Beetlejuice and ET among impressive Halloween costumes served up by celebrities

Beetlejuice, ET the Extra-Terrestrial and Britney Spears are among the impressive Halloween looks celebrities have adopted this year.

Love Island host Maya Jama, who hosts an annual star-studded Halloween party, maintained her high standard of costumes by creating a tailored Beetlejuice outfit for October 31.

Instead of donning the character’s classic black and white striped suit, she modernised it into a blazer dress with statement shoulders which she paired with matching stockings and black high heels.

To finish the look she wore a luminous green curly wig to represent the hair of the character, who actor Michael Keaton recently revisited in the 2024 Beetlejuice sequel.

Alongside a series of photos of the costume posted to Instagram, Jama wrote: “Beetlejuice’s Unruly Niece. Happy Halloweeeeen SO EXCITED FOR TONIGHT.”

US socialite Paris Hilton opted for Britney Spears’ outfit in the Baby One More Time music video, donning a tied white shirt, grey cardigan, grey pleated skirt and the classic pigtail hairstyle.

She shared a host of snaps of her posing in the costume beside pink school lockers and in a classroom to Instagram, writing: “It’s Britney bitch. Love you icon @BritneySpears”

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran had fun with his costume by dressing as a viral meme of himself, donning a fluffy brown monkey bodysuit.

He shared a photo of him leaning over a table while holding a phone which showed a photo of him in a similar look, writing: “Haters will say its AI #halloweenbruv #feltcutemightdeletelater.”

Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards transformed herself into fellow pop star Lady Gaga while she dressed her son Axel to look like Bruno Mars.

Their costume paid homage to the looks the singers wear in the music video for their new collaboration song Die With A Smile.

Reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague transformed into the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween while her daughter Bambi, who she shares with former fiance Tommy Fury, was dressed as the girl in red popularised by the Brothers Grimm.

The former Love Island contestant shared an image to Instagram of her wearing the fairy tale grandmother’s brown dress, and large wolf paws as she posed for a photograph with Bambi.

“But grandmother… what big hands you have” the influencer, 25, wrote.

Her former partner Fury opted for a Freddy Krueger look, complete with the scarred face and mechanical hand.

US singer Janelle Monae, YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg, British singer and presenter Myleene Klass, and Channel 4’s Countdown stars also marked the spooky time of year.

Klass, who rose to fame in the band Hear’Say, opted for a classic version of the Wonder Woman outfit, complete with long boots and blue, red and gold bodysuit.

She shared a video of her transforming in one post, writing: “Happy Halloween to all my wonder women. You may be fast Wonder woman, but nobody can be in two places at the same time. And yet we are.”

Dimoldenberg completely changed her appearance into the administrator Roz from Pixar movie Monsters Inc.

She shared a series of photos of the transformative look to Instagram, which saw her hair pulled into one purple spike and a dress that resembled the body of the slug-like monster.

Going further was Monae, who portrayed the alien from Steven Spielberg’s classic movie ET: The Extra-Terrestrial.

A post on her Instagram showed the singer in a number of outfits as the alien, including one which featured a Kamala Harris badge.

Another video showed her in the costume with its chest and finger lighting up as it does in the film.

Countdown star Rachel Riley dressed up as 1950s movie star Marilyn Monroe on the set of the Channel 4 game show.She wore a pink dress with silver spider detailing and a silver necklace, while other stars of the series including Colin Murray and Susie Dent dressed as monsters.

TV presenter Jamie Laing dressed as Carl Fredricksen from the Pixar film Up, with his wife Sophie Habboo dressed as character Russell.

A video posted to Instagram showed Habboo speaking as Russell, with balloons tied to her back, before the camera zoomed out to reveal Laing as the elderly Carl.

Actor Zooey Deschanel dressed as Angie Katsanevas from The Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City, with her fiance Jonathan Scott dressing up as Wolverine.

Katsanevas even replied to Deschanel’s post saying: “OMG Little Bo Greek is shaking in her Bonnet right now.

“Zooey I’m honoured. You’re an icon. The Greek Mafia loves you.”

The cast of This Morning all dressed as an array of characters with presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary as the Bride of Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s Monster.

Will Best also appeared on this morning’s show dressed as a werewolf.
