Paris Hilton, for the fourth year in a row, chose a Britney Spears look — this time an exact replica of the 2001 MTV VMAs performance with a live snake draped over her shoulders. At the same time, Kim Kardashian donned a blue wig and long nails to become her 13-year-old daughter North West, while North herself responded by transforming into Natalie Nunn from "Bad Girls Club."
Heidi Klum appeared as the alien E.T., while Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker chose gothic vampires. These transformations surfaced online several days before 31 October and immediately went viral.
Each costume is more than just fun. Hilton highlights her long-standing friendship with Spears and nostalgia for an era when both were icons. Kardashian, meanwhile, literally steps into her daughter's image, blurring the line between motherhood and public performance, while North and Natalie Nunn complete the circle of mutual reflections.
Such moves allow celebrities to control the narrative: instead of random snapshots, they themselves set the tone of discussion, reminding everyone of their roots, connections, and ability to surprise. Family transformations especially vividly show how fame today flows between generations.
In the end, Halloween 2026 once again became not just a costumed holiday, but a stage where celebrities demonstrate who they are now and who they want to appear to be next.
