The Kardashian-Jenner family is known for their love of the holidays, especially Halloween, and Kim Kardashian is no exception during spooky season.

The fashion mogul’s bold sense of style has translated to her over-the-top costumes, with Kim often creating an original concept for her Halloween looks. In 2021, the star blended two classic costumes (a cowgirl and a robot) to form a futuristic “cowbot,” designed by one of her go-to labels, Mugler.

For as many costumes as Kim has created, she’s also inspired them. Her shocking look at the 2021 Met Gala (a Balenciaga ensemble that covered her entire body) was turned into a costume by online fashion retailer Yandy as a way for fans to recreate her infamous fashion moment.

From a sexy Victoria’s Secret Angel to a family-friendly bright pink spider, here’s a look back at some of Kim’s best Halloween costumes over the years.
