Best 2022 celebrity Halloween costumes, from Kim Kardashian’s Mystique to Jojo Siwa’s Malfoy – National | Globalnews.ca
From frightening to funny, entertainers of all kinds employed their glam squads (and in some cases, massive budget) to bring their costumes to life. For many of the world’s most beloved celebrities, there was clearly no last-minute Amazon scouring for an outfit.
In 2021, several celebrities served up fabulous looks — who can forget Lizzo’s Baby Yoda, Ariana Grande’s Miss Creature from The Black Lagoon or Harry Styles’ Dorothy?

Global News readers’ pet costumes will make Halloween paw-sitively delightful
In 2022, the bar was even higher — and we’ve rounded up some of the best celebrity Halloween costumes that we’ve seen so far.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian went above and beyond for her Mystique costume this year. The reality TV star’s yellow contacts and blue facial paint brought the Marvel comic book hero to life, all while keeping that classic Kardashian sexiness. (It remains unclear how successfully the star used the washroom in the — albeit impressive — costume.)
Psalm, North, Chicago and Saint West
Kim couldn’t be the only Kardashian in a great costume this year. Even her kids Psalm, North, Chicago and Saint West got in on the fun and dressed up as a gaggle of iconic musicians. Kardashian shared several photos of the kids dressed as Aaliyah, Sade, Snoop Dogg and Eazy E — likely a stark difference from other children their age who commonly dress as princesses and monsters.
Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner has long been praised for her Halloween costumes, but this year, she pulled out all the stops. Dressed as the Bride of Frankenstein, Jenner was emotive and beautiful. She turned this classic movie monster into a modern-day beauty, but she didn’t stop there.
Kylie Jenner dressed as Elvira.

In her second Halloween costume this year, Jenner stunned as Elvira. Complete with the signature massive updo and deep V neckline, Jenner was a convincing Mistress of the Dark.
Kendall Jenner
You can’t stop these Kardashians/Jenners! Kendall Jenner dressed as Toy Story‘s Jessie — though Jenner’s doll sported a much cheekier pair of trousers. She flirtatiously captioned her Instagram post, “well aren’t you just the sweetest space toy.”
Khalid
Popular R&B artist Khalid also went as a Toy Story character this year, and even posed in a life-size display box. Of course, he didn’t forget Woody’s signature ‘Andy’ on the bottom of his boot. Yee-haws all around!
Jojo Siwa
Putting her new, short ‘do to good use, Jojo Siwa dressed up as Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy. The former Dance Moms star even posted several videos of herself lip syncing (rather convincingly!) to Malfoy’s lines from the movies.
Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe had easily one of the most impressive celebrity Halloween costumes this year. Even for those unfamiliar with movie The Fifth Element, this costume is striking in its quality. Monáe also shared video of herself mimicking Diva Plavalaguna’s operatic performance from the movie.
Diddy
Diddy (a.k.a. Sean Combs) brought the drama this Halloween. While the Joker is by no means an original costume idea, most don’t do it like Diddy. The rapper posted several photos of himself hanging out of a cop car and firing up a flame thrower to Instagram. Shockingly convincing.
Ciara
1, 2 Step singer Ciara and her five-year-old daughter Sienna looked amazing as Serena and Venus Williams. In a cheeky remake of the tennis stars’ 2000’s “Got Milk?” ad, the mother-daughter pair sported matching beaded braids and milk moustaches. At the bottom of the photo, Ciara paid homage to the Williams’ sisters, writing, “To the best female athletes of all time! Venus and Serena, Love Ci Ci and Si Si.”
Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington said Hello as Lionel Ritchie this Halloween. The actor shed her usual Hollywood glam for a much more vintage look and recreated the cover of Ritchie’s self-titled album. Washington wrote that she was “ready to embarrass my kids All Night Long.” It seems she delivered on that promise, as she shared a lip sync to Ritchie’s You Are.
Lizzo
Lizzo churned out three Halloween costumes this weekend, all with impressive accuracy. First, she dressed as rapper Blueface’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Chrisean Rock. The singer, complete with a missing tooth, recreated Rock’s since-viral “I don’t know who to slap” moment on her Instagram page. Lizzo did, however, switch her fake neck tattoo for a portrait of her own boyfriend, rather than Blueface, who Rock has tattooed.
Next, Lizzo rocked a rather convincing Marge Simpson. Complete with yellow body paint and a skyscraper blue wig, it’s safe to say Lizzo did The Simpsons matriarch justice.
Finally, and easily most niche of all, Lizzo dressed as Woo Wop, the six-year-old TikTok sensation best-known for his emo costuming and “I wanna kill my mom” song that became a meme this year. Lizzo recreated the iconic meme in Woo Wop’s signature chains and pieced black beanie.
Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer gives the people what they want. In a nod to a fan request for the Nope star to play a live action Rapunzel “with 100ft box braids,” Palmer dressed up as the character, complete with a tower. She even uploaded a short sketch to Instagram, where she let her hair down to a boombox-holding gentleman caller.
Palmer also dressed as Marvel superhero Rogue this week, yet another character that fans have requested her to play.
Joe Jonas
Joe Jonas chose to “Go with the Flo” this Halloween. Dressed as the well-known Progressive spokesperson Flo, Jonas proved not every great Halloween costume has to be an expensive, artfully designed outfit.
Frankie Jonas
Every younger sibling loves to poke fun at their older family members, and Frankie Jonas is no exception. This year, he and his girlfriend dressed as the former A-list couple Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift. He even made fun of his older brother’s purity ring, which the Jonas siblings used to wear back in the day.

Gwyneth Paltrow to take the stand in $300K ski crash lawsuit – National | Globalnews.ca
Terry Sanderson has accused Paltrow, 50, of negligence and is suing for US$300,000 (about $410,000). He alleged the Goop founder collided with him while skiing at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, “knocking him down hard, knocking him out.”
In the complaint filed in 2019, Sanderson, 76, said the accident left him with “permanent traumatic brain injury, 4 broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life.” He maintains that Paltrow left him collapsed on the slope and skied away.
In a counterclaim, Paltrow said Sanderson skied into her in a “full body hit,” giving her minor injuries that prevented her from skiing the next day. She claims he apologized to her after the accident.
Paltrow said she only left the scene of the accident after a Deer Valley Resort employee gave confirmation she could depart.
She also alleged Sanderson has said before that he does not have a clear memory of the accident.
In 2019, Sanderson classified the accident as a hit-and-run but that was later struck down by a judge. Any mention of incidences after the collision — including an allegation from Sanderson that a resort employee who did not witness the crash skied off and accused Sanderson of being responsible for the accident — were also disallowed.
Sanderson’s original lawsuit sought $3.1 million in damages.
In her counterclaim, Paltrow is seeking only $1 in damages (a symbolic gesture), and capital for her lawyer’s fees.
The trial is set to begin on March 21 in Utah. To win the civil suit, Sanderson must demonstrate the burden of proof and prove his injuries were directly caused by the ski collision.

Bruce Willis’ wife shares tearful message about grief on actor’s 68th birthday – National | Globalnews.ca
In an emotional video posted to Instagram on Sunday, Heming Willis, 44, said she “started the morning by crying.”
“I think it’s important that you see all sides of this,” she told her followers, referring to the struggles of dealing with Willis’ frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
In February, Willis’ family shared an update that the actor’s aphasia has progressed into FTD, a condition that often strikes younger patients than other forms of dementia. Symptoms include difficulty with speech and movement and gradual memory loss.
Heming Willis said people always call her “strong” for supporting her husband.

She continued: “But I’m also raising two kids in this, so sometimes in our lives we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it, and that’s what I’m doing.”
Willis and Heming Willis share two daughters, 10 and eight years old. Willis also has three other daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore.
Heming Willis said she experiences “times of sadness” and “grief” every day, but they were especially strong on Willis’ birthday.
She grew teary eyed as she spoke about editing another Instagram post that included several clips of Willis and his family over the years. Heming Willis called the videos “a knife in my heart.”
Alongside the video, also posted Sunday, Heming Willis wrote: “My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it. Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too.”
Willis’ ex-wife Moore, 60, also shared a video, this one from Willis’ birthday party. In the video, Willis, who is missing a tooth, is seen blowing out his birthday candles atop a pie.
“Right at it!” Willis declared, stumbling slightly. Thrice his family chanted “Hip-hip-hooray!” before they embraced Willis.
Willis retired from acting in March 2022. At the time, his family said he was “experiencing some health issues … which are impacting his cognitive abilities.”
According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, FTD is an umbrella term for a group of rare disorders that most often affect the parts of the brain associated with personality and behaviour. Approximately five to 10 per cent of all diagnosed dementia cases are FTD, but the condition accounts for about 20 per cent of all young onset dementia cases diagnosed in people under 65.
