1. Cruella de Vil

Self-taught makeup artist @beatsbydeb has posted a slew of various Halloween looks for her almost 600,000 Instagram followers to eat up over the past couple of weeks. One of them included this luxe take on arguably Disney’s most fashionable villains, Cruella de Vil. Paying tribute to the character’s “101 Dalmatians” roots, the makeup artist did a stunning black and white polka dot print cut-crease on her eyes.

 

2. A Scantily Clad “Toy Story” Woody

Twitter user Shanon Brianna tantalizingly dressed up as Woody from Disney’s popular “Toy Story” film franchise for Halloween this year. One user brashly shared in the comments that he “got a Buzz and a Woody” from peeping at Brianna’s pics.

Elvira

Makeup artist @naezrahlooks started her celebration of spooky season at the top of the month by posting this “modernized” Black-girl friendly version of Elvira, and aced as the ultimate “Mistress of the Dark.”

 

3. Michiko Malandro

This Twitter user dressed up as Michiko from the 2008 cult-classic adventure series “Michiko & Hatchin” for all the anime queens out there. As you can see from the side-by-side of her cosplay next to the character, she did her thing!

4. Saucy Santana

This 26-year-old has gone viral due to her on-point channeling of musician and Yung Miami’s close friend, Saucy Santana.

“First of all… I love me some @the1saucysantana,” the recreator posted on her Instagram. “So me going as him for Halloween was a no brainer. He is everythinggggg! His humor, his personality, his confidence is TOP TIER. Love, love him! 💗💗”

5. The Scooby Do Bunch

Ooop! This group did their thing as the Scooby Do bunch, channeling Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and Fred.

6. Mrs. Incredible aka Elastigirl

This one was absolutely top tier!

This cosplayer seemingly dressed up as a fictional character for every day in October, from the looks of her Instagram account. That said, she really did Mrs. Impossible’s curvy physique justice with this one.

7. Tinkerbell

Celebrity photographer Ally Green’s Tinkerbell costume was giving grown and sexy this year.

8. The Mask

This unmistakable rendition of Jim Carrey’s character Stanley Ipkiss in 1994’s “The Mask” has garnered over 57,000 likes on Twitter since Oct. 30, when the photo above was shared. The recreator told her followers, “People were really stopping me and asking for pics like I was really The Mask.”

9. Lil Kim

It wouldn’t be a true list of top Halloween costumes unless we shared a bomb recreation of 90s Lil Kim, would it?

 

10. The Derrick Jaxn Confession video

This was one of the funniest couple’s costumes we saw this year. Not only did the two get the gestures and clothing on point, but they also reminded us about all the nonsense and drama that came with Derrick’s shenanigans earlier this year.
