And the winners of Halloween are…
Halloween 2026 was another Spooky SZN spectacular with big budget costumes, nostalgic pop culture tributes, and hilarious recreations of viral social media moments currently trending across the whole entire internet and beyond.
This year, co-HalloQueen Janelle Monáe returned with another series of dazzling transformations–this time, scaring our socks off with Mother Creature and the whimsical “PHISH BOY.”
Surrounded by famous friends and special guests, Monáe had a scary good timeeee celebrating the ultimate spirit of Halloween with BACARDÍ Rum at her ultra-exclusive Wondaween: Creature Camp bash in La La Land.
The star-studded affair brought out Buddy, Keke Palmer, Leon Thomas, Natasha Rothwell, Amber Riley, Ravyn Lenae, Trevor Jackson, Kendrick Sampson, and more, who were transported from the Hollywood Hills to a spine-chilling woodland ‘Creature Camp’ complete with eerie campgrounds, BACARDÍ rum cocktails, and creatures of the night(life).
Held on Halloween night, the annual spooktacular treated guests to custom BACARDÍ Rum cocktails, including Janelle’s personal favorite, the BACARDÍ Spookito featuring BACARDÍ Superior Rum, mint, lime, and grenadine.
With so many celebrity Halloween parties happening at the same time, this definitely looked like move!
Other ‘Best Costume’ contenders included the always-spectacular Heidi Klum as her life-sized severed hand, Keke Palmer and son Leodis as Michael & Janet from the classic Scream video, A Different World star Cornell Young IV twinning with his twin as Smoke & Stack from Sinners, Gabby Sidibe frolicking around in Drake’s pumpkin spicy Fallfit, and more.
