They don’t call it “Gay Christmas” for nothing. No one does Halloween like the LGBTQ+ community, and these celebrities brought their A game this year.
While it may be too late to take inspiration from the extraordinary costumes this year, it’s never too late to start planning for next year.
- Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts as Coming To America
The Betts are already royalty in our eyes, so this homage to the 1988 Eddie Murphy comedy was perfect! Jessica perfectly encapsulates Murphy- down to the goatee! Grotesquerie star Niecy Nash stunned in a massive pink ballgown.
- Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager as Jack and Rose
Don’t let go, Hoda! The former Today show anchor held on tight to her wife, Jenna, as the two committed to the iconic Titanic pose. In a side-by-side photo comparison, the couple shows off their resemblance to the real deal.

Janelle Monáe is always a standout on Halloween and this year is no exception! The singer graced the cover of the Hollywood Reporter as a sexy cyborg monster-man.
She didn’t stop there! Janelle was unrecognizable in a full-body E.T. costume. She might have officially won Halloween with this one.
