Halloween season is upon us, and that means one thing: it’s time to wear the “spooky” costume that’ll get you the most likes on Instagram.
And celebs are no different from us; only sometimes they have the means to take their costumes above and beyond what will usually suffice for the standard Halloween piss-up. Here’s a round up of all the best celeb costumes from this year:
Josh Homme and Matt Helders
Josh Homme went all out as The Joy of Painting’s late host Bob Ross, whereas Arctic Monkey’s drummer dressed as Queen’s Brian May:
Romy Croft
The xx’s Romy got in the spirit of things as a “catastrophe cowgirl”.
Lady Gaga
In her own words, Gaga kept it “classic” this year, as a sheet ghost.
