Celebrities Who Dressed Up As Other Celebrities For Halloween

When you’re a celebrity, all eyes are on you at Halloween. It’s go big or go home. So what do you go as? Or maybe the real question is, who do you go as? Well, another celebrity of course! All these stars donned a different famous person’s iconic look for their spooky celebrations, and they nailed it in hilarious or sometimes even touching ways.

1. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen as the Queen and Prince Phillip

Now that’s how you do a couple’s costume. In 2018 Chrissy Teigen dressed up as Queen Elizabeth in her usual sensible coat-shoes-handbag combo, while her husband John Legend wore a replica of Prince Philip’s military uniform. They planned to go out and show the costumes off, but then they got tired and stayed at home. Been there.

2. Katie Couric as Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe is another very popular choice for Halloween costumes, especially her bright-pink dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Katie Couric wore this for a 2005 Halloween episode of Today, and it was inspired by her daughter, who was a big Marilyn fan. It’s still one of Couric’s favorite costumes today.

3. Katy Perry as Freddie Mercury

Katy Perry is a big Freddie Mercury fan. She loves him so much that she transformed into him for Halloween 2008 — which also happened to be her 24th birthday. Three years later, in 2011, she recorded a video tribute to Mercury and said, “Without you, I wouldn’t be making music or doing what I do, because your lyrics inspired me as a 15-year-old girl. I heard ‘Killer Queen,’ and I wanted to be a killer queen!”

4. Sarah Michelle Gellar as Madonna

Buffy actress Sarah Michelle Gellar already had the blonde hair, so it’s easy to see why she decided to dress up as one of the music world’s most famous blondes. For Halloween in 2013 she tweeted out a picture of herself as the Queen of Pop, and her co-star Emma Caulfield responded with, “Ummm… hot much??!”
