Jewish celebrities dressed up for Halloween and some of them crushed it with amazing costumes.

Matt Lauer made a pretty spectacular Dolly Parton, and even got a singing tutorial from the star herself. His fellow anchors also transformed into country stars, including Kenny Rogers, Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton.

Some stars were more political, including The Mindy Project star Ike Barinholtz, who went as ousted White House advisor Sebastian Gorka.

Gwyneth Paltrow spoofed her role in the movie Se7en, but beware – this costume should come with a spoiler alert!

Sarah Michelle Gellar and her husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. did their best impressions of Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer in the film Pretty in Pink.

Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley was a pretty convincing Professor Snape.

Continuing the Harry Potter theme, The Book of Mormon and Frozen star Josh Gad forwent an Olaf costume and opted for the boy wizard instead.

Celebs’ kids got in on the action too! Lifestyle guru and stylist Rachel Zoe’s adorable kids went as Jedi Knights.

The grand prize goes to Bruce Willis (with his assistant, Stephen J. Eads) who dressed as the twins from The Shining, and apparently, won 2017.
