Adele transformed into creepy clown for Halloween

Adele looked spookily good as she dressed up as a quirky jester for Halloween.

The chart-topping singer posted a photograph on social media showing she went all out for the scary event, with messy, backcombed curls, dramatic black eye make-up and plenty of silver glitter.

Completing the offbeat look was Adele’s long glittering green dress, with gold detailing at the neck.

The star captioned the shot “Happy Early Halloween & Happy Birthday Gorgeous,” although it was not clear who she was referring to.

She later added a close-up of her made-up face, writing: “Also I can’t with this hair and make up.”

Dozens of celebrities dressed up in their spookiest finery over the weekend.

Kim Kardashian picked music icons as her theme, and she and her sister Kourtney transformed themselves into Madonna and late King of Pop Michael Jackson.

Reality star Kim showed off a variety of looks, also posing as late R&B star Aaliyah, and Cher, with her friend Jonathan Cheban as Sonny.

Game Of Thrones proved to be popular for inspiration, with several celebrities channelling their favourite characters from the fantasy drama.

Singer Jason Derulo dressed as the Night King for a party and Millie Mackintosh turned herself into Daenerys for the evening.

Johnson stepped out for an event in a midriff-flashing top and tiny shorts, echoing what Spears wore when she performed I’m A Slave 4 U at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2001.
