In normal circumstances, this year's Halloween celebrations would have been bigger than ever, especially with it taking place on a Saturday! Unfortunately, the pandemic means it was somewhat dialled back, with social distancing and global lockdowns putting a dampener on proceedings.
However, that didn't stop many people celebrating from home, and a tonne of celebrities decided to "suit up" in costumes inspired by the world of comic books and beyond.
Everyone from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to Batwoman star Javicia Leslie and social media celebs like Bella Thorne and Kylie Jenner got in on the action, and we've now rounded up some of our favourites. It goes without saying that this lot had a much bigger Halloween budget than the rest of us, and that's evident from some movie-quality costumes and special effects.
To take a look through these costumes, all you guys need to do is click the "Next" button below!
10. Natalie Eva Marie As Venom
Natalie Eva Marie is a former WWE Superstar who has since broken into acting and modelling.
While rumours persist that she's planning some sort of in-ring return, it appears Natalie is a big comic book fan if her Venom body art is any indication. Clearly inspired by the 2018 movie, this is an eye-catching take on the symbiote we wouldn't say no to seeing brought to the big screen.
She-Venom did have a role in Venom, of course, but the hope is that the character will get the chance to play a larger role in the SPUMC with the upcoming Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
9. Cardi B As Scarlet Witch
Cardi B is an American rapper, songwriter, and actress who recently made headlines for "WAP" (we're not explaining it to you, so assuming you're of an appropriate age, go Google it).
She has the most Hot 100 number-one singles and is the only female rap artist to achieve chart-topping singles in two decades, but we're guessing most of you will be more interested in her eye-catching take on the Scarlet Witch. Looking like she's just stepped out of the comics, this costume definitely impresses.
Elizabeth Olsen is set to don something similar - for Halloween, ironically - in Disney+'s WandaVision.
8. Kylie Jenner (And Friends) As The Power Rangers
We're not entirely sure what Kylie Jenner does beyond having ties to the Kardashian family, but the social media and reality TV star suited up alongside her friends and possible boyfriend Carter Gregory as the Power Rangers this weekend. For Mighty Morphin fans, this is bound to be appreciated.
A Power Rangers reboot is, of course, in the works, but how cool would a female-led version be?
This photo definitely gives us an idea of what that could look like, and spandex still looks way better than the overly busy CGI outfits which were highlighted in the last Power Rangers movie.
7. Kathryn Newton As Murder Barbie
Kathryn Newton's star is on the rise after coming to the attention of most people for her recurring role in Supernatural. After taking on a leading role in Detective Pikachu, the actress was most recently seen alongside Vince Vaughn in Freaky. Here, she transforms into "Murder Barbie."
It's a fun, unexpected take on the classic toy, and Newton most definitely manages to look the part.
A Barbie movie is currently in the works with The Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie attached to star as a live-action version of the titular character. Plot details are being kept a secret, though.
6. Dwayne Johnson As Mufasa
Well, he tried!
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is busy shooting Red Notice for Netflix and will begin work on Black Adam early next year, so he can be forgiven for perhaps ordering a Mufasa costume that didn't fit.
He is, after all, one of the busiest men working in Hollywood today, and this comical photo of the ripped wrestler turned Hollywood A-Lister is certainly in-keeping with the spirit of Halloween.
5. Saweetie And Quavo As Mystique And Beast
Saweetie went viral with her rap debut - "ICY GRL" - and has since found a huge amount of success in that world. Her boyfriend, Quavo, is the de facto leader and production savant of the multiplatinum, Grammy-nominated rap trio Migos, and their Halloween costumes were true "couple goals."
As you can see, they decided to transform themselves into Mystique and Beast, and they're clearly fans of that romance in Fox's X-Men movies to have gone to this much effort.
Saweetie's take on Mystique looks movie-quality in terms of the practical special effects, and it must have taken hours to undergo the process of being turned into the mutant.
4. Javicia Leslie As Scarecrow
Javicia Leslie is the Arrowverse's new Batwoman and will first be seen in action on The CW next January.
Now, you have to believe it was probably tempting to ask network bosses whether she could borrow that suit for Halloween (we doubt they'd approve), but Leslie still paid homage to the Caped Crusader's world. Dressing as the villainous Scarecrow, the actress looks terrifying as the Batman villain.
We don't know whether Scarecrow will come to The CW's version of Gotham City, but it has been confirmed that the upcoming third season of Titans will include Dr. Jonathan Crane.
3. Bella Thorne As Little Red Riding Hood
Bella Thorne has starred in a lot of movies - The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Amityville: The Awakening, and Ratchet & Clank are among her credits - but has focused more on modelling in recent years.
That's evident from these revealing shots of her dressed as Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween.
These are bordering on being NSFW, and Thorne jokingly points out that, "grandma doesn’t approve of my outfit." It remains to be seen whether she'll ever board a superhero project, but the actress and model is perhaps too controversial a character for a big budget blockbuster. You never know, though!
2. Vanessa Hudgens As Catwoman
Vanessa Hudgens had a taste of the DC Universe when she starred in NBC's short-lived Powerless.
The actress seems perfectly suited for a superhero role, but it hasn't happened yet. With any luck, that's going to change, because she's undeniably talented; plus, if this photo of her suited up as Catwoman is any indication, she would make a great Selina Kyle somewhere in the DCEU.
Based on the costume worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns, Hudgens definitely does the original justice; perhaps she could play Catwoman in that long delayed Gotham City Sirens project?
1. Chris Hemsworth As Clint Eastwood And Elsa Pataky As Harley Quinn
Chris Hemsworth's wife, Elsa Pataky, has shared some photos from their Halloween celebrations, and the Fast & Furious star clearly makes for a pretty amazing Harley Quinn based on this post.
While she decided to take inspiration from the DC Extended Universe, the Thor: Love and Thunder star appeared to be channelling his inner cowboy for a costume inspired by Clint Eastwood.
These two look fantastic together, and definitely made an effort for their Australian Halloween party!
