Halloween is the one time of year when we can all get away with being someone else for a day. Some people dress up as a ghost, goblin or their favorite Hollywood monster, while other's use the holiday as an excuse to dress in a ridiculous costume--or a ridiculously racy costume.
For the same reasons, celebrities capitalize on the day to do away with wearing lavish clothes and looking picture perfect to have some fun in the land of make believe. And, lucky for us, many of them have shared their weird, absurd and crazy costumes on social media for us to see!
Hence, we give you the top 10 celebrity Halloween costumes shared on Instagram.

Starting off the list by coming in at number 10 is Lea Michele who dressed up as a barmaid for Halloween. Although the "Glee" star didn't earn a lot of points for originality, she and her Halloween twin did a great job at coordinating.
