TODAY Halloween 2026: See The Costume Reveals and Best Moments Live

Last year, Savannah, Craig, Jenna and Carson embarked on a road trip that took them from coast to coast, in the spirit of the 2025 Halloween theme TODAY’s Road Trip. And it was epic.

Along their travels, the group encountered a variety of special guests including Prince, Frankie Valli, Rocky Balboa and the queen herself: Beyoncé — sort of. Sheinelle, Al, Willie, Dylan and Laura, along with Peter Alexander, made the celebrity “cameos” happen and boy did they nail it!

If you missed last year’s big reveal, don’t worry! Check out the photos below for a roundup of all the costumes, starting with the team’s group photo on the TODAY plaza.

The first stop on TODAY’s road trip was New Jersey. And of course, that meant an appearance from The Four Seasons’ frontman, Frankie Valli, who was played by none other than Dylan.

She tells TODAY.com that last year’s costume was so authentic, people didn’t even recognize that she was, in fact, the TODAY meteorologist in the crooner’s get-up.

“I was standing next to people and I’m like, ‘Hi guys.’ And they just looked right through me,” she said. “So, that’s the sign of a good costume!”

The next stop on the road tour was Philadelphia, home to fictional boxing legend, Rocky Balboa. Doing a flawless impression of the “Yo, Adrian!” fighter was Carson. Dressed in Rocky’s classic grey sweatsuit and red headband, Carson channeled Sly Stallone right down to the “sweat” staining the front of his shirt.

Carson, er, Rocky, was joined by his arch enemy, Clubber Lang. Looking suspiciously like Mr. T, Al recreated Lang’s look, including his signature mohawk and feather earrings. Al, we pity the fool who ever tries to outdo you on this classic costume. Win or lose in the ring, you’re clearly the champ!

Without so much as a bathroom break, the crew continued on to sunny California where they reminisced over the iconic TV series, “Saved By the Bell.” Lo and behold, Lisa Turtle, aka Laura, appeared, sporting the character’s signature side pony and all.

Chatting on her ’90s brick cell phone, Laura even fielded a call from Mario Lopez who recreated his “SBTB” character, A.C. Slater.

From there, the gang headed to Sin City. Naturally, it’s impossible to visit Las Vegas without paying tribute to the great Wayne Newton. And that’s exactly what Willie did. Singing along to Newton’s hit “Danke Schoen,” the Sunday Sitdown host even got his own showgirl backup dancers.

Sure, Minnesota is nowhere near Las Vegas, but geography schmography! TODAY’s intrepid roadtrippers made a pitstop there anyway. While in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the crew remembered legendary music icon, Prince. Decked out from head to toe in Revolution attire, Craig performed a memorable rendition of the hit maker’s No. 1 song “Purple Rain.” After all, he only wanted, one time, to see us all laughing in the purple rain. Purple rain, purple rain …

After leaving Minnesota, the open road led the gang right to Texas, home of the Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé. However, the real queen last year was Sheinelle, who rode into the plaza on a white stead and gave a dazzling dance performance that rivaled that of the real-life chart topper! They might have not really been in Texas, but Sheinelle brought the house down, down, down.

From the Lonestar State it was straight on to Margaritaville, where Peter Alexander and his crew of parrotheads performed Jimmy Buffett’s classic slacker song. As for us, we’re still searching for our lost shaker of salt!

After an exhausting 10 minutes on “the road,” the team returned to New York City just in the nick of time for TODAY’s Halloween extravaganza, only to realize, they still needed costumes!

Who better to help than Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her “Devil Wears Prada” counterpart Miranda Priestley? Jenna and Savannah were up to the challenge and the pair showed off their haughty skills by doing what all self-respecting magazine editors do — they attended a fashion show, then performed a dance to Madonna’s “Vogue.”
