Celebrities Debut Elaborate Costumes as Halloween Celebrations Peak

A wave of creative and often extravagant Halloween costumes from celebrities including Demi Lovato, Janelle Monae, and North West are dominating social media today, October 31, 2025, as Halloween festivities reach their peak.

Singer Demi Lovato drew attention by recreating her viral “Poot Lovato” meme, a reference to an alter-ego originating from a 2015 Tumblr post. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter, North West, and her friends also garnered attention for their coordinated costumes inspired by the Japanese kawaii-metal band BABYMETAL. These displays of creativity are setting a high bar for Halloween celebrations this year, influencing trends for amateur costume designers.

While many costumes have been well-received, some have sparked controversy; US model Julia Fox’s depiction of a blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy has been criticized as being in poor taste. Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party is expected to proceed in New York, and observers are watching to see if Jonathan Ross will resume hosting parties following his recent appearance on Celebrity Traitors. Last year saw parties hosted by Billie Eilish, Alix Earle, and Khloe Kardashian, though plans for similar events this year remain unconfirmed.
