So to save you the pointless scrolling, here are some of the best celebrity Halloween costumes we’ve seen this year.
Janelle Monae appeared as ET the Extra-Terrestrial from the 1982 film, donning incredible prosthetics while appearing in the Halloween special of The Jennifer Hudson Show.

“It opens up a great conversation about how can we be ambassadors of happiness? How do we become ambassadors of happiness?

The 33-year-old also completed her look with an orange piece as a hat.
