Another Halloween has passed, and let’s be real: celebs across the board ate with their costumes this year. Many of our favorite stars transformed themselves into icons of the past and present, making Halloween 2025 one where they didn’t just dress up — they worshipped at the altar of legacy.
Whether it was Haile Bailey’s ode to Lisa Bonet’s 1988 Rolling Stones cover, Wendy Raquel Robinson’s spot-on recreation of Glo’Rilla or singer Ludmilla‘s Wakanda-inspired pose, these celebrities put in the work. Of course, we have to give special flowers to actor and NAACP Image Awards winner Lance Gross, who paid homage to EBONY with a copy of our magazine prominently displayed in his family’s seventies-infused tableau.
While a good Halloween costume shouldn’t need a reference pic, we are so glad s
