikini/catsuit.
@lizzobeeatingLizzo
Like Monáe, Lizzo also decided to turn herself into 2020’s most famous fly – pictured here atop the vice president’s head. But that’s not all. Paying homage to the soundtrack of 2020, the singer also transformed into a watery, blue kitty AKA “WAP” as well.
@charli_xcxCharli XCX
Doing the most and least simultaneously, Charli XCX’s haggard witch face and nothing more is a 2020 mood – likely what we’ll all like if we make it to the end of the year.
@iamcardibCardi B
Simultaneously, sexy and snaky, Cardi B chose Medusa as her costume this year – appearing with a life-sized snake tail prosthetic created by Laurel DeWitt.
@celinedionCéline Dion
Channelling Nanny McPhee, Céline Dion transformed herself with snaggle tooth, warts, and all.
