They can’t all be boo-tiful. There are plenty of killer celebrity Halloween costumes (literally, in the case of Lil Nas X) but there are just as many stinkers.
We didn’t even bother including all the Squid Game get-ups (don’t say we didn’t warn you) and various other repeats that inevitably show up every year because, boy, there sure are a lot of Wednesday Addams, astronauts, and inflatable characters.
At that point, why even bother with a costume! Might as well pull an R-Patz and just skip Halloween all together.
Like with the Met Gala, nothing personal. But we know these celebs can do better.
Kid Cudi as disco zombie (?)
Much love to Cudi (nail game fire, tbh) but there’s either too little or too much happening here.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker as Nancy Spungen and Sid Vicious

The Sex Pistols reference makes sense given that Barker plays in the world’s most famous punk band but let’s not forget that Sid killed Nancy.
Not the best couple’s outfit choice — Kourtney and Travis’ True Romance looks make for much more palatable edgy romance costumes.
Bebe Rexha as Anna Nicole Smith

Nothing inherently wrong with celeb-inspired costumes but hard to see this as anything other than tacky, down to the staged photo with hired actor.
Philipp Plein as ????

No idea what’s happening here.
Plein’s IG caption — “THRILLER” — suggests Michael Jackson inspiration, which is lazy at best (are Plein and partner supposed to be “Thriller” video zombies???) and tasteless at worst. Not a pretty good summation of Plein’s brand, actually.
Miranda Kerr as a flight attendant

This one isn’t terribly offensive or remarkably bad, just a boring excuse to wear Louis Vuitton and call it a costume.
Justin Bieber as a bear

Speaking of lazy, how about a onesie? Bieber could’ve gotten away with it if he hadn’t also insisted on draping his many bejeweled chains over the giant bear suit. Send this one into hibernation.
Bonus: Justin Bieber with Kanye West and Marilyn Manson as evangelical butchers
https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtNEE2t2SI/
The scariest thing about this Halloween look may be the rebranding of Manson, an accused abuser, as martyr.
Kim Kardashian as Pete Davidson’s girlfriend

Love yourself, Kim.
