Celebrity Halloween: From Stranger Things to Hillary and Trump

It's 31 October which means fancy dress is out in full force for Halloween.

There was a time when witches and black cats were enough, but not any more.

The US presidential hopefuls, evil movie characters and even a sexy Santa featured amongst the celebrity costumes.

We know what our favourites are, but what's yours?

Katy Perry dressed as Hillary Clinton.

It was Katy Perry, honest.

Imagine a world where Katy Perry and Nick Grimshaw are competing to run America.

Grimmy is Donald Trump.

We're slightly scared.

The celebrity world was not short of film references

Perrie from Little Mix put on a stunning red wig and partied as Poison Ivy.

We're totally jealous of her incredible makeup.

Amy Schumer is... well do we even need to say?

Here she is dressed as Dustin from Stranger things with her pal, Eleven.

Then there's Jessica Alba channelling her inner AbFab.

Patsy and Edina

We're always used to Gone Girl's Emily Ratajowski looking great, but this is another level.

She dressed as Cleopatra for Halloween.

And Bette Midler took us back to our childhood as Winnie, Hocus Pocus' scary diva.

She looked incredible.

Somewhere over the rainbow is Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas.

A wonderful Dorothy and scarecrow don't you think?

A nod to Oscar winning The Revenant from Nina Dobrev...

Complete with Oscar in hand.

...but she couldn't keep to only one costume idea.

Joined by Taylor Launter, Nina wasn't the only Ryan Lochte at this party.

And Ryan Lochte decided not to dress as himself, instead he went as the Mad Hatter.

With his fiance Kayla Rae Reid ad Alice in Wonderland.

Kylie Jenner also had a couple of opportunities to get into costume.

Here she is looking a little Dirrty as early 2000s Christina Aguilera.

Then for her own living dead party she went for a more traditional style.

A skeleton was her costume of choice.

She wasn't the only Kardashian dressing up.

Kourtney Kardashian opted for Time Burton's Corpse Bride.

Ever heard of 80s American hip-hop trio Salt 'N' Pepper?

Three generations of Beyonce paid homage to the 80s American hip hop trio.

We wonder if Tara Reid got the wrong holiday celebration...

She dressed as a sexy Santa.
