The 8 Most Stylish Celeb Halloween Costumes of All Time

I must admit that I'm not much of a Halloween person. I usually half-ass my costumes using pieces I already own mixed with cheap Party City accessories. (A striped shirt with a sailor hat has been my go-to costume for several years running.) After compiling this story, I'm feeling extra inspired this year to come up with something a bit more fun. The costumes I included below aren't scary, out-there, inventive, or silly—they're just plain stylish. They can be re-created with things you already own or items you can absolutely wear again post-Halloween.

Celebrities such as Margot Robbie and Lupita Nyong'o have worn excellent Halloween costumes over the years, and they deserve to be revisited. I also included throwback looks from Jane Birkin, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Cindy Crawford—you're welcome. Scroll down to see the most stylish Halloween costumes.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
