Lara Spencer as a Royal Baby

Lara Spencer as a Royal Baby — What fun! In 2014, Lara Spencer made a royal debut on Good Morning America’s Halloween special in New York City as the ‘Royal Baby’. Now, she could’ve easily gone with one of the iconic outfits worn by Prince George, but instead, she went for the funny and had her whole costume custom built, complete with a pram and crown. You, of course, don’t need to go that all out. A simple crown and pacifier should do the trick for everyone to get what you are.

Katy Perry As A Cheeto

Katy Perry As A Cheeto — Sometimes, the joke is just being the absolute last thing that anyone would ever except! Katy Perry went to Kate Hudson Halloween party dressed as a Flaming Hot Cheetos on year, which immediately turned heads, given that Katy is usually dressed to the nines in something fabulous or sexy. So, for her, the clever idea was to dress wildly out of the box! The joke is on you for not expecting it!

Clever Halloween Seal and Heidi Klum as The Garden of Eden

Clever Halloween Seal and Heidi Klum as The Garden of Eden — A clever couples Halloween costume is to take a classic costume and turn it on it’s head! It would’ve been all too easy for Seal and Heidi Klum to dress as Adam and Eve at her 2006 annual Halloween party. But it was much more fun and unexpected when they arrived dressed as the entire Garden of Eden. They have all the elements – apple, snake, garden, and yes, even Eve. Very clever!

Nina Dobrev as Billie Eilish

Nina Dobrev as Billie Eilish — Yes, dressing like your favorite celebrity is common practice on Halloween, but a clever twist is to pick a very specific outfit or moment from the star’s career that isn’t the norm. Making our point is Nina Dobrev, who is a dead ringer for Billie Eilish at the 2019 Casamigos Halloween party. It seemed like everyone was dressed like Billie that year, to be honest, but the twist Nina took was to recreate a very specific Instagam look from earlier in the year. With the green hair, she’s instantly recognizable, but you really need to know the artist to get the rest of the look.

Zoe Kravtiz as an Early Morning Vampire

Zoe Kravtiz as an Early Morning Vampire — Edward Cullen and his fam aside, it’s a well-known fact that vampires are not morning people. Or daylight people at all, in fact. So, Zoe Kravtiz dressed as a vamp looking like she’s ready to meet the dawn in a robe, jammies, and a cup of joe at the 2019 Casamigos Halloween party in Beverly Hills is terrible clever – and very easy to DIY yourself. We’d venture a safe bet that everything she has on right here you could find in your house or apartment right now.

Stephen Amell and Cassandra Jean As Frank & Beans

Stephen Amell and Cassandra Jean As Frank & Beans — Everyone loves a good food pun! Stephen Amell and Cassandra Jean arrived to the Casamigos Halloween party in 2019 in this clever Halloween costume: a hot dog and baked beans. Has a picnic ever known a more compatible pair? No, so why shouldn’t these two lovebirds show off how close they are with their Halloween costume? And hey, this is really easy to DIY yourself. His costume looks off the rack and she looks like she just paint a big cardboard box. You could do that!

Katy Perry With A Presidential Party

Katy Perry With A Presidential Party — Now, let’s say you’re looking for a group costume. You could go as the cast of something or some well-recognizable band. But what’s more fun is to go as something unexpected. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom went to Kate Hudson’s annual Halloween party in Los Angeles a few years go as the Clintons, but the clever twist was their friends tagging along as their security detail. Simple costume, but it makes the whole group look so much more authentic!

Larry David As ‘The Thing With Two Heads’

Larry David As ‘The Thing With Two Heads’ — Now, you might not get the reference to the cult classic movie from the 70s, but admit it – you’re impressed that ‘Seinfeld’ Creator and ‘Curb your Enthusiasm’ star Larry David walked around with his pal all night long literally attached at the hip .. and the neck! This is a statement costume and a conversation starter, something all clever costumes should achieve!

Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrall as Bacon & Eggs — Don’t over think it: the cleverest ideas are usually the simplest ones, the instantly recognizable icons that will make people stop and think, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Kelly Osbourne and Luke Worrall understood the assignment when they attend Heidi Klum’s 10th Annual Halloween Party at Voyeur in West Hollywood in 2009.

Kris Jenner as General Perversion

Kris Jenner as General Perversion — At first glance, Kris Jenner is simply suited up as a military maiden for Halloween. Standard look, tbh. But there’s a pun to her perfect put-together costume, and it’s all in her name. Kris dubbed herself “General Perversion” on that fateful all Hallows eve in 2008, and it’s become one of her most recognizable looks to date. And yes, Kim is Wonder Woman — no pun intended there.
