Halloween 2026: From Janhvi Kapoor to Orry, These Looks Stole the Show

Halloween 2026 wasn’t just about spooky costumes and dramatic makeup. It was about recreating iconic moments and revisiting beloved Bollywood characters. Moreover, it was about giving pop culture a creative twist. From Janhvi Kapoor paying tribute to her mother Sridevi to Priyanka Chopra embracing the King Kylie era, celebrities and digital creators went all out with their transformations. And while some chose nostalgia, others brought humour, creativity and a little internet chaos to the celebration.

Here are five Halloween looks that caught our attention this year.

Janhvi Kapoor Brings Back Sridevi’s Iconic Nagina Look

Janhvi Kapoor took the nostalgic route this Halloween and recreated her late mother Sridevi’s memorable look from the 1986 film Nagina. Dressed in a pink-and-white ensemble with traditional jewellery, dramatic eye makeup and a matching dupatta, Janhvi recreated the film’s iconic aesthetic with remarkable attention to detail.

The tribute went beyond the costume, with Orry and Vaishnav Praveen joining her to recreate moments associated with Rishi Kapoor and Amrish Puri from the film. The result was more than a Halloween transformation. It was a celebration of Bollywood nostalgia and one of Hindi cinema’s most recognisable stars.

Nick Jonas kept things classic with a cowboy costume, complete with a white hat, brown suede jacket and boots. Meanwhile, Malti Marie stole hearts as a little ghost princess in a flowing white costume, silver wig and heart-shaped sunglasses. The family turned three completely different costume ideas into one Halloween moment, with Priyanka calling the festive celebrations ‘Diwaloween’.

Rahul and Shailee Recreate Bhuvan and Gauri From Lagaan

Bollywood nostalgia continued as Rahul and Shailee recreated Bhuvan and Gauri, the beloved characters from the film Lagaan. The duo embraced the film’s traditional aesthetic. Shailee wore a yellow dupatta and ethnic ensemble, while Rahul completed his transformation with a sleeveless brown vest, white dhoti-style trousers and a yellow turban.

Their costumes brought a familiar cinematic pairing back into the spotlight. In a Halloween season filled with international pop culture references, the recreation was a reminder that Bollywood classics offer plenty of inspiration too.

Orry Channels Kim Kardashian’s North West-Inspired Look

Orry brought his signature unconventional style to Halloween with a layered pop culture reference. His costume recreated Kim Kardashian’s Halloween transformation into her daughter, North West. Sporting a long blue-green wig, a black outfit layered over striped sleeves, statement accessories and dramatic nails, Orry embraced the edgy aesthetic.

The reference was particularly timely, as Kim Kardashian’s own recreation of North West’s distinctive style had already become a talking point online. It was the kind of playful, internet-aware costume that perfectly captured Halloween’s growing connection with viral celebrity culture.

Isha Recreates Chhota Pandit’s Unforgettable Look From Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Some Halloween transformations rely on elaborate outfits, while others need just one unmistakable character reference. Isha took inspiration from Chhota Pandit, the memorable character from Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and brought the look to life with a bright orange-painted face, a small moustache, a distinctive hairstyle and a marigold garland.

Paired with an orange outfit and an expressive pose, the recreation captured the character’s eccentric personality. It was a fun reminder that Halloween doesn’t always have to be frightening. Sometimes, recreating a favourite comedy character is enough to make an impression.
