Anton Kirichenko -

Halloween 2025 brought an exquisite display of creativity and imagination in the land of celebrities, where only a select few outshined with their extraordinary costumes. This year, we celebrate the true winners, stepping beyond conventional glamour to bring iconic characters to life in remarkable detail.

LISA as the Golden Siren

Dominating the Halloween costume scene was Kpop artist LISA, who transformed into the mesmerizing golden siren from Netflix’s Love, Death and Robots. Her look was so impeccable, one could hardly distinguish it from the real character. According to Forbes, her attention to detail set a new standard, making her the undisputed queen of this Halloween affair.

Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz’s Mythical Transformation

Known for her elaborate Halloween costumes, Heidi Klum delivered once again, embodying Medusa with striking realism, complete with serpentine hair that animated with lifelike movement. Alongside her, Tom Kaulitz matched her creativity, portraying a soldier turned to stone, making them the perfect mythical duo.

Rei Ami and EJAE’s KPop Twist

Amongst the Halloween elite, Zoey and Rumi of KPop Demon Hunters came alive with Rei Ami and EJAE’s transformation. Their clever depiction, with Rei Ami as Zoey and EJAE humorously dressed as the infamous Derpy the cat, was both charismatic and captivating.

Hailee Steinfeld’s Meta Moment

Hailee Steinfeld’s costume was a delightful twist on self-reference, as she dressed as the post-credits iteration of her character from Sinners. It’s an instance of “cheating,” yet amusing to witness an actor portraying their own fictional persona in an alternate costume.
