Getty Load of This: Halloween special 🎃
It’s been a minute! Welcome back to a long and overdue edition of Getty Load of This, a blog series where we trawl Getty Images and pay homage to old-school PR stunts. We’re doing things a bit differently this time; instead of flogging their wares per se, these well-known faces are indulging in a bit o’ fancy dress.
The Americans do it well (we’re looking at you, Heidi Klum) but we’re keeping it UK-based because…it’s generally more naff. Join us as we travel to Jonathan Ross’s annual spooktacular and a party thrown by…Mariah Carey?
Need some cossy-inspo? Enjoy!
