Stars Illuminate Halloween with Elaborate Costumes

The Halloween spirit swept through the celebrity world as stars showcased a variety of elaborate costumes to mark the occasion. From iconic literary characters to pop culture figures, celebrities donned inventive outfits for parties and gatherings.

Kelly Osbourne was among those who embraced the festivities, attending Annabel's Halloween bash. She shared photos of her cat-themed costume, complete with a headpiece and cape, and posted a selfie with Rod Stewart. Osbourne later described her morning after the event as "tired" while spending time with her son.

Helen Flanagan drew inspiration from literature, dressing as Catherine from "Wuthering Heights." Her costume featured a low-cut lace corset, a red PVC skirt, and gloves. Louise Thompson celebrated Halloween in New York, opting for a Cleopatra-inspired costume for a night out in Williamsburg.

Mark Wright and Olly Murs shared their costumes, which were based on characters from children's favorites. Other notable attendees at events like the Hallowzeem party in Mayfair included Laura Whitmore and Leigh Francis.

Some stars kicked off their celebrations a day early. Amanda Holden transformed into axe murderess Lizzie Borden, complete with a blood-stained period dress and an axe prop. She was joined by Heart Radio co-star Jamie Theakston, who dressed as Borden's father.

Lily Allen poked fun at a past concert controversy by dressing as a poorly ticketed arena, wearing a white suit adorned with blue dots to represent available seating and carrying a thermometer.

Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks embraced a couple's costume as Harley Quinn and The Joker, inspired by the DC characters. Attwood sported a metallic minidress and temporary tattoos, while Wicks dyed his hair green and used white face paint.

Rochelle and Marvin Humes, inspired by the early 2000s hit "Dilemma," transformed into Nelly and Kelly Rowland. The couple recreated a music video for the song, with Rochelle wearing a plunging leather top and low-rise jeans, and Marvin sporting a wig.

Other attendees included Phoebe, daughter of Vernon Kay and Tess Daly, who dressed as a devil, and former Love Island star Amber Gill in a revealing black dress. Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale were also noted guests at the Hallowzeem Party.
