Heidi Klum
“My favorite costume was in 2013 when I dressed up as a 90-year-old version of myself. I was turning 40 that year and everyone kept asking me how it felt to be getting older and I didn’t really feel any different. So I thought, why not show them what old really looks like! I went all out with these amazing prosthetics to really look like an old woman, it took me 10 hours to get ready! I had gray contacts to make my eyes look washed out, I had fake yellowed teeth, brittle nails, a custom white haired wig and an amazing vintage Chanel suit that I found online.”
Billie Lourd
“I feel like I did a real good skeleton when I was like eight years old and slicked my hair back black and did this crazy face paint thing, but I haven’t been that committed to Halloween since I was, like, 10. It’s the saddest thing ever. I need some inspo. Do you have any inspo?”
Martha Stewart
“Last year I was Richard Prince’s bloody nurse. I won first prize at Allison Sarofim’s Halloween party.”
Christian Siriano
“My husband and I are normally some type of couple that complements one another during Halloween and this year we are going as a crystallized King and Queen. In the past, we have been tons of Disney characters like Ariel and prince Eric, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, and Lumiere and Babette. But I think the best was our Picasso paintings costumes.”
Jill Kargman
“We have t-shirts that say ‘this is my f-king Halloween costume’ so that’s our default.”
Zosia Mamet
“I’m not a huge Halloween person – maybe it’s because I spent my childhood in LA where you spent Halloween trying to avoid getting egged and having your car keyed, that I don’t think of it very fondly. I will say, feel free to print this, there is a real void for big dog Halloween costumes. [My dog Moose] is a lab-hound mit. When we got married I was looking for a dress for her and I had a really hard time.”
Law Roach
“Once I was the Beatles – like all of them. I had an early Beatles look, like the mushroom and the skinny suit and skinny tie. I didn’t know exactly which one I wanted to be, so I wanted to be all of them.”
Jordyn Woods
“I suck at Halloween. Every year, I’m like, ‘This year, I’m planning a month in advance.’ And then the time comes. Hopefully this year’s the best, but I’m not too sure. I haven’t even tried my costume on.”
