6 times Bollywood celebrities nailed their Halloween costumes

It's that time of the year again when Bollywood’s biggest names trade their usual red carpet ball gowns for something a little more ghoulish. Halloween isn't only celebrated in the West anymore. From spine-chilling transformations to tongue-in-cheek pop culture tributes, popular culture has turned the spooky day into yet another stage for celebrity fashionistas to show off their creativity. Halloween 2025 is nearly here and if you're on the lookout for what to wear, keep reading for a dose of inspiration with HELLO! India's list of Bollywood celebrity Halloween costumes. Whether it’s Katrina Kaif channeling Harley Quinn’s chaos or Nysa Devgan and Orry reimagining a vintage Bollywood moment, these stars prove that dressing up for the terrifying day can look pretty terrific.

1. Nysa Devgan and Orry Awatramani

Halloween 2025 hasn't even arrived yet and this Gen Z celebrity duo have already made an impact. Nysa and Orry recreated an iconic 1996 magazine photoshoot featuring Kajol and Rekha. Nysa channelled her mother, Kajol's look, while Orry embodied Rekha’s regal glamour. Their attention to detail; from the styling to the poses, has gone on to make headlines with its viral recreation, which is also a nod to Bollywood’s golden era.

2. Janhvi Kapoor

For her Halloween transformation in 2022, the actress embraced the gothic elegance of Morticia Addams. Dressed in a long, fitted black gown with sleek centre-parted hair, pale skin, smokey eyes, and deep matte wine lips, she captured the mysterious allure of The Addams Family matriarch. 

3. Katrina Kaif

Katrina went full pop-punk for Halloween when she channelled the chaotic charm of Harley Quinn in 2022. Over a pink tank and denim shorts, she wore red suspenders, a transparent jacket with dramatic fringed sleeves. Her blonde pigtails, one streaked red and the other blue, paired with smudged eye makeup, was an apt portrayal of the anti-heroine.

4. Sonam Kapoor

A fashionista through and through, for Halloween 2020 too Sonam didn't steer too far from the style sphere as she turned heads when she dressed as Marilyn Monroe. With voluminous curls in a platinum blonde wing, winged eyeliner and her trademark mole finished with a perfectly red pout, she captured the timeless beauty of the Hollywood icon.

5. Ananya Panday

Ananya brought nostalgia to Halloween when she stepped into the shoes of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s iconic character “Poo” from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Her outfit — a sequinned pink crop top and a mini skirt with glossy finished makeup — nailed the early-2000s aesthetic for a Halloween party in 2022.
