Halloween is just round the corner, which means so are outlandish celebrity halloween costumes. But, while we love to see what the Kardashians and Katy Perry cook up year and year (oh, and Zoë Kravitz), we've forgotten about some golden oldies, the OG celebrities of the '80s, '90s and '00s, who paved the way with their classic nurse, cat and witch costumes.
There's Brooke Shields as Cruella de Vil and Cher dressed as Cleopatra. A few more of our favourites include a young Drew Barrymore, dressed as a purple crayon, looking very disappointed with her choice of costume, and Naomi Campbell, bringing some glamour to proceedings with her corset and feather boa. (Special snaps must go to Jamie Lee Curtis, who clearly knows the importance of a proper Halloween costume.)
If you're struggling to think of what you might conjure up for Halloween 2021, here are the best ideas from the '80s, '90s and '00s.
