One celebrity who has exploded in viral popularity is the star of Jordan Peele’s hit movie Nope, Keke Palmer. Palmer certainly went all-out this year, serving up not one but two epic costume homages to some classic works of cinema.

In her first unveiling, Palmer revealed herself to be the Bride of Frankenstein, with her infant son (born February of this year) getting in on the act as Dr. Frankenstein. The costume quickly went viral for its details and the cuteness of the baby cosplay – but also because of the widespread phenomenon of fans mistaking the Bride of Frankenstein as rap star Nicki Minaj. To be fair, there is an undeniable resemblance between Palmer and Minaj when the former is in the monster makeup.

After serving up looks (and mistaken identity) with her Bride of Frankenstein look Palmer came back and hit fans again with a costume homage to Life-Size, the 2000 Disney television film starring Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan. As Palmer points out in her caption, Life-Size has become “A millennial FAVE,” since its release, and can rightly be called a cult classic. Like her other costume, Palmer got help from a young co-star to really sell the vision.
Check out some other great celebrity costumes from Halloween 2023:
Justin & Hailey Bieber Do Scary Movie
Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey arguably won the celeb Halloween costume challenge for 2023 with this shoot. It pays homage to both Wes Craven’s original Scream movie and the spoof of it done in the original Scary Movie comedy film by the Wayans Bros. Justin getting weird in a Ghostface costume and Hailey being just as much of a smoke show as Carmen Electra in Scary Movie makes this costume the perfect balance of fright and funny.
Kate Beckinsale as Barbarella & Pennywise
Kate Beckinsale mixed spooky and sexy into one fine witch’s brew for her looks as Jane Fonda’s Barbarella and Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King’s IT.
Mariah Carey as The Little Mermaid
Mariah Carey walks the classy/spicy line like no other with this Jessica Rabbit homage.
Adele as Morticia Addams
Pop-star sensation Adele looks stunning in Goth – as proven by her costume as Addams Family matriarch Morticia Addams.
Kim Kardashian As Clueless & Bratz Dollz
Kim Kardashian partnered with her daughter North to pay homage to Alicia Silvertone’s Cher and Stacey Dash’s Dionne (respectively) in Clueless.
Kim K then partnered with her sister Khloe, and celebs Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson for a Bratz Dollz costume showcase.
Demi Lovato as Snow White
Disney has a new Snow White movie to promote – so you know they were happy to see Demi Lovato getting attention for this costume.
Ice Spice as Betty Boop
One of the most “controversial” costumes was rapper Ice Spice as Betty Boop. She performed in a skirt that was… less than the traditional length.
Megan Fox and MGK as Kill Bill
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly got a lot of attention thrown their way for this Tarantino Kill Bill homage.
