GO Magazine has published a roundup of 23 lesbian and sapphic celebrity Halloween costumes, and the sharpest image in it is Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird dressed as Law and Roach. The pairing gives the list its clearest headline moment: a playful costume post built around two recognizable names and a wink at celebrity fashion culture.

That is why people are looking at it now. Halloween content tends to move fast, but this one collects a wide set of looks in one place and turns them into a snapshot of how these celebrities chose to show up online. Among the costumes gathered in the roundup are Janelle Monáe as Phish Boy, Keke Palmer as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Kali Uchis as Alice from Closer, Slayyyter as Cynthia Wood in APOCALYPSE NOW, and Quenlin Blackwell as Eartha Kitt.

The spread keeps going from there. Tinashe appears as 1mg of Melatonin, UMI as Janet Jackson, Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone as Ellen DeGeneres and Dakota Johnson, Ice Spice as Patrick Star, Cobrah as Johnny Bravo, Doja Cat as Pinkie Pie, and KATSEYE as heroes and villains from DC Comics at a recent concert tied to Halloween. The range matters because it shows the roundup was not built around one style of costume; it moves from funny to sexy to spooky and, in some cases, outright theatrical.

What the list does not fully explain is the setting behind every post. The costumes are presented as celebratory Halloween content, but for several of them the exact in-person context is left out, which matters when social media images are doing the reporting. Even so, the roundup gives readers what they came for: a fast look at which sapphic celebrities used Halloween to make a very public style statement, with Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird at the center of the image that lingers longest.
