Even if you aren’t going anywhere for Halloween, the playful holiday is always one worth celebrating — just ask your favorite celebrities. Any look at Hollywood’s red carpets will tell you that its top players love to dress up. But when it comes to Halloween, the stakes can feel even higher. The industry’s spooky traditions typically include everything you can imagine, including the best celebrity Halloween costumes — and while the celebrations may be on a smaller scale, there’s no doubt it’ll be the same this year.

If Hollywood’s approach to the festive holiday is any indication, you can get into the spirit as much or as little as you want. Channel Zoe Kravitz's Halloween energy with a chic cozy ensemble easy to emulate. Or, if you prefer to go with a fashion-forward approach, opt for a costume like Lupita Nyong'o's take on Dionne from Clueless. In any case, you can always channel your favorite Hollywood icon like Cindy Crawford, who made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1996 as Marilyn Monroe.
