Paris Hilton, North West, Ice Spice, more stars transform for Halloween: See the costumes
It's the spookiest time of year, with celebrities donning frighteningly creative Halloween costumes.
Did any stars dare to dress as Barbie despite the SAG-AFTRA ban? And who topped Diddy's Joker, Kim Kardashian's Mystique and Heidi Klum's human-sized earthworm from last year?
The stars are always thinking outside the box for the holiday, but some may have had plans foiled this year.
Earlier this month, SAG-AFTRA announced that striking actors, now well past 100 days in, are prohibited from wearing costumes inspired by major studio content. The guild asked strikers to wear generalized Halloween costumes, like witches, fairies or zombies.
The guidelines did not clarify whether you could dress up as characters from movie studio-adapted content such as Mattel's Barbie or Nintento's Mario, but it appears actors largely opted to be safe rather than sorry.
Here are some of the Halloween costumes celebrities have brewed up this season.

Kim Kardashian and Ye's oldest child North West, 10, paid homage to her father over the weekend.
In TikTok videos shared via Kardashian and West's joint account, the 10-year-old dressed up with a bear head and a varsity jacket, resembling the character on Ye's album covers for his 2004 debut "The College Dropout," 2005 sophomore album "Late Registration" and 2007 album "Graduation."
