From a global pandemic to election struggles, this year has definitely been tough on everyone. While times may be hard right now, it’s not going to stop the human spirit from finding ways to celebrate life and the traditions we love – like Halloween. Pre-pandemic, this was definitely the most awaited event of the year. But with quarantine in effect, it has become a challenge to do Halloween. To adjust, celebrity Halloween 2020 costumes have become more creative than ever!

We can’t help but be amazed over how people managed to have fun and celebrate one of the most beloved traditions. This year, there were some changes for Halloween. Although there were still some privileged celebrities who somehow thought it was okay to throw huge parties without masks on, there were also a lot of stars who were smart enough to celebrate Halloween safely.

Here are just some of our favorite celebrity Halloween 2020 costumes:

Maya Smith

‘The Voice’ alum Maya Smith took us right back to the 90s as she dressed up as popular 90s character Moesha. Played by Brandy, Moesha was such an iconic character of the 90s era. The popular sitcom aired back in 1996 and lasted for six seasons. Maya is a young singer but she got the whole look on point, down to Moesha’s braids and even the background. The look was so good that Brandy reposted it in her story! Naturally, Maya was all giddy from the repost. Who else is nostalgic for the 90s?

Ciara

Here’s another celebrity who’s giving a respectful nod to the past! Probably because times were much easier back then. Ciara even pulled in husband Russel Wilson to complete her Halloween look. The singers transformed themselves into Janet Jackson and Busta Rhymes – two iconic 90s singers. Ciara dressed up in a super fierce leather ensemble with ring embellishments and she finished with Janet Jackson makeup and hair. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson also successfully channelled his 90s rapper vibes in a metallic silver suit and Busta Rhymes hair. The married couple were so into their looks that they even recreated the ‘What’s It Gonna Be?’ music video.

Gabrielle Union

While other celebrities were going all out with their Halloween 2020 costumes, Gab Union decided to go a different route. She and her family decided to do a group costume and dressed up as SMORES! We are dying because the whole look was so cute and their daughter Kaavia was the littlest and happiest marshmallow we’ve ever seen. Gab proved that you don’t really need an extravagant costume to celebrate Halloween. Sometimes, simple is best! This whole look was just wholesome and heartwarming. What a creative idea to involve the whole family as ingredients for smores!

Cardi B

Naturally, Cardi B is not one to take the simple route because this queen is all about being bold and savage. For this year, Ms. Bardi decided to be a sexy, slithering Medusa. Now, this is no ordinary celebrity Halloween 2020 costume, of course. In true Cardi fashion, the rapper went all out and became a golden Medusa goddess. She was dressed in a metallic golden Medusa two-piece suit, which also came with Medusa hair. The cherry on top was her snake tail, which looked so realistic! Cardi’s Medusa costume is definitely one of the best celebrity Halloween 2020 costumes. And she makes such a fine Medusa too!
