Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Blue Ivy Carter have officially entered the Hollywood family-Halloween-costume arena, and they’re making waves with their incredible ensemble. For years, Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka, and their twins have reigned supreme in the costume game, but the Carter-Knowles family is giving them a run for their money this year.
While the Harris-Burtkas opted for a classic Star Wars theme, with Harper donning the role of Princess Leia, the Carter-Knowles trio took inspiration from the beloved 1988 comedy Coming to America. Jay Z transformed into Prince Akeem, Beyoncé embodied Queen Aoleon, and Blue Ivy stole the show as Imani Izzi.
This marks the first time Jay Z has joined in the family Halloween festivities, making it an unforgettable full-family affair. Beyoncé’s Met Gala appearance earlier this year likely influenced Blue Ivy’s costume choice, drawing comparisons to the iconic character from Coming to America.
The question remains: Who did Halloween better? The Harris-Burtkas or the Carter-Knowles family? With both families embracing the nostalgia factor, it’s a tough call. However, if this marks the beginning of an annual tradition of escalating Halloween costume wars between these two powerhouse families, then one thing’s for sure — we’re all winners.
