Celebrities came out in force to celebrate Halloween, attending all sorts of ghoulish parties. One that caught the attention of many was Jonathan Ross’ annual bash. Having missed two years because of lockdown restrictions, Ross went all out for his 2022 Halloween Party. Dressed as the horrifying Babadook from the Australian supernatural horror film, he was joined by wife Jane Goldman, who transformed herself into the equally terrifying Pennywise the Clown from the It franchise.

There were plenty of frights from the star-studded guest list, including an eerie appearance from a nearly unrecognisable Alan Carr, Paloma Faith and David Ames, who arrived as the twins from The Shining. “Sisters, are doing it for themselves…” Ames tweeted, accompanied by an even scarier (and hilarious) close-up shot of their costumes. Daisy May Cooper gave every Frozen fan nightmares with her undead version of Anna, who also happened to be holding the head of Olaf.

Mel C and Rita Ora turned up the glam with their costumes, taking on two of cinema’s most iconic characters. Sporty Spice embraced her inner Scary Spice as the darkly glamorous Morticia Addams. Meanwhile, Ora dressed as the mystifying socialite Lisle Von Rhuman from Death Becomes Her, initially portrayed by Isabella Rossellini. Before attending the party, she produced a fantastic recreation of the character, using her Próspero Tequila brand as a stand-in for Lisle’s potion.

Tom Allen and Alfie Garston decided to up the scare factor as a couple of #PumpkinPatchBabes accompanied by autumnal confetti, while Munya Chawawa arrived as the eggplant emoji.

Below, take a peek at the 10 best costumes, and maybe you’ll find some inspiration for next year’s celebrations.
