8 funniest Halloween 2025 celebrity costumes
Here are eight of the funniest and most talked-about celebrity costumes of Halloween 2025.
1. Paris Hilton as Britney Spears
Paris Hilton honored her longtime friend and fellow celebrity Britney Spears by donning the iconic red latex jumpsuit from the song Oops!... I Did It Again. The Halloween 2025 costume was nearly the same as that of Britney but with the addition of a sleek ponytail and silver headset. Paris tilted towards the 2000s nostalgia.
The accuracy and the confidence of her look were unique. The red latex fit was bright and glossy, and her long straight hair completed the look. She also maintained a low-key makeup look, but concentrated on a shiny lip and a clear, defined eyeliner, recreating the early-2000s Britney fashion.
2. Janelle Monáe as Beetlejuice and The Cat in the Hat
Janelle Monáe demonstrated her artistic nature by adopting two characters in a crossover in Halloween 2025. First was her appearance as Beetlejuice in the trademark black-and-white striped costume, white makeup on her face and unkempt hair that is striped with green. She would later become The Cat in the Hat with the striped hat and bowtie.
Her costume and make-up were elaborate. The Beetlejuice appearance consisted of a pale foundation and dark eyes and the Cat in the Hat consisted of whiskers and a red nose on face paint. The transitions between costumes were very fluid and revealed the playful nature of Janelle.
3. Bowen Yang as Tingle from The Legend of Zelda
Comedian Bowen Yang brought video game humor to Halloween 2025 by dressing up as Tingle, the quirky character from The Legend of Zelda. He wore a green bodysuit, a pointed hat, and a small red backpack to complete the look. The costume captured the weirdness and fun of the character.
His attention to detail made the look stand out. Bowen added a drawn-on mustache, matching Tingle’s face from the game. The outfit was tight-fitting and bright green, and his expression sealed the comic effect. It was simple, funny, and instantly recognizable to fans.
4. Keke Palmer as Honey Daniels
Keke Palmer dressed as Honey Daniels, the lead character from the 2003 dance film Honey. She used camouflage pants, an orange bralette, and a cropped jacket, just like Jessica Alba in the film. The appearance was a definite reference to dance culture in the early 2000s.
Keke wore her hair in loose waves, and completed the look with glossy lips with warm tones. She took on dance positions and this gave her appearance motion and character. It was a bold costume that fit into her type.
5. Quenlin Blackwell as the “Headphone Lady” Meme
Quenlin Blackwell took inspiration from viral internet culture for Halloween 2025. She dressed as the “Headphone Lady” meme that went viral earlier this year, where a woman wearing headphones and crying became a symbol of online chaos. Quenlin recreated it with perfect accuracy.
She wore large over-ear headphones, smudged makeup to mimic crying, and had paper butterflies taped around her. The costume was simple but funny because it turned a viral image into a real-life moment. Her expression matched the meme, making it instantly recognizable to anyone online.
6. Ed Sheeran as Pennywise the Clown
Ed Sheeran surprised fans by dressing as Pennywise, the clown from Stephen King’s It, for Halloween 2025. He sported the gray ruffled outfit, red balloon, and white makeup, with sharp red lines on his face. The costume was more comic than frightening considering his usually soft image.
The funny contrast was supplied by his bright orange wig and his exaggerated smiling. The clothes were full of puffed sleeves and gloves, and the disheveled make-up made it look homemade.
7. Niecy Nash-Betts and Jessica Betts as Claressa Shields and Papoose
Niecy Nash-Betts and her spouse, Jessica Betts, appeared as boxer Claressa Shields and rapper Papoose. They also changed their appearance later to emulate Kendrick Lamar and Serena Williams by preserving the theme of power couples. They were humorously and culturally conscious in terms of costume choices.
Niecy was dressed up in boxing equipment, gloves and a robe, and Jessica was sporting a traditional hip-hop suit with chains and a hat. Their later appearance consisted of a tennis outfit and a fashionable jacket-and-jeans set. Every element of the costumes was synchronized.
8. Lizzo as a Chili's Cheese Stick
Lizzo took an idea that was food-related when she masqueraded as Chili's mozzarella cheese stick. The garment was pale yellow with cheesy bits and resembled a snack of giant size.
She had ash blonde waves in her hair and warm-colored makeup to suit the cheesy outfit. Lizzo smiled in the photos, obviously enjoying the attention. The costume was one of the most discussed pieces of this Halloween because it was funny and original.
