Niecy Nash sits at the center of GO Magazine’s roundup of 23 lesbian and sapphic celebrity Halloween costumes, a compact holiday snapshot built around looks that ran from the hilarious to the sexy to the terrifying. The list also shows how quickly a costume post can turn into a mini industry record when one roundup gathers 23 separate celebrity takes.
The sharpest entry belongs to Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird, who dressed as Law Roach for Halloween and posted the line “i’m law she’s roach.” That quote does more than sell the costume; it tells readers the pair were working as a duo, not as two isolated celebrity posts.
Rapp and Bird set the tone
Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird’s couples costume is the most readable item in the roundup because it turns a single joke into a shared visual gag. The caption makes the assignment plain, and the pairing gives the list a strong opening image before it widens out to the rest of the celebrity looks.
Janelle Monáe dressed as Phish Boy for Halloween, Keke Palmer went as a Victoria's Secret Angel, and Kali Uchis chose Alice from Closer for Halloween. Slayyyter dressed as Cynthia Wood in APOCALYPSE NOW for Halloween, while Quenlin Blackwell went as Eartha Kitt for Halloween and Tinashe dressed as 1mg of Melatonin for Halloween.
Monáe, Palmer, and Uchis
UMI dressed as Janet Jackson for Halloween, Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone went as Ellen DeGeneres and Dakota Johnson for Halloween, and Ice Spice chose Patrick Star for Halloween. Cobrah took Johnny Bravo for Halloween, which keeps the roundup moving from reference-heavy looks to more character-driven ones without losing the sapphic framing that GO Magazine used to shape the piece.
The roundup is not a single uniform event, and that is part of its value. The costumes mix individual posts, a concert appearance, and a show in Las Vegas, so readers are seeing a curated holiday collage rather than a single room or one coordinated shoot.
Doja Cat and KATSEYE
KATSEYE dressed as heroes and villains from DC Comics at a recent concert for Halloween, which broadens the roundup beyond static photos and into stage-facing costume work. Doja Cat dressed as Pinkie Pie for Halloween and for her TourMaVie show in Las Vegas, giving the list one look that crossed from social post to live performance.
That split matters because the roundup is really a filter on what GO Magazine chose to elevate from a crowded holiday feed: one set of 23 costumes, one editorial frame, and a narrow read on how lesbian and sapphic celebrities turned Halloween into content. The unanswered question is simple: what criteria decided which looks made the final 23.
