The Halloween Costumes That Made Us Go “Wow, They Did That?!”

Janelle Monáe didn’t just show up; she showed out! She took the classic Cat in the Hat and gave it a total glow-up that made everyone nostalgic but also thinking, "I want this look!" Someone even said it looked like the character jumped out of Vogue instead of a kids' book. Talk about taking a childhood favorite to a whole new level!

Following the Netflix craze, Eugene Lee Yang took a page from K-Pop Demon Hunters and nailed his look down to the tiniest detail. Fans couldn’t get over how well he captured the character Jinu - like he really read the book on costume perfection.

Lizzo went all in and literally dressed as a mozzarella stick from Chili’s. Yes, you read that right! It might just be the best ad-campaign hybrid ever, with one person saying they made their boyfriend take them to Chili’s after seeing this. We're kinda craving some mozzarella sticks now.

Lily Allen rocked a Madeline look inspired by a children's book character with some spicy real-life drama. Let’s just say her costume had a dash of chaos that perfectly screamed Halloween vibes. Fans loved the nod to this dramatic story wrapped up in a cute outfit.

Kim Petras nailed the "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns" vibe by dressing up as Babydoll from Sucker Punch. Pretty much an instant classic, and fans were here for this killer Halloween tribute.

Quenlin Blackwell went back to the '80s and totally channeled Tina Turner, right down to the hairstyle and pose. She even struggled a bit with the heels (been there), but powered through with a dance move worthy of the legend herself.

Demi Lovato poked fun at an awkward old photo of herself by dressing up as her "less flattering twin." It’s all in good fun, and we love when celebs can laugh at themselves like champs on Halloween.

Halle Bailey pulled off a cool homage by mimicking Lisa Bonet’s iconic Rolling Stone cover pose. Some folks almost fell for it thinking it was a real magazine cover. That’s talent, right there.

Looks like Leigh-Anne is part of the K-Pop Demon Hunter fan club as well, dressing up as the main character Rumi. According to costume sellers, this look was everywhere this Halloween. Some fans called it more performance art than costume, so you know it’s next-level.

Madonna posted a Halloween look with a floral corset and big leather jacket, calling it 'Desperate Housewives' vibes. Fans had mixed reactions, with some saying it looked more like a "resting in peace" vibe, but hey, Halloween is all about the drama!
