’Tis the season to unleash your inner monster as we fall into the spookiest time of the year. From spine-chilling soirées in LA to costume extravaganzas in NYC, this year’s top Halloween parties are being rounded up by Vogue.
Starting out East, the festivities began with a late-night séance at Hulaween: Garden of Good and Evil, the annual party hosted by the Queen of Hocus Pocus herself, Bette Midler. In honor of the New York Restoration Project’s 28th annual gala, it was a night to remember, celebrating another year of the nonprofit’s transformative cleaning and greening efforts across New York City. The highlight? Midler sang to Robert De Niro as she honored the actor, producer, and director with the “Wind Beneath My Wings” Award.
Out West, Janelle Monae is set to host a star-studded bash dubbed WondaWeen and, in celebration of Día de Muertos, celebrity photographer Carlos Eric Lopez is hosting his fourth annual gala honoring Eva Longoria and Anthony Ramos.
Stay tuned as we continue to sink our fangs into the season’s most coveted invites.

M·A·C Cosmetics Hex Halloween Party
M·A·C Cosmetics conjured a spellbinding Halloween party. Guests were greeted by a maze of enchanting decor–equal parts eerie and entrancing–as they made their way through New York City’s historic National Arts Club, where superstitions ruled the night.
DJs Odalys and Sky Jetta spun otherworldly beats, setting the perfect sonic backdrop for the night’s surprise: a hairraising set by Yves Tumor. The crowd? A coven of visionary creatives. Lourdes Leon turned heads with her killer dark glam, while Amanda Lepore glided through the crowd in an iconic lingerie number. The Clermont Twins brought their signature edge, and Quinn Wilson kept it effortlessly cool with an unearthly ensemble that left everyone bewitched. Alex Consani and Francesca Scorsese added just the right dose of spooky, mingling with the crowd of New York’s artistic underworld.
It was a night where luck and legend collided, leaving everyone just slightly more charmed (and maybe just a little hexed) than when they arrived.
