Is it really Halloween if celebrities don’tgo all out with their costumes? The spookiest night of the year is just around the corner — which means everyone from actors and artists to athletes and public figures is showcasing their latest looks on social media. Whether it’s an obscure, avant-garde take on a larger concept or a faithful — and playful — transformation into a fellow celebrity, the stars have a knack for dressing up.
Below, Yahoo has rounded up the best Halloween costumes of 2026 — so far.
Paris Hilton and her family
Paris Hilton continued her tradition of dressing up as Britney Spears, this time recreating the pop star’s look in the “I’m a Slave 4 U” music video. Hilton also included her family in this year’s costumes. The Simple Lifestar, her husband Carter Reum and their two children brought characters from Beauty and the Beastto life. Reum was the Beast, son Phoenix was Lumiere, daughter London was Chip and Hilton was Belle — a decision that garnered backlash online. Those weren’t their only costumes, though: Hilton also dressed up as goth matriarch Morticia Addams, while her hubby and kiddos rounded out the Addams family.
Lily Allen
Ticketmaster… but make it wearable? Lily Allen dressed up as the ticketing platform’s infamous seating map, wearing a matching white puffer and leotard covered with little blue dots. (We can’t get over the “Stage” detail across the collar.) Allen shared her costume on Instagram with the caption, “Never beating the allegations. #bluedotfever.” One fan explained the West End Girlsinger’s costume in the comments.
“For anyone who is missing the joke – Lily canceled her Auckland concert due to being sick,” she wrote. “People online said it was because she didn’t sell enough tickets. Geddit now? ”
Carson Daly and the ‘Today’ show hosts
During Friday’s broadcast, the Todayshow hosts debuted their transformations for this year’s festivities. Standout costumes included Savannah Guthrie as an old-school news anchor, Al Roker as Gumby and Jenna Bush Hager as Phoebe Buffay from Friends. Our personal favorite? Carson Daly, who dressed up as “Choosin’ Texas” hitmaker Ella Langley. Daly hilariously brought the country darling to life — complete with her signature fringe.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian doesn’t play when it comes to Halloween. This year, the Skims founder dressed up as someone near and dear to her heart: her daughter North West! From her long, electric-blue hair and piercings to her signature hand-covering-mouth pose, Kardashian was the spitting image of North.
Keke Palmer and her son
Keke Palmer and her son, Leodis, channeled 1995-era Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson from their acclaimed “Scream” music video. Palmer transformed into the “All for You” singer, while 3-year-old Leodis made an adorable King of Pop.

Owen Thiele and Benito Skinner

Thiele transformed into the British R&B singer, while Skinner channeled the Swedish pop girlie.

Their costume even caught Larsson’s attention: The “Midnight Sun” singer commented “Ateeeee” on the duo’s joint Instagram post.
