The Halloween season is coming to an end, which means it’s time to take a look at what the celebrities chose to wear this Halloween season. We’ve seen some incredible celebrity Halloween costumes over the years, whether it’s Gen Z-favorite stars incorporating niche childhood nostalgia or a longtime A-lister getting weird with it (cough, Heidi Klum). But this year, there’s a noticeable trend among the who’s who of Hollywood — in case you didn’t get the memo, apparently Halloween 2026 is all about celebs dressing as each other.
For those of you who have been busy with your own Halloween festivities or who aren’t chronically online like I am, let me fill you in: From Hollywood icons like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian to the most buzzy up-and-coming stars like Owen Thiele and Benito Skinner, so many celebs seem to be dressing up as other celebs for Halloween 2026. Some of the costumes are tributes to iconic looks, while others seem to be inside jokes more than anything else. Regardless, it’s extremely entertaining to see what celebs other celebs are excited to dress like, and how they execute their look.
You’re bound to see one of your favorite celebrities in the list below, whether they’re the one dressing up or serving as the inspo for another A-lister’s vision.
- Kim Kardashian as North West

No one knows you like your mom does, and Kim K made that extremely clear when she dressed up as North West — and absolutely nailed the look.
- Paris Hilton as Brittney Spears
-
Paris Hilton has never missed a chance to go all out for Halloween, and the python around her neck proved she wasn’t about to slack off this year.

Owen Thiele and Benny Drama went full glam for this look — and honestly, why is it so accurate?!
- Keke Palmer and Son Leo as Janet and Michael Jackson

I’ve been waiting to see a duo cover the famous “Scream” music video, but I didn’t expect it to be this cute of a duo. And Palmer even pulled out some of the choreography for this cover of the music video — what isn’t she good at?!
- North West as Natalie Nunn
-
Knowing who North West’s family is, it really shouldn’t be a surprise that she’s so funny. If you watch Baddies, this look will catch your attention right away.
- Natalie Nunn as North West

Natalie Nunn really said “Uno reverse” in this friendly response to North’s look of her. I know what I said about Kim K’s look, but this is definitely a close second and still so on point.
