Black Celebrity Halloween Costumes 2010

Lauren is a former Deputy Editor of The Root.

Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O'Neal, with Hoops, his reality-star girlfriend, dressed as a character he calls Shaqueeta. Even better than seeing Shaq in a dress is seeing him lip-sync to Beyoncé while wearing a dress. He posted a video of his performance on Twitter over the weekend.

Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson sported a mustache and fedora and toted a prop cigar at Lanvin's Halloween extravaganza in New York City.

Dwyane Wade

Guess who? It's Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade as Justin Timberlake. Blackface is off limits — do you think "white face" should be, too?

Al Roker

Al Roker's Superman costume was meticulously detailed, right down to the superhero's signature hair.

Ciara and LaLa Vazquez

R&B singer Ciara, pictured with television personality LaLa Vazquez, also chose a comic-book character for her Halloween alter ego. X-Men's Storm works for her!
