Ah, Halloween. To us mere mortals, it’s a chance to dress up in a fairly average excuse for a costume – we’re going for scary, not sexy thank you very much – but to celebrities, it’s their chance to go all out (usually dressed as another equally famous folk) in a bid to secretly outdo each other on social media. If their costume choice is poor, we reserve the right to judge for they usually have a ‘crew’ to assist with the ensemble and therefore, no excuse but to wear anything less than stellar.
