Kim Kardashian Transforms Into North West for Halloween With Blue Hair and Gothic Style

Kim Kardashian has turned heads with her first Halloween costume of 2026, transforming herself into her eldest daughter, North West, in a look that recreates the teenager’s distinctive fashion style.

The reality television star and SKIMS co-founder unveiled the transformation on Instagram on Tuesday, October 20, sporting long turquoise-blue hair, dramatic eyelashes, facial embellishments and gothic-inspired accessories. The look closely mirrors the aesthetic North has embraced in recent months.

Kardashian completed the costume with a black graphic T-shirt, black-and-white striped sleeves, chunky silver jewellery and long, decorated nails. The outfit also featured a skull-and-crossbones design associated with North’s debut extended play, N0rth4evr, released in May 2026.

Captioning the Instagram carousel “Halloween 2026,” Kardashian posed for photographs that recreated her daughter’s distinctive look and mannerisms.

The resemblance quickly caught the attention of her family. Kardashian’s sister Khloé responded to the post with “Twins!!!!!!”, while other friends and followers reacted to the transformation.

According to People, Page Six and Complex, the costume was unveiled in a series of photographs shared by Kardashian on Tuesday. <Link url=”https://people.com/kim-kardashian-halloween-costume-north-west-2026-11838717&#8243; title=”People’s report”/> and <Link url=”https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/jaelaniturnerwilliams/kim-kardashian-north-west-halloween-costume&#8221; title=”Complex’s coverage”/> documented the transformation.

North West’s fashion identity takes centre stage

North, whom Kardashian shares with rapper Ye, has attracted public attention for experimenting with alternative fashion, including brightly coloured hairstyles, oversized graphic clothing, dramatic makeup and faux piercings.

Her appearance has also prompted debate on social media, with some critics questioning her fashion choices. North addressed some of the criticism during an October TikTok livestream with her mother, defending her right to express herself through clothing.

Kardashian has also publicly defended her daughter’s individuality, explaining that fashion is one area in which she allows North to experiment with her personal style.

The Halloween transformation comes as North continues developing her own public identity through fashion and music. Her debut EP, N0rth4evr, released in May, has also influenced the visual aesthetic recreated in Kardashian’s costume.

A personal twist on Kardashian’s Halloween tradition

Kardashian has become known for elaborate Halloween transformations, often drawing inspiration from pop culture, film and other public figures.

In 2023, she and North dressed as Cher and Dionne from the 1995 film Clueless. In 2025, Kardashian also joined North and Kris Jenner in a group costume inspired by internet personalities.

This year’s look takes a different approach. Instead of recreating a fictional character or another celebrity, Kardashian has chosen to portray someone from her own family.

The decision also puts North’s distinctive style at the centre of the Halloween conversation, turning the teenager’s fashion identity into the inspiration for a widely shared celebrity costume.

Kardashian’s transformation is both a playful mother-daughter tribute and another example of how celebrity fashion, family life and social media intersect in the Kardashian household.

With Halloween still approaching, the costume adds another high-profile entry to the 2026 celebrity Halloween season.

For Kardashian, the idea was simple: step into her daughter’s shoes — and recreate the look that has made North recognisable to fans online.
