I fear Poot Lovato singing Sabrina Carpenter’s “House Tour” in a basement already won Halloween 2025, so it’s over now. No one can come close to Demi Lovato’s level of costume genius… that video will live on in pop culture history forever.
But still, I’m very impressed by a lot of celebs’ costumes this year. The A-listers are going above and beyond! They’re making fun of themselves, dressing up as their peers, and totally transforming into beloved or niche characters. (Obviously, it helps that they all have professional stylists, glam teams, custom costumes, boatloads of free time, and whatnot.) After some delightful Halloween scrolling on Instagram and TikTok, I feel strongly that a few of these out-of-the-box costumes deserve a special shoutout. So without further ado, here are the standout celeb Halloween costumes of 2025.
Demi Lovato
@ddlovatohi AD it’s me poot, welcome to my basement!♬ House Tour – Sabrina Carpenter
Objectively the greatest costume I’ve seen this year and possibly the greatest costume I’ve ever seen in my life.
Benito Skinner
This made me cackle… we love a king who can laugh at the trolls.
Bowen Yang
Bowen’s adorable Tingle from The Legend of Zelda costume is everything.
Troye Sivan
Send ’em to The Dare, yeah I think he’s with it! (This caption makes me wanna dress up as The Dare.)
Keke Palmer
Keke’s Snoop Dogg look and impression of the rapper deserves some kind of award. I’m speechless.
Paris Hilton
Paris paying tribute to Britney? A heartwarming moment in blonde icon herstory.
Janelle Monae
Janelle’s back on her usual Halloween bullshit with this showstopping Cat in the Hat fit!
Jade Thirwall
Jade went full Gremlin with green body paint and prosthetics, and I respect it.
