Halloween might be over for another year, but the costumes continue to roll in – and they certainly did not disappoint. This year, it appears as though most celebrities turned a blind eye to the scary element, and instead cosplayed as fellow A-listers with a swarm of Britney's and David Beckhams taking over social media feeds. Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne took it one step further and dressed as Kanye West and Bianca Censori and her infamous 'pillow outfit'. The Kardashian clan also took part in the Halloween festivities, with several looks across the family. One in particular saw has since drawn backlash online when Khloe and Kim Kardashian dressed as Bratz dolls along with their two friends. Fans flooded the string of photos with praise for their efforts. However, it didn't take long before others chimed in accusing Khloe of 'blackfishing,' a term used to describe "white public figures, influencers and the like do everything in their power to appear Black." "Damn I thought that Kim posted it and I didn’t recognize Khloe lol," one wrote, while another added: "I love u khloebut this ain’t it! U didn’t have to become darker to be a Bratz doll". A third said: "Ooooooh the black fishing in this one is out of control". Meanwhile, others made comparisons to Jesy Nelson. "Thought this was Jessy Nelson," one Instagrammer penned. "Pls I thought this was that one girl from Little Mix," a second shared. It comes after sister Kylie Jenner released her very own Bratz doll earlier this year – which was also blasted by fans for "darkening" the skin tone. On 1 August, the famed doll company announced its first-ever celeb collaboration with six versions of Jenner's iconic looks. One of which features her 2019 Met Gala Versace dress.

Hi, it’s Lisa, your Pursuits correspondent in Dubai. We’re heading into a bustling few months in the Gulf,

'Today's beloved meteorologist Al Roker made major changes to his usual weather segment on the occasion of Halloween

View it as a treat or an overhyped trick, there's no escaping it: Halloween is almost upon us. Yes, it's time for that annual celebration of trying to outdo everyone else with an elaborate costume which has absolutely nothing to do with All Hallows' Eve. This year certainly hasn't been short of inspiration for anyone looking to make a statement. Maybe you could go dressed as the 'Barbenheimer' meme? Or Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? If you aren't that into pop culture you could always buy a more offbeat outfit (spaghetti and meatballs, anyone?) Still, if none of the above tickles your fancy, you can at least feast your eyes on the latest celebrity offerings. The likes of Heidi Klum, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and many, many others go above and beyond in their efforts to put on the best possible display for their fans.

Foreign tourists wanting to replicate the looks of their favorite K-pop stars and South Korean actors have helped

The most spooktacular time of the year is here but – as exciting as Halloween is – shockingly, a whopping 18,000 tons of pumpkin goes to waste every year in the UK. That’s the same weight as 1,500 double-decker buses, which is pretty frightening. Pumpkin isn’t just for making spooky faces out of on Halloween, though – not only are they delicious in a wide range of recipes, but did you know pumpkins also have a whole number of health benefits too? Pumpkins are packed with health benefits. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and fibre, this versatile vegetable is really good for eye, gut and heart health, and that’s just the flesh! Pumpkin seeds are a great source of good fats, iron and B vitamins – all important nutrients that support heart, muscle, skin, nervous system and immune health. If you eat enough of them, the seeds are also a good source of protein and fibre – both of which help to regulate blood sugar. Ready to enjoy some yummy pumpkin goodness this Halloween? From classic soup to fancy fondue, here are four recipes that are to die for. Hearty pumpkin soup Serves: 4 Ingredients: 3 cups of pumpkin/vegetable/chicken stock 500g pumpkin puree Large knob of butter 1 chopped onion 2 chopped carrots 1 finely chopped garlic clove 1 cup of cream ½ tsp chopped thyme, salt and pepper Method: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, then add the garlic, onion, carrots, thyme and a pinch of salt and cook for 5-8 minutes or until softened. When cooked, transfer to a food processor and blitz together with the pumpkin puree until smooth, then return to the saucepan, add in the stock. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to very low and add the cream and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Season to taste and serve. Pumpkin ravioli with sage butter Serves: 4 Ingredients: 4 eggs 400g “00” pasta flour 4 tsp olive oil 350g roast pumpkin flesh 100g grated parmesan 15g fresh sage 75g butter Salt and pepper Method: For pumpkin filling: Add the roast pumpkin, grated parmesan and a big pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor and blitz until smooth. For the ravioli: Add the eggs, pasta flour and olive oil to a food processor and blitz until a crumbly mixture forms. Knead the mixture for 10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic, then wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest for 20 minutes. When ready, cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll out into thin pasta sheets (approx 2mm). On one sheet, spoon out a couple of teaspoons of filling every few inches, then brush around each mound of filling with water, place the second sheet on top and cut around each mound with a sharp knife. Crimp the edges of each to seal them. Repeat until all the filling or pasta sheets have been used up, then add the ravioli to a pot of boiling water for 3 minutes or until they float to the top of the water. For the sage butter: Heat the butter in a frying pan until melted and foaming, then add the sage leaves and cook until the leaves crisp up and the butter browns. Season to taste, and drizzle over the cooked ravioli. Pumpkin pickle Ingredients: 500g pumpkin 1 red onion 2 garlic cloves 1 red chilli 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds 1 tsp turmeric 15g knob of ginger 250ml cider vinegar 250ml castor sugar 1 tsp nigella seeds Method: Peel and slice the onions, garlic and ginger. Peel and chop the pumpkin into small bite-size pieces. De-seed and finely chop the red chillies. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of oil and cook the onion, ginger and chilli for 10-12 min or until softened. Add the mustard seeds, garlic, and turmeric and cook for 1 min. Add the pumpkin, sugar, cider vinegar & a splash of water and cook for 8 min or until the pumpkin has softened and the pickle has thickened. Season with a pinch of salt, sprinkle in the nigella seeds and transfer the mixture to sterilised jars. Pumpkin fondue Ingredients: 1 whole mid-large sized pumpkin 300g of grated mixed cheeses (traditionally gruyere, Emmental and cheddar) 2 tsp cornflour A peeled garlic clove A few glugs of white wine Method: Cut the top off the pumpkin and scrape out the fibrous strands and seeds, then replace the lid and bake in the oven at 180C/160C fan for 1 hr to 1hr 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin flesh is cooked. Meanwhile, mix the cornflour with the grated cheese until it has fully coated the gratings. When the pumpkin has mostly cooked, remove from the oven, take off the lid and place the grated cheese, white wine and garlic clove inside, giving it a mix to combine. Increase the oven temperature a little higher and bake for a further 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling away. When cooked, remove from the oven and serve with bread or crudites for dipping.
