The Pandemic Didn't Stop Celebs From Dressing Up In Next-Level Halloween Costumes

"Halloween spirit is never canceled."

In an atypical year, Oct. 31 still brought thrills. The best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2020 were as amazing ever, with celebrities like Lizzo, Chrissy Teigen, Ciara, and the Kardashian-Jenner family keeping the bar high. As Camila Cabello tweeted, “Halloween spirit is never canceled.”

With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic looming over Halloween, people found ways to adapt. The masks on display weren’t all for show — some were purely for protection. Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade masked up as they took their family s’more costume to the street. Plus, other celebs had to figure out how to get ready without their usual help. Demi Lovato was “high key proud” after putting together her intense vampire look without “access to a full glam squad.”

Two standouts from this year are Lizzo and Tabria Majors. Lizzo had not one but two creative costumes: First, she was “Flyyyyy AF” as the fly from VP Mike Pence’s head in the vice presidential debate, and then she came up with a clever “WAP” outfit. Majors’ costume wasn’t as unique — she dressed as Beyoncé — but her execution really set her apart when she recreated some of the music icon’s best moments.
