The craziest celebrity Halloween looks you don't want to miss

Halloween is the best time to express yourself and show your incredible sense of fashion. Nothing is too much. Cute, dark, sexy, spooky, provocative or outlandish - bring it all, as long as it is not 'normal' and 'boring'.

These Hollywood celebrities went to extra lengths to stun the world with their scary outfits. Some of them are no less than works of art. But although the A-listers have an advantage in the form of unlimited make-up artists' and stylists' hours, we can borrow some of these paid-for ideas and do not worse than them.

From Heidi Klum's stomach-turning alien to Hailey Bieber's moving tribute to Britney Spears, here are the five-star Halloween looks you don't want to miss.

1. Nicki Minaj as Harley Quinn and Kenneth Petty as The Joker

The rapper and her husband went the comic book route for their couples costume in 2019. Margot Robbie and Joaquin Phoenix would approve.

2. Kendall Jenner as Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire

Kendall Jennerchanneled Pamela Anderson's character from the 1996 cult-classic film Barb Wire on Halloween 2020. The definition of sexy.

3. Heidi Klum as Jessica Rabbit

Known as the Queen of Halloween, the model has lifted the lid on just how professional make-up artists can help transform slim physique into the cartoon proportions of Jessica Rabbit.

4. Lizzo as Baby Yoda

For her first costume of 2021, Lizzo went full Baby Yoda all around Hollywood, taking selfies with people who didn't even realize they were getting a pic with the Rumors singer herself. The best Halloween costume is when you turn completely unrecognisable.

5. Halsey as the Corpse Bride

Halsey turned herself into the title character from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride on Halloween 2020 and perfectly re-created Emily's blue skin with the help of a lot of makeup.

6. Heidi Klum as a gory alien

Another of Heidi Klum's genius creations leaves you to wonder: what is she actually dressed as? It is seriously creepy.

7. Demi Lovato as Marie Antoinette

What a great family costume idea! Wholesome fun for the Timberlake-Biel clan.

12. Lizzo as a Fly

Dressing up as a fly that flew onto Vice President Pence's head during the 2020 debate? Sounds like Lizzo. The singer killed it.

13. Cardi B as Posion Ivy

In true Cardi fashion, this costume in as sexy and 'toxic' as it can be.

Retro, edgy, and endlessly romantic, this look won't require much effort. Singing skills are welcome.

19. Cynthia Erivo as an Avatar
