This year, it was clear that the stars came dressed to impress for fall’s biggest night out — and many of them did it while channeling other famous faces. Gabrielle Union sported plaid and a blonde wig as Gwen Stefani during her No Doubt days, Rita Ora dressed up as Post Malone, down to his trademark face tatts, and Harry Styles really went all out in a bedazzled Gucci ensemble to transform into glam rock icon Elton John. From spooky and scary to glamorous and over-the-top, see the best and most outrageous celebrity Halloween costumes of 2018 so far, below. Gabrielle Union was “just a girl” as ska queen Gwen Stefani. Harry Styles’ Elton John was a full-look Gucci costume. Kendall Jenner went full fembot for the Casamigos Halloween party. John Legend was a delightful Prince Charming to daughter Luna’s princess. Rita Ora really embodied the spirit of Post Malone. Only Zoe Kravitz could make being undead look this cool. Kaia Gerber showed off her wild side with her Joan Jett costume. Nicky Hilton kept it in the family when she channeled her sister Paris during the early-aughts. Teen heartthrob Noah Centineo flexed as Gaston. Cindy Crawford was the world’s most glamorous flight attendant.
