Celebrities unveiled a mix of nostalgic and avant-garde costumes for Halloween 2026, ranging from Harry Styles recreating his 2010 X Factor audition to Kim Kardashian dressing as her daughter, North West. High-profile looks featured detailed prosthetics, family-themed ensembles, and tributes to pop icons like Britney Spears and Dolly Parton.

Kardashian and West Trade Identities
Kim Kardashian and her 13-year-old daughter, North West, engaged in a costume swap this year. Kardashian imitated North West’s punk-star aesthetic, utilizing faux dermal piercings, spiky jewelry, charm-studded black nails, and pin-straight teal blue hair.
North West’s transformations were varied. She first appeared as Natalie Nunn, featuring a prosthetic chin, a slick-black bob, and a “Baddie” chain necklace. She later dressed as Raven from Teen Titans and the virtual Japanese singer Hatsune Miku, and eventually as Edward Scissorhands, complete with a leather straitjacket-style dress, combat boots, a scarred face, and blades for fingers.
The exchange extended to Natalie Nunn herself, who dressed as North West.
Paris Hilton’s Britney Spears Tradition
Other stars also channeled Spears, including Winnie Harlow, who produced a choreographed video, and “Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi.
Hilton also coordinated multiple family costumes. In one set, she and her family dressed as characters from Beauty and the Beast
. A second ensemble saw the family as the Addams Family, with Hilton as Morticia, husband Carter Reum as Gomez, daughter London as Wednesday, and son Phoenix as Pugsley. Hilton captioned the family post, Mon chéri, we’re home
