Hello, happy Halloween to all of you witches, ghouls, ghosts and unchill peeps. Here’s Kylie Jenner’s Halloween costume, or should I say, one of her many costumes. This is being called “Sexy Ariel” but I am absolutely positive that she’s Amelia Earhart. Perhaps Marie Curie? Hillary Clinton? No, no no. Sexy Little Mermaid it is. And is it just me or does that Ariel wig make Kylie look crazy-different? She looks like Halsey all of a sudden.
As everyone knows by now, I am a scaredy cat and I have no chill when it comes to scary stories, scary movies or scary TV shows. I honestly watch that silly-cheeseball show Prodigal Son and it’s started to freak me out too! And yet every friggin’ year now, I try to read some of Jezebel’s Scary Stories (contributed by readers) and I end up freaking out and scaring myself so badly. The panther kitten knew I was scared last night too, and he was such a good boy – he stayed right beside me, sleeping with his head on my pillow ALL night. He was there for his mama and he got a special treat. If you too want to scare yourself (WHY?), you can read Jezebel’s annual scary stories here and here.
Lupita Nyong’o is a scaredy cat too, I think, but she still enjoyed freaking people out at Universal’s Haunted House – she dressed up as her Us character and people were losing their minds.

it always annoys me that the ‘sexy [insert halloween costume]’ is so gendered. where are the guys with their ‘sexy [insert costume]’??? reminds me a lot of Mean Girls w/Lindsay Lohan as the zombie bride and showing up to find every girl in a ‘sexy [insert costume]’ and learning what Halloween actually means in the weird western world (at least here), lol.
LL’s narrated line: “In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.”
sigh, cant we just f–king enjoy actual fun costumes instead of having to make it the ‘sexy version’? look at me, Im a Sexy Taco, no Im a Sexy Lamp, no no, Im a Sexy Nancy Pelosi! you just know all the hetero guys looooooove Halloween for exactly what Mean Girls describes.
I find most are gendered. Women are to be sexy-costume (which half the time I can’t even tell what the costume is other than underwear), but men are either just blah or dressed as women bc that’s “hilarious”.
Sexy RBG!
If I see someone in a sexy RBG costume I might resort to violence
Yeah, I tend to agree. Though, I do appreciate the girls who do genuinely feel a bit more empowered and who own their sexuality when they might normally be too shy or whatever to do it. Kind of like how some women really dress up as bombshells for comic-con and stuff like that. It’s absolutely problematic a lot of the time, but there are always outliers where I can see the confidence levels just rising which isn’t so bad of a thing.
I’m really mostly here for funny costumes. Halifax NS got hit hard (harder than FL) by hurricane Dorian, and there was a crane that got left up during the storm. Now, of course, that crane came down and caused a HUGE panic and people are being sued, a state of emergency was invoked in the area, etc etc. Luckily nobody got hurt (to my knowledge). BUT. I saw a couples costume where one person dressed up as the building, and the other person dressed up as the crane, and just kept leaning on them for photos. And I thought that was SUPER clever.
This. I mean, Goddess forbid there be 1 day out of 365 in a victim-blaming proveyou’reNotThatKindofGirlOrElse society where it’s understood that a lot of women will be throwing patriarchal standards of respectability aside, by dressing immodestly on purpose just for fun. 👯
Exactly. I see a difference between dressing sexy for yourself and dressing sexy because it’s expected, or because other people are doing it. As long as you’re owning it, you go out there in whatever costume you want! I wish more women would do that for themselves, including younger ones – I’d rather see a young woman dressed provocatively because it makes her love herself more than being shamed into someone else’s definition of modesty. It really just makes me sad when someone does it and seems genuinely uncomfortable because they’re dressing to match their friends or because they feel like they ‘have’ to dress sexy. The ones that WANT to? Get it, girl.
I think the opposite side of this is that if we didn’t slut shame young girls for exploring their sexuality and expression, limiting them from exploring that one side of themselves, that is seemingly prized in society above all else, except on one day then we wouldn’t get this dichotomy at all.
I also really dislike the framing of sexy vs fun. Let girls do what they want. Wanting to be sexy isn’t an inherently bad thing.
That all said, it would be incredibly nice if Kylie realized her value was beyond her body and appeal to the male gaze and started modelling that for her followers, but that’s expecting activism and being a role model, which is a major responsibility and requires introspection that is probably not yet available to her. Not that she can’t be proud and sexual etc, but its important to see more facets.
Yesssss Georgette
A few years ago, someone in the office decided to be the sexy George RR Martin because they have the same built and he wore a cap w/ straight hair blonde wig, short shorts, and carried a typewriter. All of the gays in the building though he was playing Bruce Vilanch. So while I agree the ‘sexy’ costume thing is sexist and gendered, cis – straight white men are just not good at this.
I don’t think it’s the same. This guy wasn’t doing “sexyy GRRM” to tintilate but for humour.
That woman dressed as “sexy taco” may get a laugh but she will get a lot more “I wanna eat that taco” comments than your coworker with his GRRM one.
But women don’t always do it for that purpose either. Male viewpoints take up a lot of space in how female choices are viewed. Also, approaches to male bodies are more lighthearted and less angry/possessive/competitive.
I think “Sexy lamp/taco/Nancy Pelosi” costumes are meant to be a humorous spin on the whole “sexy x” Halloween tradition. If someone makes an “I wanna eat that taco” comment, it’s a little disingenuous to act surprised, although if it’s a coworker: 1) sexy costumes don’t belong at work; 2) even if someone decides it’s ok to wear a sexy costume to work (debatable), that doesn’t make the colleagues’ sexual harassment a good idea.
Re sexy costumes in general: I no longer have the energy to give a f*ck about what women do with their bodies when they aren’t hurting anyone else. Like, get your freak flags on ladies, dress sexy for you, for your partner, for attention, IDGAF. I’ll be in my sweats, but have fun out there and be safe! 🙂
Hahaha they made fun of this on the webseries Childrens Hospital
Someone was sexy dry wall hahah
I would totally wear that! I love the little Flounder purse.
It’s called a vagina.
I don’t see her vagina. I have one, so I’m quite familiar. I think the green skirt looks cool, the seashell cups and netting were done well too. And again, love me some Flounder.
If she wants to be a sexy mermaid, then rock on girl. You do you. No hate here.
I do too. If she wasn’t posing so suggestively it would be easier to see how excellent it is.. Its basically what Ariel wore, and I would have loved to have the money to recreate this as a teen or young adult.
Halloween should be moved into the summer months so all those poor women in their sexy street walker costumes would not have to freeze their fake butts off. It’s not about the original Halloween anyway.
It’s not even street walker, I think it sort of escalated to porn star wardrobe.
Marginalized groups of people shouldn’t be used as insults and clothing isn’t consent. Happy Halloween.
Kylie must have got her Aunt Flo visiting again… those seashells.
ha ha ha ha!
Lol, I bet young girls today have never heard of Aunt Flo. I haven’t heard that phrase in a long time! 😂
This is because of that meme that went around about casting her in the movie *eye roll*
Kylie looks…like you’d expect her to look. None of the women in that family have any imagination or interest in anything beyond trying to look sexy. It’s sad.
Lupita is the best! Us was an interesting film, and she was by far the highlight for me. She’s a great actress.
Yes! Like they think all men want them 🙄
What is up with her eyes? I don’t mean her eye color, I mean her actually eye/lid shape. I feel like she’s had something tweaked so that they always look “sultry”/half-closed. Or am I tripping??
She looks like she’s morphing into Megan Fox.
She’s look like Amber Heard to me. I think it’s the switch of eye color.
same here, I thought that’s Megan Fox dressed up as Jessica Rabbit. 🙂
@Bub244 Hmm maybe you’re on to something here
I think she had them tweaked a while ago to look more almond shaped. Then it takes minimal downwards movement of the eyelids to look, as you say, “sultry”.
I laughed when I saw these pics. I can’t imagine putting out the sexy vibe 100% of the time. It’s so ridiculous. Give me my sweats.
Looking through the pics of all the celebrity parties and it’s one sexy (trashy) costume after another. Like be creative…be scary…something different. Ugh.
Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃
Well, I thought she was just on one of her usual nights out at some club. This is everyday dress for Ms Jenner.
How does she do anything with those nails?
She probably has someone on payroll to wipe her ass.
*VOM*
I guess I’m getting old but this pic just makes me sad. She’s a young person and the changes to her body strike me as so horrific. I can’t believe what these women have done to their bodies in a quest for fame and money, and how many other people look up to that somehow. Butchering our own bodies, it’s just not ok in my mind. I know people want to look and feel a certain way, be attractive, and have a right to do what they want with their own bodies. But having to change yourself so thoroughly just can’t leave one with a positive feeling of self worth. I can’t believe how much we distract ourselves from real accomplishment by focusing so much on our appearance.
Ok, old lady rant over …
No, you’re not old. You just see through the superficiality and the illusion.
Kylie looks cheap as usual. That shell bra doesn’t even fit properly and her wig could have been better. All that money and this is what you settle for?
I will never properly fathom how people with so much money have some of the worst plastic surgery I have ever seen.
Well I think the never-ending stash of money just feeds the addiction to surgery. And the more surgery, the faker people look.
I mena this costume is pretty close to the actual one, so while it is a sexy costume, it’s not relalt a “sexy” version, you know? And it’s cute. I also adore the purse.
My conspiracy theory is that whenever a Kardashian wears a wig, it’s to distract from some recent cosmetic procedure. I will add these pictures to my file of evidence.
I’ve actually read this on beauty blogs, that it is very common for a celebrity to get a drastic haircut or hair color change to distract from the fact that they have a new face.
I truly hope your file of evidence is a real thing and I would really love to see that.
Her nose job and jaw line look really really prominent. I can’t tell if it’s because they’re new (newer) or if it’s just the costume that highlights it. Her body too – the line down the front of her torso, ever shrinking waist and growing boobs and bum… it’s up to women to do whatever they want – no judgement on that front in a general way – but she’s so young. How long will she continue regularly re-tweaking herself? I can’t help but wonder what a Brazilian butt lift looks like after 30 years.
Anyone else find it ironic that the Little Mermaid is wearing a pearl netting?
I actually kind of like it? It looks like water droplets, kind of like Kim’s met gala look.
I mean, it’s creative, so gets points from me 🤷♀️
There’s a sadness to her that I can’t not see – she just looks so vacant all the time. I don’t watch KUWTK so this is a genuine question: does she ever laugh? Smile? Joke around with her sisters? All I see her do is pose vacantly after changing literally everything about her face and body.
So are those still her “period” boobs?
Also, isn’t she the one who said she’d love to leave it all behind and go live on a farm? She seems as thirsty as the rest. It’s an addiction. She’s not doing it for the money since she’s already filthy rich.
This is boring. We’ve seen it a million times and all of these plastic surgery people all look alike now.
I saw a pic yesterday and of Kourtney and I honestly couldn’t tell if her companion was Kim or Larsa Pippen. They all have the same face now.
I KNOW! KIM AND LOOK SO ALIKE IT’S CRAZY!!!!! 😱
She looks more like Jessica rabbit then Ariel.
Lupita is so funny! I would have peed my pants if I saw Red coming at me.
Kylie looks like this everyday to me. Boring AF.
Can you imagine obsessing and fussing so much over your physical appearance as Kylie and her sisters do? SO.MANY.HOURS.EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
Imagine if that was what you had to do every day to rake in the bucks.
The mindlessness of it all.
Ugh.
I would go mad.
(Back to my writing and painting.)
Lupita is AWESOME.
Ariel grew up…passed by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and got caught up in some non-biodegradable plastic netting??!!
It would make sense to just dress as Kardashians for Halloween. They are so artificial there is no need for another costume. Sadly I would run out of makeup trying to imitate them.
Poor Kylie needs actual friends. I follow the infuencers/insta famous “models” of the world, and aside from that Stassi girl she does not have that many actual real friends. She clings to one person and that’s her only friend and her whole world, much like she did with Jordan. Stassi has lots of other friends and posts often with other people but Kylie never does even though she is clearly at the same events and it just seems so sad and lonely. I truly feel for her she never really had a chance you know.
These poor girls would stroke out if they had to dress up as something not-sexy. Everything they do is supposed to be sexy, or look sexy, or sound sexy. In the totality of my nearly 55 years I don’t think I’ve been as concerned about sexiness as these girls are in just an average hour of an average day.
Um. I agree with everyone here. You are all hilarious and lovely, but… Are we just ignoring the “found my flounder” caption as she faux touches her lady business?? I snort-choked
