Halloween is right around the corner, and if you are still struggling to get the perfect costume (that's me), we have the best guide for you!
Instead of jumping into a cliche costume, these celebs chose to use their incognito moment to go fully pro-social. We hope these six Halloween costumes inspire you to think outside the box. Our in Nick Cannon's case, the milk carton.

Milk does a body good, and Nick helped spread that message as he dressed up as a milk carton. Although you may laugh at how cheesy it seems, if you have kids it's a brilliant costume. Did you know milk contains 9 essential nutrients that help our health? Calcium, protein, potassium, phosphorus, Vitiman D, Vitamin B12, Vitmanin A, Riboflavin (B2), and Niacin! Unfortunately we can't say the same thing about Mariah's cookie costume.
+ Jessica Alba: Adventuring Feminist

A great Halloween outfit choice is always choosing your fave TV character, and Jessica Alba went with the ever-awesome Dora the Explorer. When going with a TV reference, think about the character behind the costume --- what does this person represent? For Dora, she stands for diversity, adventures, and a strong leading female star. Ain't nothing cliche about that!
+ Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart: Peace Keepers

Oh my, what hotties these two are! Last Halloween, we saw Jennifer and Casper step out as hippies in a colorful outing in Germany, while Jenny From The Block was on her world tour. Their costume embodied the message of love, peace, and a whole lot of sexy! Stop stressing so much about your costume, and realize that Love Is Louder than those voices telling you otherwise. Embrace your inner hippie this Halloween!
+ Darren Criss: Scout Of Honor

With Glee back on TV, I can't help but discuss Darren's outfit last year! As he attended Matthew Morrison's Halloween bash, paparazzi photographed him entering as the cutest boy scout everrr! The Boy Scouts of America have made major strides this year regarding LGBTQ rights, and while Darren's costume is a little more Wes Anderson than Eagle Scout, we still love it. Dress up as a boy scout and show your appreciation! Or be like Madonna and keep the conversation going.
+ Beyonce: The Bees Knees

Dressing up as your favorite animal is always a great choice for Halloween. In 2011, a pregnant Queen B stepped out in New York dressed as a lovely bee. Did you know in 2012 nearly a third of honeybees in America died out? That is some news the Beyhive should not be celebrating!
+ Lucy Hale: Proud Unicorn

Lucy hale's costume may be my fave one EVER. She was photographed as a... *drum roll* rainbow unicorn! Often times a rainbow is a symbol of the LGBTQ community, so supporting LGBTQ issues this Halloween is always a great option. Did you know nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT teens have reported being bullied in school? Pretty scary! Lucy Hale opened up to Seventeen Magazine about bullying revealing, "My mom always told me growing up that anyone who is rude, mean, or bullying someone is dealing with their own battle at home or internally."
