Every year, celebrity Halloween costumes turn the internet into a fashion and creativity contest, and 2025 has been no different.
From nostalgic movie characters to online memes, Hollywood’s biggest names have once again proven that Halloween is more than a night of costumes, it’s a pop culture celebration.
Halloween, which began centuries ago as an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain, marked the end of the harvest season and the start of winter.
Over time, the tradition evolved, mixing with modern pop culture. For celebrities, it has become a chance to showcase both style and personality, with professional stylists and costume designers turning simple dress-up into full-blown performance art.

From Johannesburg to New York, stars shared photos of their costumes, each one generating millions of likes and comments within hours.
