It’s finally Halloween, but for some — celebrities included — the celebrating began as early as the weekend ahead of the spookiest holiday of the year. Starting Saturday, celebs started letting the good times roll, busting out their best 2018 costumes for parties, events and more. From current pop-culture icons including Game of Thrones and Black Panther characters to blasts from the past including cartoon characters, iconic celebrity looks and vintage-inspired career-wear, celebrities pulled out all the stops this year. They got super-creative and super-into their costumes, and we are so grateful they did.
