While some, like [Halloween legend Heidi Klum](https://time.com/5432447/heidi-klum-2018-halloween-costume/), have already gotten into the spirit with spooky designer duds ahead of her annual Halloween bash where she’ll famously debut yet another over-the-top costume, plenty of other celebs have already brought their A game to Halloween festivities. Look no further than new mama Gabrielle Union, who referenced one of her most beloved roles by dressing up as [_Bring It On_](https://time.com/5465122/thank-u-next-video-references/) cheerleader Isis in a matching costume with baby Kaavia James. Meanwhile, [Jessica Biel](https://time.com/5712144/jessica-biel-justin-timberlake-halloween-costume/) and Justin Timberlake went meta while making a case for the non-cheesy couples costume with Biel dressing as Timberlake at the height of his boy band fame in \*NSYNC, while Timberlake came attired as her microphone. From the ghoulish to the glamorous, here’s a look back at the [best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2019](https://time.com/5712162/demi-lovato-halloween-costume-2019/). ## Best Mommy and Me costume: Gabrielle Union and Kaavia James Gabrielle Union and her mini-me, baby daughter Kaavia James, dressed up as Union’s beloved _Bring It On_ cheerleader, Isis. ## Best Casual Halloween Flex: Heidi Klum While [Heidi’s](https://time.com/5669209/heidi-klum-halloween-costume-2019/) probably best known for her labor-intensive [over-the-top costumes and fabulous Halloween parties](https://time.com/5413136/heidi-klum-halloween-party-celebrity-costumes-2018/), she showed that she’s great at being spooky in the downtime too – just look at her casual Moschino and Prada Halloween duds. ## Best Couples Costume: Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake While couples costumes can easily veer into cheesy territory, [Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake](https://time.com/5712144/jessica-biel-justin-timberlake-halloween-costume/) brought the laughs when she dressed up as him during his boy band\*NSYNC hey day, while he dressed up as her microphone. ## Most Meta Moment: Stormi Webster Kylie Jenner’s baby [Stormi Webster](https://time.com/5712084/stormi-halloween-costume/), was dressed as her mother at this year’s [Met Gala](https://time.com/5581638/best-dressed-met-gala-2019/) in a tiny replica of Jenner’s resplendent feathered Versace gown. ## Best Theme Interpretation: Tracee Ellis Ross At Gabrielle Union’s very excellent Halloween birthday party, which was “California Love” themed, Ellis didn’t shy away from committing to a costume, going as the legendary DJ Quik, complete with drawn-on facial hair. The costume was so good, it earned a co-sign from the ultimate West Coast icon, the Doggfather himself, Snoop Dogg. ## **When Halloween imitates life: Ashley Graham** Ashley Graham turned up the heat as animation’s most curvaceous bombshell, Jessica Rabbit. ## Most Likely to Turn Halloween into Beauty Con: Demi Lovato From a stunning Pennywise to a powdered Marie Antoinette, [Demi Lovato](https://time.com/5712162/demi-lovato-halloween-costume-2019/) served face on Halloween. ## Icons as Icons: Lisa Rinna It takes a tour de force to be able to embody the inimitable Jennifer Lopez, but RHOBH doyenne Lisa Rinna was up to the challenge. ## Get You a Girl Who Can Do Both: Halsey Halsey proved that she could do both goth and glam well this Halloween, channeling Marilyn Manson and Cher in one weekend. ## Best Musical Impression: Ciara and Russell Wilson Ciara and Russell Wilson paid homage to their fellow power couple Bey and Jay Z by recreating their looks from the “[APESH\*T” video](https://time.com/5315275/art-references-meaning-beyonce-jay-z-apeshit-louvre-music-video/).
