Showing off a Halloween costume once meant dressing up and actually having to go somewhere to be seen. Now, in the age of social media, the big reveal can happen in a digital space. That means that it’s easier than ever for the rich and famous to go all out with one or more looks. Appropriately, this year’s best celebrity Halloween costumes have raised an already-high bar. They’re well-thought-out, often elaborate, and simply impressive — whether or not they ever made it out of the house.

Some of the stars who couldn’t stop at just one costume include Mindy Kaling and Ciara, both of whom honored some of their inspirations. For Kaling, that meant dressing up as several female comedy legends (much to their delight, based on the Instagram comments). For Ciara, it was paying homage to every member of TLC and the late Selena Quintanilla.

Pop culture provided a lot of inspiration, as it often does. Hailey Bieber recreated some of Britney Spears’ most iconic moments, Harry Styles referenced The Wizard of Oz, and Blackpink’s Lisa got her idea from Squid Game. There were also multiple Addams family members, a Baby Yoda, Scooby-Doo characters, and more. Ahead, the best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2021 so far.
