Halloween is coming which means spooky costumes are back – if you’re still searching for inspo, then look to Gemma Chan who dressed as Pulp Fiction’s Mia Wallace, or Zhang Ziyi’s funky make-up

Hong Kong’s Elly Lam showed off her version of Alice in Wonderland, while Olivia Munn dressed as comedian Ali Wong and Pretty Little Liars’ Shay Mitchell was a corpse bride

With the spooky season just around the corner, many of us have been scouring the internet to find some Halloween-ready inspo to get into the spirit of the holiday.

Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram is always a good place to start, as the American model – who hails from Thai, German and Norwegian descent – has always managed to serve incredible fancy dress outfits in time for October.

From channelling her inner beauty pageant darling to dressing up as Queen Elizabeth, Teigen’s bold approach to Halloween could even be considered almost as daring as Heidi Klum.

Earlier this month, the mum-of-four and her husband John Legend shared a snippet into their celebrations by posting photos and videos of the Halloween decor set-up at their house.

So which other Asian celebs have rocked the best Halloween looks over the years?

Remember that Halloween when nearly everyone dressed as the red guards, in jumpsuits and masks, as seen in Netflix’s hit Korean TV show Squid Game?

Well, Blackpink’s Lisa, an avid fan of the production, opted for a different figure from the series. The K-pop rapper channelled the doll Young-hee from the Red Light, Green Light challenge instead, helping her stand out from the crowd – not that she needs any help with that, being one of the most followed Asian music stars on Instagram.
