15 Wild Celebrity Red Carpet Looks That Prove You'll Definitely Be Able To Pull Off That Halloween Costume Year-Round
There are celebrity red carpet looks which read as elegant, and then there are looks that ooze with drama. The latter category of celebrity red carpet style is ideal for Halloween inspiration — and proof that your costume can have fresh life after the Oct 31 celebrations are over. Read on for 15 celebrity red carpet looks which would be just as suitable for Halloween as they would a Christmas party.
A Grecian Goddess-Inspired Gisele
If this beautifully draped gown doesn’t smack of Grecian Goddess glamour, I don’t know what does.
An Über-Feminine Lena Duham
This cross between a preppy polo and a mille feuille skirt to make Carry Bradshaw weep, this dress is Halloween-ready.
A Dress That Could Be Manufactured With Rudimentary Items
From a white bed sheet tied with masking tape to paper towels and ribbon, there has been no dearth of homemade renditions of this Dior gown.
A Transparent Lace Mermaid Dress
Beyonce’s peekabo lace dress is simply begging to be reinterpreted as a Halloween costume — if you dare to bare a bit of skin, that is.
A Piano-Note Gown
Katy Perry’s piano note-embossed gown is a veritable cornucopia of costume inspiration, from its gossamer construction to the musical score across its skirt.
A Goth-Inpsired Lace Dress and Uninhibited Cosmetics
Between the Elphaba-emerald lipstick, the draped cross necklaces, and the lace slip Rihanna jauntily sports, this ensemble needs to be reincarnated as a Halloween costume.
Old Hollywood Glamour
Cara Delevingne’s streamlined, sultry lace gown and diamonds are sheer Hollywood Golden Age glamour, for those who prefer a more fashion-forward costume.
A Barely-There Bustier And Skirt
This modernist gown looks more like a costume off the set of Tron than a red carpet ensemble, and therein lies its perfection for Halloween revelry.
A Blazer And Hotpants
Androgyny takes a couture turn in Kristen Stewart’s Chanel jacket and hot pants. This borrowed-from-the-boys look has the potential to become a Halloween costume you wear even after the holiday.
A Couture Little Red Riding Hood
Nicki Minaj nailed the fairytale trend in this ultra-sultry satin rendition of Red Riding Hood’s cape.
A Suited Up Ensemble
Madonna’s Grammys suit achieved legendary status from its jaunty chapeau to its perfectly tailored wide-leg trousers.
A Bodysuit And Leather Jacket
Kesha demonstrates that when it comes to dressing up, sometimes less is more. Get back to basics with a leather jacket, a bodysuit, and heels for a night you’ll hopefully remember.
An Electrified Ensemble
If you wish to appear as though you’ve been struck by a very fashionable bolt of lightning this Halloween, look no further than Lady Gaga’s lace-embellished getup, complete with a prickly hat.
A Punk-Gone-Couture Getup
Helena Bonham-Carter’s plaid ensemble, complete with layered necklaces and a tiny top hat, is British-inspired punk in the best possible way.
A Printed Onesie
Nobody rocks a onesie like Taylor Swift, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try… especially when said romper is sky-blue and heavily patterned.
