Halloween weekend is winding to a close. With October officially behind us, for many it’s time to put away the spooky decorations and start looking ahead to the last weeks of 2020. For some that means already starting to look forward to Christmas — the holiday was quite literally the Number One trend on Twitter at one point on November 1st. But before we all dig into the candy and start bracing ourselves for the long wait until spooky season next year, we’re taking a moment to pick some of our favorite Halloween costumes from celebrities in 2020.
Admittedly, Halloween looked a little different this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic with many big celebrations cancelled, but that didn’t stop people from getting creative with some truly remarkable costumes. All weekend long, celebrities have been sharing their Halloween best with a wide array of costumes that take inspiration from Marvel, DC, anime, gaming, horror, and so much more.
