Celebrities showcase viral Halloween costumes for 2026

The 2026 Halloween season featured several high-profile celebrity costumes that gained significant traction on social media. Notable highlights included Janelle Monáe, who hosted an exclusive Wondaween: Creature Camp event, and Heidi Klum, who appeared in a costume designed as a life-sized severed hand.

Other viral looks included Keke Palmer and her son Leodis, who dressed as Michael and Janet Jackson from the classic “Scream” music video, and Gabourey Sidibe, who trended for dressing as Drake in a pumpkin-themed outfit. Coco Jones also drew attention for her portrayal of Mary J. Blige.

While many costumes were celebrated for creativity, some figures faced criticism. Martha Stewart reportedly faced backlash for a costume portraying an unhoused individual, which she stated was intended to raise awareness for the homelessness crisis.
