Halloween took over daytime TV this year as America's favorite morning talk show hosts went all out to celebrate the ghost season. From Jennifer Hudson's disco-inspired transformation to Sherri Shepherd's four costume changes and Tamron Hall's hilarious tribute to reality dating shows, each star brought their own unique twist to October 31.
Jennifer Hudson channeled her inner '70s diva for Halloween.

Jennifer Hudson took a time travel machine back to the 70s during The Jennifer Hudson Shows annual Halloween special, which aired on October 31. Keeping with tradition, the EGOT winner, 44, transformed into a 70s diva for this year's soulful celebration, complete with original Soul Train dancers, a guest appearance by Megan Thee Stallionand a groovy dance portal Spirit Tunnel.
Hudson's dazzling costume was incredible: a shimmering lilac metallic trench coat with hot pink feathers, bold earrings, beautiful makeup, completed with voluminous hair. Underneath the coat, she rocked a shimmering silver suit, paired with a crystal embroidered top. Her crew also embraced the theme with vintage-inspired bell-bottoms and bright retro flair.
Adding to the fun, Megan Thee Stallion, 30, stopped by the show to talk about all things “Hottieeen.” The Grammy-winning rapper dazzled in a cheetah-print dress and matching choker, bringing fierce party energy to the stage. She and Hudson chatted about her latest track “Lover Girl,” her journey to a time filled with love, her bond with Queen Latifah — including a memorable Coachella moment — and her dream of getting into acting.
Megan also gave fans a glimpse of her tequila brand, Chicas Divertidas, which will hit shelves soon.
Hit the flip to see more costumes from Sherri Shepherd and Tamron Hall.
Sherri Shepherd made four stunning costume changes for her Halloween takeover special.

Over to SHERRIhost Sherri Shepherd made not one, but four costume changes for her Halloween takeover episode. She opened the show as Morticia Addams, inspired by Catherine Zeta-Jones' portrayal of Wednesday. Made with seamstress Ana Toval, the dress features five yards of black stretch velvet, hand-beaded lace trim, and a semi-sweetheart neckline. Sherri completed the look with a 40-inch jet-black wig, pale complexion, and dark, dramatic makeup – portraying Morticia flawlessly.
Next, she channeled Steve Urkel out Family Matters.

She then turned up the heat like a Love Island bombshell, rocking an asymmetrical one-piece swimsuit, mesh sarong, and sun-kissed curls.

Finally, she ended the show in full vintage fantasy as Jeannie from the 1965 show I dream of Jeannie, wearing a custom Todd Fisher New York design: a velvet vest, pink chiffon pants, and a pleated bra top, paired with color-matched Sergio Rossi heels and a perfectly sculpted high bun.

Tamron Hall paid tribute to some of America's iconic dating shows.
Tamron Hallmeanwhile, declared that “nothing is scarier than a first date.” The two-time Emmy winner leans into that theme by parodying iconic dating shows from the decade, and dressing up as their male hosts.
In The Tamron Hall Shows 31 October episode, she spoofed The Dating Game, Love Connectionand Taste of love with an array of fake facial hair and nostalgic flair.
“I didn't know facial hair was so problematic. Believe it or not, it was easier being a pregnant Cardi B,” Hall kidding PEOPLE. “We were tearing off mustaches and sickening! It took me back to my waking days!”
Like “Reggie Romance” from The Spooky Dating GameHall sported a bouncy afro and '70s flower power vibes. Then, as “Lenny Lovebird” out Love Potion Connectionshe portrayed 1983 in a pumpkin-colored suit and thick mustache, channel Love Connection's iconic host Chuck Woolery.
She later faced off against musical guest Kwamé Holland, who appeared as himself opposite Hall dressed as his 90s alter ego. And for their grand finale, “T-Flav” fan Taste of FrightHall wore Flavor Flav's signature bell and hosted a cake decorating contest, along with none other than reality TV icon Tiffany Pollard, who was famous on Taste of love in the early 2000s.
This Halloween, these mighty hosts proved that no one brings creativity, humor and star power to a spooky season quite like the leading ladies of daytime TV.
