Long gone are the days where Halloween was just one fun night to dress up and get spooky. These days it seems like people have to come up with five different costumes to look picture perfect at every party of “Halloweek”. While this is stressful for the average girl on a college budget, Halloween is the perfect time for celebrities to show off their creativity and upstage the previous year’s costume.
This year, Halloween costumes were all about pop culture. From fellow celebrities and TV show icons to clever and creative puns, it seems like most celebrities strayed away from scary, gory and political to appreciate yesterday and today’s cultures. Here are some of the best celebrity costumes.
