Look, it’s the morning after Halloween and we know a bunch of you are revelling in how clever your costume was last night. But reality check time: just as with houses, breakdowns and Instagram, celebrities do Halloween better than you.
That Jason Voorhees outfit you worked so hard on? The Jacko in ‘Thriller’ jacket you spent so long looking for? The Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson set that you and your partner got spot-on? No one’s paying attention, because you’re not Nicki Minaj. That’s generally how it works, but one exception came this year via rising Montreal producer Tommy Kruise. He dressed up as A$AP Mob’s A$AP Yams, right down to the tattoo – and the results are honestly perfect.
Check out Kruise’s Halloween outfit above, and check out some of the music world’s best and worst costumes – from Miley’s Lil Kim, to Minaj’s electrical tape, to the kid who went dressed as the Nothing Was The Same cover – over the next few pages.
