2014’s Most Creative Celeb Halloween Costumes Because Katy Perry’s Cheetos Outfit Is Too Good to Miss — PHOTOS
Sure, it's fun to scroll through Facebook after Halloween to see what your friends dressed up as. But know what's way better? Checking out celebrity costumes! Thanks to Instagram, it's like we can pretend we were at Halloween parties with them. OK, maybe it's not the same... But it's still cool that we can admire their outfits from afar.
Whether Colton Haynes' Fiona from Shrek costume, or Katy Perry's Cheetos outfit, it's hard to pick a favorite. They're all just too great! Here's a round-up of this year's most creative celebrity ensembles.
And be sure to check back because we'll keep updating as the costumes come in!

Lucy Hale
This Pretty Little Liars actress nailed her Twitter bird costume. It’s hashtag perfect. Plus, she made it look way cooler than that little cartoon bird that’s Twitter’s actual logo. Maybe they should consider switching it to this picture instead.

Colton Haynes
With monstrous green skin, the Arrow actor looked nothing like himself this Halloween. His Fiona from Shrek outfit was pretty impressive and hilarious! (For a reminder of what he normally looks like, here’s a helpful photo gallery.)

Chris Colfer
Admittedly, I didn’t know what he was at first. But then I read the caption and realized the Glee star was supposed to be Grumpy Cat. Purrrrfection!

Carmen Electra
Is that Katy Perry? Oh no, it’s just Carmen Electra channeling her inner California Girl. Cupcakes and all.

Paris Hilton
OK, so maybe “creative” isn’t the right adjective for Paris’s outfit, since it’s definitely been done before. But it’s still a really good Minnie Mouse costume. That dress is fantastic!

Liv Tyler
OK, I think Liv Tyler wins Halloween. She dressed up as a bun in the oven… because she has a bun in her oven. So perfectly punny!

Katy Perry
Katy Perry captioned this photo, ”IDFWU *drops mic*” ‘Nuff said.

Kate Hudson
Kate’s skeleton makeup is flawless. Who knew you could have an awesome costume just by painting your face?

Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne dressed up as Magenta from Rocky Horror Picture Show. She looks just like her!

Taylor Swift
“Cause, darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a PEGACORN,” Swift captioned this photo. A Pegasus/unicorn hybrid combined with her song lyrics? Taylor’s outfit is the best! Do you think she read this Bustle post about how to dress up like songs from 1989 or…?

The 'TODAY' Show Hosts
The TODAY show hosts used Saturday Night Live’s closet to their advantage (yep, those are the real costumes) for an epic tribute. The TODAY show Twitter account captioned the pic,
“We’re not worthy! Thanks @nbcsnl for letting us raid your closet! Here’s to 40 more seasons! #snlTODAY #SNL40”

Ryan Seacrest
Ryan Seacrest chose a mad scientist costume. He’s barely recognizable, isn’t he?

Kelly Ripa
Kelly Ripa is… I’m not really sure, but it’s terrifying. And hey, choosing a scary costume over a sexy or pop culture-related one actually is creative for a celeb.

Tallulah Willis
Tallulah Wilis dressed as Slim Shady but that wasn’t her only costume…

Courteney Cox & Johnny McDaid

Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson and her crew went all out to dress as a motorcycle gang slash possible Sons of Anarchy reference. She did caption her Instagram post, “Mother of Anarchy is taking her daughters to a little party…. #HappyHalloween @hudsonjeans_pk #hudsons #partytime,” after all.

Rachel Zoe & Rodger Berman
Rachel Zoe and her husband dressed up as the evil queen and huntsman from Snow White. I give them a C for creativity, but an A for effort.

Aly & AJ Michalka
Aly and AJ dressed up as the lead characters from Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion. Pretty spot on, huh?

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran dressed as Austin Powers and captioned a Instagram of himself in costume with the only acceptable phrase he could use: “Yeah baby.”

Kim Kardashian #1
Kim Kardashian dressed as this life-like skeleton. It’s scary yet super cool. But of course, it wasn’t her only look of the day…

Kim Kardashian #2
Kim K. and her pal Joyce Bonelli dressed up as fashion’s elite: Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington. Bonelli’s kid was Karl Lagerfeld, while North was Andre Leon Talley. Looks like Kim’s had a change of heart since she snubbed Wintour in her iPhone game!

Kendall Jenner & Cara Delevingne
Model pals Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne went as the mustached video game brothers —Mario and Luigi. It’s a pretty awesome costume and now I want to go play Mario Party ASAP.

Kate Moss
Speaking of Cara Delevingne, another model dressed up as her for Halloween! Kate Moss posed as Cara and nailed it. Even Cara posted, ”Funniest thing I have ever seen” with the hashtag #KateDelevingne. Brilliant!

Kylie Jenner
Wow, Kylie really took Halloween seriously this year! She was the Bride of Chucky and a friend dressed up as her terrifying doll husband. I can’t figure out who she’s with, solely because the costume is too scary to stare at for a long period of time.

Kaley Cuoco & Ryan Sweeting
Is this the best costume ever or what? Kaley and her husband dressed as everybody’s (least) favorite on-again/off-again couple. Yup, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber! The caption says, “The Biebs and Selena never disappoint”

Demi Lovato, JLo, & Iggy Azalea
Three great costumes in one photo! Demi Lovato is Lucille Ball, JLo is a devil, and Iggy is one of the “sisters” from White Chicks.

Iggy Azalea
Remember when Snoop Dogg dissed Iggy by saying she looked like one of the Wayans brothers in White Chicks? Looks like she got the last laugh by turning that into her Halloween costume. By having a sense of humor and spot-on costume, guess who wins this feud? I-G-G-Y.

Ariana Grande
Placing Ari’s vampire teeth in the “Most Creative” category may seem like a bit of a stretch, but I’m just glad she didn’t just dress as a cat. So this automatically makes it a good costume!

Miley Cyrus
If I’m not mistaken, Miley dressed up as her godmother Dolly Parton. Oh, and her friend’s Clueless outfit is perfect.

Sarah Hyland
The Modern Family actress and her friend Katie dressed up as Little Orphan Annie and Miss Hannigan. The best part? She says in the caption that the costumes only took 10 minutes to make. DIY all the way!
