And although she isn't a mother yet, when it comes to Halloween, Jepsen just can't resist getting creative with kids' costumes. From classics like The Giving Tree to newer hits like Jimmy Fallon's Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada, Jepsen drew inspiration from children's books and crafted some adorable DIY Halloween costumes.
