Halsey as the Corpse Bride

Who can forget when Halsey turned herself into the title character from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride last year? This look was almost all blue with expert contouring and sunken eyes. We’re guessing she needed a ton of makeup wipes afterward.

Bella Hadid as Poison Ivy

Last year, Bella’s orange hair and makeup were undeniably striking. The color suits her so well that perhaps she should consider a permanent hair color change.
