Halloween is always open season for the masses to give us looks and life simultaneously. Living in this digital insta-age, the desire to be “Best Dressed” in the costume department amplifies. We have to give credit where is due.
A slay is a slay and a win is a win.
So, after hours of scrolling, double-tapping, and retweeting, we rounded up our favorite looks year from the A-listers to the regular-degular-schmegulars.
90s nostalgia reigned supreme this Halloween season as many opted to pay homage to their favorite pop culture moments from the decade.
