The best Halloween costumes are pop culture-inspired costumes. Celebrities are so outlandish, it isn’t hard to find a slew of fashion faux pas that double as spooky get-ups perfect for all your post-pandemic parties on Oct. 31.
Take, for example, Kim Kardashian’s bizarre 2021 Met Gala outfit. It’s already been turned into an official Halloween costume by the brand Yandy. Dubbed the “Mystery Gala Guest,” the ensemble features “a semi-sheer black tube dress, a sheer mesh cape, a breathable black facial hood, opaque tights, and long satin gloves,” according to the product page.
“Dark, dramatic, and ever so obscure, flaunt your couture-kissed curves like an A-list celeb in this exclusive Mystery Gala Guest costume,” the company urges costume seekers.
While Kardashian’s outfit is the most obvious choice for a bold and timely Halloween fashion statement, hers isn’t the only one. We’ve rounded up 15 ridiculous celebrity 2021 outfits that hilariously double as perfect post-pandemic Halloween costumes. Check ’em out, then start planning your Halloween wardrobe!
