Best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2021

See who went all-out for spooky SZN ๐Ÿ‘ป

By

The best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2021 are those that involve A-listers going the extra mile and committing to their look - none of this 'I've come dressed as myself', or the generic 'I'm a cat' nonsense (which, can I just say, I've definitely done in the past as a last-minute costume solution).

Perhaps our renewed excitement for all things spooky is due, at least in part, to last Halloween being something of a non-event for many. Or maybe we're just excited for a good ol' dress-up event - whatever the reason, we're more than ready for some incred A-lister looks. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our round-up of the most memorable celebrity Halloween costumes of all time.

From the queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum's scary zombie-inspired costume, to Megan Thee Stallion's gloriously extra Hellraiser look - there's no shortage of fab celebrity outfits to feast your eyes on. And we're waiting with bated breath to see what the Kardashians, Beyoncรฉ, Lizzo, Halsey, Miley Cyrus, Cardi B, and more, wear for their respective celebrations.

Scroll through to see the best celebrity Halloween costumes of this year, as they happen.
