Megan Thee Stallion’s Halloween Costume Took 700 Hours — and It Transforms on Stage
Friday night, Megan Thee Stallion delivered the Hottieween moment everyone was waiting for — and it took more than 700 hours to build. Her annual Hottieween party went down Oct. 30 at Zouk Nightclub inside Resorts World Las Vegas, headlined by a towering, transforming Cirque du Soleil costume that changed shape right on stage.
This is the follow-up to our Oct. 30 trailer post: the “Thee Circus Is Coming” theme came to life with a four-minute Cirque du Soleil performance — featuring artists from KÀ, Michael Jackson ONE and O — before Megan rolled out in the towering pumpkin skirt.
The numbers behind the costume are unreal: 23 artists, 700+ hours of work, 50+ yards of fabric, an accordion sleeve built from 120 patterned pieces, and a 12-panel origami pumpkin skirt held together by more than 50 magnets — which split apart on her cue mid-performance. This wasn’t a costume, it was a full stage production.
Also on the bill: Amapiano DJ Uncle Waffles as the special guest, plus drinks from Megan’s own Chicas Divertidas tequila brand — with a portion of proceeds benefiting her Pete & Thomas Foundation. Halloween 2026 has officially been won.
