Explained simply
Halloween gives people a chance to dress as fictional characters or transform themselves for a night. Some celebrities use it to create elaborate costumes, often drawing on films, music and mythology, and share the results at parties or in photographs.
Heidi Klum, a German-born model and television presenter, is known for hosting a high-profile Halloween party and appearing in elaborate disguises. Her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, has joined her in themed costumes; other celebrity couples, including Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, have also dressed as paired characters.
These costumes combine entertainment, fashion and popular culture, and can attract attention well beyond the parties where they are worn. They also show how couples can use a shared theme to make a joint public appearance.
