International celebrities go all out on nostalgia, nods to pop culture with Halloween costumes

Celebrities frequently produce some of the best Halloween costumes and this year’s entries did not disappoint as they have gone full out this spooky season.

From channeling fictional characters to bringing back distinct memories, here’s a roundup of celebrities who dressed up for Halloween.

Kelly Clarkson

In the Halloween episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” singer Kelly Clarkson transformed into Beetlejuice, flaunting her wild hair, the filthy black-and-white striped costume, and the pale skin that Michael Keaton wore in the movies.

Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monáe brought E.T. back home paying homage to Steven Spielberg’s 1982 blockbuster E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial dressing up as the iconic character.

Heidi Klum

Queen of Halloween Heidi Klum also recreated E.T. for her costume this year. Similar to Monáe, who is known for her extravagant appearance, the model debuted her outfit during her 23rd annual party in New York wherein she wore an E.T. costume disguised in a blonde wig and a hat while her husband Tom Kaulitz wore a more conventional E.T. costume.

Ed Sheeran

Dressing up like a popular meme of himself, singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran had a little extra fun with his Halloween costume. As he displayed the image on his phone, he captioned the picture of himself dressed as a monkey and wrote, “Haters will say it’s AI.”

Mike Flanagan and Bryan Fuller

Even though Mike Flanagan and Bryan Fuller are the maestros of horror, they wanted to prove this year that “there’s no crying in baseball.” They dressed like Jimmy and Dottie from the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own”, channeling Tom Hanks and Geena Davis.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton had gone all out this year as she not only had one but two costumes to celebrate Halloween. The business mogul posted a series of images on Instagram dressed as Uma Thurman’s character from “Pulp Fiction”, along with the caption, “Serving Mia Wallace realness.” Hilton also recreated the poster of the film.
