Celebrities! They’re just like us… provided you have millions of dollars to your name, worldwide adulation, and enough cultural capital to dominate approximately 1,000,000 social media threads a week. That being said, sometimes their incredible wealth and jockeying for Instagrammable attention leads to some amazing Halloween costumes.
When you’ve got a legion of personal assistants to trawl through the nation’s Goodwills to find that perfect Spongebob tie, you probably don’t have to worry about under-delivering. Even so, there are a few celebrities who consistently stand out from the pack, year after year, such as:
Beyoncé and Jay Z
The queen B might not have a literal bee in her Halloween arsenal, but Beyoncé doesn’t slouch when it comes to her costumes over the years. Jay’s duds aren’t half bad either… these two are couples costume royalty!
