What are you going to be for Halloween? Here are eight of my favorite costumes through the years, including Sophia Carpenter’s ferocious lions…

Our photographer friend Alpha Smoot was the perfect Annie Hall (and remember her casual NYC wedding)?

Loved these giraffes by Paul Lau and Julie Thrall.

Lettering artist Jessica Hische was a school picture with that iconic laser backdrop.

“This costume was so much fun to execute with my boyfriend,” Hunter Harris told us, “despite the fact that I really, really do not want The Bear’s Sydney and Carmy to date, and that famously my Bear crush is Richie.”

Illustrator Kiersten Essenpreis dressed her baby as Jerry Seinfeld’s Uncle Leo. She got the idea when she was still pregnant and thought, ‘If he’s still bald by Halloween, we’re doing it!’

My friend Leigh Belz’s daughter and her friend dressed up as Cher and Dionne from Clueless.

Finally, this year, I might put my spin on a Damian costume from Mean Girls. Such a pitch-perfect line.

What about you? And the kids in your life? Fourteen-year-old Toby says he might not dress up this year, when only yesterday he was a tiny Shrek!

P.S. Spooky Halloween snacks, and easy Halloween cupcakes.
