This is seriously PERFECT.

Bella Hadid and The Weeknd

And they are Lydia and Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice, and that's extremely cool.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

These are also excellent Princess Bride costumes; I hope NPH didn't gt cranky at people saying "as you wish" to him all night. I also hope they reinacted the "I'm not left-handed" battle in the middle of the party at some point.

Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz

This is Heidi and her boyfriend; it's Heidi's party and she generally goes ALL OUT for Halloween. This costume is, obviously, technically extremely well constructed. But Shrek to me feels like a sort of dated reference as a costume for a person who is usually extremely clever on Halloween? Maybe one of her kids is SUPER into it right now.

Marc Jacobs and Bette Midler

Herein, Marc Jacobs is allegedly "a 95 year old version of himself." I hope this is also what Bette will be wearing when SHE is 95.

Al Roker, Dylan Dreyer

The Today Show always goes ALL OUT for its costumes; this one, obviously, is my density.

Craig Melvin

Clearly, the theme this year was 80s movies/celebrities. I wonder how far in advance the costume people have to start on these.

Jenna Bush Hager, Peter Alexander

Jenna Bush Hager opting to be Goose in this scenario makes me like Jenna Bush Hager.

Sheinelle Marie Jones

Sheinelle could wear this dress to parties later, honestly. It looks great on her!

Willie Geist

Willie Geist actually makes a super good Ferris Bueller

Carson Daly

I have no idea how Carson Daly is. I thought he was Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club but the outfit is wrong. Is he...Bruce Springsteen? I need help for this one.

Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Kathie Lee Gifford

Hoda makes a cute Elton John; there is some kind of inception involved in Kathie Lee being Madonna being Marilyn. (I assume Savannah is Cyndi Lauper.)

Deborah Gibson

I decided Debbie is just being her younger self.

Kat Graham

KAT GRAHAM! Who knew you could do this?!

David Walliams

This is Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon, right? I GOT ONE!

David Tennant

You SAY this is David Tennant, but how can we KNOW

Chris O'Dowd, Dawn O'Porter

Your classic romantic couples costume, obvs.

Stephen Merchant

His tweet said, "Giving Cumberbatch a run for his money." BENEDICTO, come out next year dressed as Stephen Merchant!

Carla Gugino

Carla's got to be in costume as Liza in Caberet under there, right?

Michiel Huisman

Zombie Mr. Bates, that's my costume this year too!

Questlove

I appreciate Questlove's identifying fin.

Padma Lakshmi

This is a good Black Swan!

Zac Posen

Also a very good Willy Wonka.

Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin

I have no idea what these youngsters are. This is why I'm the creaky middle-aged lady asking kids at the door what their costumes are. I literally read on the interwebs that they are "as Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z, and Gaara from Naturo" and that's just...incomprehensible to me.
