And Now, the Best Celeb Halloween Costumes of 2021

After a very subdued holiday last year, 2021 proved to be chock-full of scary, inventive, funny, unusual, and gorgeous Halloween costumes—especially in Hollywood. I've been seriously impressed with celebrities' level of commitment to their costumes. With wigs, elaborate makeup, spot-on accessories, and more, they really hit the nail on the head with these looks. 

Of course, there were plenty of costumes inspired by the most popular TV shows and movies. You have Mindy Kaling as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, Kris Jenner as Cruella de Vil from Emma Stone's movie, and Squid Game actress Lee Yoo-Mi dressed as the doll from the show. Oh, and don't forget the most famous Halloween celebrity of them all: Heidi Klum, who didn't hold back with her scary costume. Without further ado, scroll down to see the very best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2021.

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.
