30 Iconic Musician Halloween Costume Ideas

30 Iconic Musician Halloween Costume Ideas

Choosing a Halloween costume is pretty much like choosing a new identity: it’s one night to be whoever you want, and what’s more fun than pretending you’re a famous musician? Of course you could go more current and channel Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” World Tour costumes, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, or Justin Bieber, but going back in time can be really exciting too — especially when it comes to paying homage to an iconic musician.

As far as musician Halloween costumes go, you’ll be in good company. In 2017, Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney channeled Madonna and Michael Jackson with spot-on looks, while both Demi Lovato and Kim went as Selena Quintanilla in 2017. Beyoncé herself has often favored famous musician costumes for Halloween, dressing up with Blue Ivy and Tina Knowles as Salt-N-Pepa in 2016 and going as Toni Braxton in 2018. Other stars have paid homage to legends like Amy Winehouse, Cher, or Prince. But you don’t have to be a celebrity in real life to choose to embody one on Halloween – that’s the beauty of the holiday, which allows you to become whoever you want, whether that’s a member of Kiss, Freddie Mercury, Aretha Franklin, or whatever musician you grew up loving.

If you’re thinking about taking a trip down memory lane, keep reading for our iconic musician costume inspiration!
