A host of celebrities have already dressed up in their best costumes, from gothic glamour to pop-culture parodies, for Halloween 2025…
Although Halloween is the spookiest night of the year, Instagram was the subject of the Instagram runway show this year. The stars ensured that the spooky season 2025 was one of the most stylish yet, with gothic glamour, pop-culture tributes, and numerous jaw-dropping transformations.
Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing, who demonstrated that a pair who dress together can live together, were in charge. Fans were enthralled when the former Made in Chelsea duo switched to tongue-in-cheek costume duo Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, who had fans glued to their costumes.
With a theatrical take on classic horror, Paloma Faith incorporated her signature eccentricity, bringing couture to life with Creature Feature. Over the weekend, party queen Paris Hilton served not one but two looks, including a glittery adaptation of Tinkerbell and Madonna, a popular fairytale. Naturally, each outfit featured full glam, sparkling wings, and her signature “That’s hot” attitude.
In their posed as Wicked, Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts were the epitome of Halloween bombshells. Jade Thirlwall, Cara Delevingne, and Love Island host Maya Jama were also present.
Prunella Scales, the star of Fawlty Towers, passed away on Monday at the age of 93, along with All Creatures Great and Small star Samuel West, both of whom remembers their most recent conversation.

In 1999, Prunella Scales, Sam West, his mother, and his father, Timothy West, were together.
Prunella Scales’s son, Samuel West, has opened up about his mum’s final years battling dementia, revealing that their last ‘proper conversation’ took place two years ago. Despite her health decline, she was able to have a chat with Queen Camilla last year, but Samuel noted that her ability to communicate deteriorated significantly afterwards, making it difficult for him to converse with her properly.
Prunella died on Monday at the age of 93, less than a year after the death of her husband, the iconic actor Timothy West, who was 90. She first experienced memory issues in 2001, but it wasn’t until 2012 that she was diagnosed with her specific type of vascular dementia.
Three years ago, the Fawlty Towers legend celebrated her 90th birthday at her home in south-west London by enjoying Sam’s 6,500 birthday greetings.
Her eldest son, who was only two days away from her death, recalled a day when she celebrated her 90th birthday in an interview that was conducted just two weeks before her passing. A lovely poem was written by my brother.
Speaking on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth, Sam continued: “I put out a message on Twitter a few days before saying, ‘My mum’s going to be 90, anyone who wants to send her a message I’ll make sure she gets it.’”
“I bound a book of responses that came in at 6,500.” She flicked through the 110-page book, which she enjoyed and wouldn’t recall, of course, now that they have removed everything but the messages.
However, it was actually quite beautiful at the time. How old am I when she asked me a question a few years ago, and we had the last genuine conversation. And I said ‘ You’re 91 mum’. And she said ‘ 91? F*ck. ‘ beautifully timed and beautifully enunciated. Although the conversation we had was not entirely finished, it might well have been the last to have any real significance.
Nevertheless, Gyles disclosed that at a function he organised last year, which Queen Camilla attended, the severity of Prunella’s condition wasn’t apparent to onlookers. The gathering took place in Rye, East Sussex, at E. F. Benson’s former residence – the author behind the Mapp and Lucia tales that were later televised with Prunella featuring in the original adaptation.
Gyles recalled that “Queen Camilla arrived, and what was interesting was that your mother appeared to recognize her.” They undoubtedly had a happy chat and two kisses, and she laughed at the jokes if you hadn’t known.
Sam revealed that despite his mother’s 90-year-old father’s passing last November, she still managed outings and continued to sleep upstairs at home after the addition of a stairlift. Sam’s mother needed round-the-clock care and had lost her actor husband Timothy West.
She explained that she only recently saw my eight-year-old sing at St. James’s Piccadilly, the same church where my father’s memorial was. And the photos I have of them together clearly show how much they both enjoy each other’s company.
She’s never really been angry or anxious, as a dementia sufferer, he continued. She seems to be quite content, which is unusual considering the possibility is that it could be worse. We have been able to purchase medication that stops the disease’s progression for nearly 25 years because of our stable finances.
“My father’s loss of his best friend and her loss of humor are the hardest things,” my father said. They were constantly able to laugh at one another. My parents’ marriage resulted in two significant blessings. They each worked roughly the same amount of time, and they each had the same length of unpaid work.
According to a statement from her sons Samuel and Joseph, the beloved actress passed away “peacefully at home in London” after watching Fawlty Towers the day before her passing.
She continued to live at home, even though dementia forced her to retire from a remarkable acting career that spanned nearly 70 years. Pru and Timothy West were 61 years apart. In November of this year, 2024, he passed away. She is also survived by four great-grandchildren, seven grandchildren, and two stepdaughters.
“We would like to thank everyone who assisted Pru in ensuring that she spent her final days peacefully, lovingly, and surrounded by love.”

This year marked 50 years since the storied comedy show’s debut season, when Fawlty Towers won the Bafta for best scripted comedy in 1976. The late Andrew Sachs played the bumbling Spanish waiter Manuel in the series, and Connie Booth, the show’s maid, played Polly.
We’ve tried out this beauty editor-loved professional nail polish brand’s new builder gel polish and are so pleased with the end result.

I put this new builder gel to the test(Image: Laura Mulley)
You’ll almost certainly have heard of “builder gel” manicures if you regularly get your nails done. Builder gel claims to have a stronger, longer-lasting finish than regular gel polish, which is a plus for those who want (and are struggling) to grow their own natural nails long, and is frequently also referred to as “BIAB” (incorrectly, BIAB is the name of the nail brand’s builder gel).
However, builder gel is never really appealing to me. My preferred length is for short nails, which can look chunky and weird because of the typically thicker finish than “normal” gel polish. I’ve always found that removing builder gel yourself, without access to an e-file, takes a lot more time and effort than it does removing it at home (this is how to make the process as quick and as easy as possible).
However, Bio Sculpture, a professional polish brand, has just released its first ever color builder gel due to customer demand. I went to the brand’s new treatment space in Selfridges to try them out for myself, which completely changed my opinion of builder manis because I’m already a huge fan of the brand (I’m actually trained in Bio Sculpture manicures).
Firstly, Bio Sculpture was the only company that could create a “builder” effect in the past. The brand has a wide range of base coats to suit all nail types, with some even launching Builder Gel Base earlier this year.
This is the first time color builder gels have been made, and they are HEMA-free, available in 10 flattering nude shades. They are designed to be applied directly to the base coat (Bio Sculpture suggests that your nail tech use the Flex base), significantly streamlining the procedure.
My technician uses a fine nail art brush to evenly distribute the product over the nail while applying these Color Builder Gels, which have a shorter brush than most (they’re also self-levelling), and they apply them as one coat rather than two. Another plus is that the cure time is only 30-seconds.
I chose Dream, a creamy, neutral pink, because all of the ten shades are very flattering and right up my alley (I always go for a nude). I could tell immediately how much stronger they felt compared to regular gel polish because it was smooth, glossy, and not bulky.
Ten days later, they still appear strong, durable, and with no indication of any signs of chip or lift, despite the fact that nail growth is beginning to appear at the base.
The ease with which these new builder gels appear is another factor that makes me so impressed. Although I’m not yet ready to remove mine, I’ve seen videos of the removal process on nail technicians’ Instagram accounts where the polish simply flakes off without hurting the nail itself (something I already adore about Bio Sculpture gel polishes).

Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore have put on a cosy display in an awkward recreation of historic Angelina Jolie pictures. The pair of actors got very close as they appeared on the red carpet together this week.
On Thursday, the two of them made an appearance at the Landman premiere in Los Angeles. From 2000 to 2003, Billie and Angelina Jolie were married for three years.
The former couple was well-known for showing affection at gatherings together. The pair frequently posed for selfies, with Billy always resting his tender arm around Angelina’s torso.

Since Billy and Connie Angland’s marriage didn’t work out, they are now married. On the red carpet, Billy had Demi as his arms wrapped around her.
They both attended the event to watch the Paramount+ show, and they are co-starring in Landman. Billy has already tied the knot six times throughout her marriage.
Additionally, he has three female children. The actor and Melissa Lee Gatlin had a daughter Amanda when they first got married in 1978.
His marriage to actress Toni Lawrence ended in 1986, but they broke up the following year and divorced in 1988. He married actress Cynda Williams from 1990 to 1992. Then, in 1993, Billy and Playboy model Pietra Dawn Cherniak were married. In 1997, the marriage ended.
The actress dated Laura Dern from 1997 until 1999 before getting married to Angelina in 2000. They divorced the following year and split in June 2002. In 2003, Billy continued to have a relationship with his current wife. While they were an item, he has previously claimed that he “never felt good enough for Angelina.”
Due to their contentious relationship, Angelina and Billy frequently made headlines during their relationship. They both once wore blood from each other around their necks at one point. Billy told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2014, “It was a crazy time. It’s never a good thing to me.
We were a lot of friends because she started making Tomb Raider and I started Monster’s Ball, he added. She thought it would be romantic and interesting if we slit these lockets with a small razor blade, smeared some blood on them, and wore them as baby hair on one for your son or daughter.

We were dangling blood around our necks from that, according to the statement. And we were a dungeon dweller and vampires.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell has confessed “I’m so upset” as she updated fans on her pregnancy journey.
The 36 year old Aussie dancer is expecting her first child with former Strictly partner and YouTuber Joe Sugg, with the couple preparing to welcome a baby boy next year.
This impending arrival has already brought about significant changes, with Dianne confessing to last year’s Glitter Ball winner Chris McCausland that she’s struggling to fit into her clothes.
She lamented: “Honestly Chris, I can’t fit into any of my jeans,” during their podcast Winning Isn’t Everything. I’m so angry. I even went to the stores yesterday because I needed to feel happy and purchase some clothes that fit. ‘
“And I just didn’t even have it in me and I was like: ‘None of this stuff is doing it for me,'” reports Wales Online.
I tried on some bits, and I was gutted. I thought I should go for a size up. In the end, I never purchased anything. When I returned, Joe asked, “What did you buy?” I said, “I bought nothing,” I was like. ‘”
Dianne and Joe, 34, first crossed paths when they were paired together on the BBC reality show in 2018, finishing as runners up to Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton.
The overjoyed pair announced their pregnancy news via an Instagram post back in September, writing: “Our little baby boy [heart emoji] we cannot wait to meet you.”
As she revealed that the little one “kicks a lot,” Dianne admitted that she is “definitely getting bigger.”
He will eventually play football, she said. Or, for the record, one of the two, an Irish dancer? He kicks a lot, loves life, and is only getting bigger.
He just seems to be coming out massive, I believe. Why, I have no idea. “
Then, comedian Chris came in and said, “And Joe is going to be like, “Who do we know that’s massive. ‘”
What’s happening here, Dianne responded. I don’t know why, but I just feel this way. He just seems to be coming out like a big heffer, in my opinion. “
The professional dancer departed Strictly earlier this month after her celebrity partner, Neighbours star Stefan Dennis, suffered a torn calf muscle during their routine the preceding Saturday.
Despite having more free time to spend and expecting a baby, Dianne insists she won’t be relaxing.
Chris inquired as to whether she is “a little pleased” that her dancing has finished. “No! “, she replied. Actually, I’m not. I’ve said before that I shouldn’t be chilling out because I’m not. And I’m going to turn this over to my parents, right.

I don’t have the ability to relax. I’ve already gone to the gym this morning, and I’ve already done it because I have to.
Because my parents were such active people, they would frequently clean up or do this or that when I was younger.

Millie Grace Court was a hit with her fans.
Love Island 2021 winner, Millie Grace Court, certainly made a statement when she arrived at a London Halloween bash on Wednesday night [October 29th] dressed as a Meatball Marinara Sub.
The reality star swapped glitz and glamour for a culinary-themed costume, featuring Subway’s signature meatballs, spicy jalapeños, red peppers and red onion.
Plunge Creations, the creative minds behind The Masked Singer, created the bespoke sandwich outfit. Even their signature sauce, a layer of “melted cheese,” and textured details were included.
A mini Meatball Marinara Sub handbag, sparkly lettuce shoes, and a custom packaging train completed the ensemble.
Millie praised the creative use of the costume, saying, “Working with Subway to create this Halloween look has been iconic.”
Who wouldn’t want to wear a costume that honors their favorite Subway purchase, she continued?
The only day of the year when there is a perfect excuse to go all out is Halloween, according to this outfit.
Subway’s EMEA Senior Marketing Director Millie Elston also expressed her thoughts on the collaboration, saying, “Partnering with Subway superfan Millie to turn her favorite order into a Halloween costume has been very enjoyable.
