When you think of Halloween costumes, many of us picture transforming into our favorite style icons, silver screen stars, or something scary for the night. Celebrities also get in on the action, attending soirées dressed to impress in their best Halloween getups.

Last year, Cindy Crawford and Amal Clooney were a knockout duo at the ’70s themed Casamigos Halloween Party which Crawford and her husband hosted. Kaia Gerber, of course in attendance, was hardly recognizable as a blonde while Kim Kardashian ditched her platinum locks to channel her number one style icon to a T.

We’re still counting down to Halloween but our favorite celebrities serve as some seriously killer costumes inspiration. Head below to see the best celebrity Halloween costumes from 2017.

Truth be told, you can learn just as much observing the various fashion weeks‘ attendees as you can the runway shows and presentations, and that’s precisely what we’ve been doing. More specifically, a big part of what we look for are the things the stylish attendees aren’t wearing anymore. We’ve noticed a major one at recent fashion weeks, which was only solidified by this NYFW.

While outerwear isn’t always the most common thing to see at the spring shows (it is still summer in New York, after all), there was a bit of a cool snap in NYC this week, and the fashion crowd immediately started wearing jackets when the temperatures fell into the 60s. One style that we’re seeing very few of? Leather moto jackets.

Now, before you immediately list yours on eBay, we’d be remiss not to point out that wearing an attention-getting look is key among the street style crowd. While leather jackets are and always will be a wardrobe staple, they’re a bit more basic than the fashion crowd demands, especially at an event like fashion week, where street style photographers are swarming.

So what are we seeing instead? Lots of oversize blazers in bold colors and plaid, reworked trench coats, faux fur, and animal prints. It all seems to be working in their favor, and we have the street style photos to prove it. Keep scrolling to see the trending styles and shop them for yourself.

Of course, if you still love your old faithful, not to worry. We have 10 outfits to wear with a leather jacket.

From the famous black-and-white checkerboard shoes to the iconic curved stripe on Old Skools, Vans sneakers are immediately recognizable—but the brand’s latest collaboration might throw you for a loop. Opening Ceremony updated two Vans shoes in a floral satin jacquard material, and the result is a cool new collection that everyone will be dying to get their hands on. 

Of course, Vans is no stranger to collaborations. Recently, the brand teamed up with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam on a line of painterly sneakers that sold out immediately. Vans also tapped a handful of artists to collaborate with Disney in honor of Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary.

When Prada re-released a version of its 2012 flame heels, we had a strong feeling they’d quickly become a cult sensation—but just how quickly, we were unsure. The heels were originally designed for Miuccia Prada’s S/S 12 “Women and Car Engines” show, but the 2018 versions are even more electric, in shades of neon and metallic brights (aka the recipe for Instagram fame). We saw the shoes pop up only once or twice back in August, but we couldn’t get them out of our minds. Now that NYFW and the whole of fashion month are upon us, the playful heels are really starting to take off. 

The new Flame Wedge Sandals feature flame cutouts tracing the back edge of the wedge with contrasting colors, making them instantly recognizable, the kind of It item that’s iconic from the get-go. From the first moment that the flames adorned Kendall Jenner’s heels to the full-on wildfire they’re igniting on the streets of NYC this week, we charted just how quickly the fire has spread.
