Many celebrities take a no-holds-barred approach to Halloween, meaning their costumes are often over-the-top and riveting to look at.

From Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest's "Schitt's Creek" costumes to Halsey's transformation into Emily from "Corpse Bride," stars are pulling out all the stops to make this Halloween memorable.
Here are the best celebrity Halloween costumes of 2020.
Steve Martin dressed up as Vice President Mike Pence with a fly on his head
The "Cheaper by the Dozen" actor didn't change much about his appearance for the costume. However, the black speck sitting on his hair made it apparent that he was recreating the highly-memed moment when a fly landed on Pence's head at the 2020 vice presidential debate.
"My Halloween costume arrived!" he wrote.
Ryan Seacrest mirrored David Rose from 'Schitt's Creek'
After the Canadian comedy took home a record-setting nine Emmys in 2020, the talk-show host paid homage to "Schitt's Creek" character David Rose, played by Dan Levy.
He previewed his Halloween costume, complete with David's custom white sunglasses and black kilt, telling fans that he would wear the outfit on "Live With Kelly and Ryan."
"EW, DAVID," he captioned the Instagram photo, referencing one of Alexis Rose's (Annie Murphy) taglines.
Levy, who was also a writer and executive producer on the show, gave Seacrest a stamp of approval.
"I've never looked better," the actor tweeted in response to the host's costume.
His cohost, Kelly Ripa, channeled Moira Rose, another 'Schitt's Creek' character
Ripa, who cohosts "Live With Kelly and Ryan" alongside Seacrest, also gave a shout-out to the award-winning sitcom.
She dressed up as Moira Rose, a character played by Catherine O'Hara.
Moira is known for her over-the-top outfits and vast collection of wigs, so Ripa decided to go with the pope-inspired garments that the matriarch wore to officiate David's wedding on season six.
Levy also seemed to get a kick out of Ripa's Halloween get-up and responded, "Omg" to the photo on Twitter.
Bella Thorne showed off several looks, including a fairy and a Little Red Riding Hood inspired costume
