Halloween is a holiday made for artists. With no restrictions put on their creativity, they can go all out with costumes. Celebrities are fans just like the rest of us, so it makes perfect sense that they would use spooky season to shout out their favorite characters, movies and TV series. For Halloween 2023, Black celebs went all out with costumes from Game of Thrones, Poetic Justice and Alice in Wonderland. With no limits on where their imaginations could take them, some of our favorite Black stars showed out with their Halloween costumes this year.
