Janelle Monáe didn’t need any inspiration for this year’s look. She created her own original character, “Phish Boy,” and her costume blew the competition out of the water with her hyperrealistic wandering bug eyes and scaly fish skin.

Paris Hilton as Britney Spears

Hilton dressed up as Britney Spears and recreated her “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards this year, proving that the two have more alike than just being blonde, early-aughts cultural icons.

Paris Hilton as The Addams Family

This year, Hilton roped her family into her costume extravaganza, dressing as the Addams Family. Hilton went as Morticia, her husband Carter Reum as Gomez, daughter London as Wednesday and son Phoenix as Pugsley.

Kim Kardashian as North West

While the saying usually goes like mother, like daughter, for Kim Kardashian, it’s the other way around. This year, Kardashian dressed as her 13-year-old, North West, whose signature punk-star look made Kardashian’s reference instantly recognizable.

Keke Palmer as Janet Jackson

Few celebrities have left as indelible a mark on spooky season as Michael Jackson, and this year, Palmer and her three-year-old son paid tribute to the legendary siblings Michael and Janet in their iconic black-and-white “Scream” music video.

Keke Palmer as Frankenstein

For Palmer, the thrills didn’t stop after dressing up as the Jacksons. She also dressed up as her version of “Keke Frankenstein,” writing on social media that “Some Girls Are Born. Others Are Made. A Little Electricity, A Little Experimentation, And A Whole Lot Of Keke. The Monster Has Awakened. Keke Frankenstein. Out Now. Video Coming Soon.”

Owen Thiele and Benito Skinner as PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson

The “Adults” and “Overcompensating” stars finally came together to bring fans the collaboration we’ve been waiting for. Sort of. Replicating another iconic collaboration that went down this year, Thiele and Skinner, in full drag, dressed as PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson, respectively, in the sensational “Stateside” music video.

Chloe Bailey as Meg Griffin

Silver knee-high boots, a jean miniskirt, a pink bra top and a matching wool cap might not seem like much of a costume, unless you’re Chloe Bailey and you designate yourself a”Hot Meg Griffin” from “Family Guy” for Halloween.
