Kendall Jenner’s Paris, Texas Halloween Costume

The Lowdown

Kendall Jenner picked a Cannes winner for Halloween this year. For her combined Halloween and birthday party, she dressed as Jane Henderson from Wim Wenders’s 1984 drama Paris, Texas, and Jacob Elordi came as Jane’s husband, Travis (Elle; Harper’s Bazaar). She shared the look on Instagram on Oct. 31 with a two-word caption: the film’s title (Jenner on Instagram; InStyle).

The Story

Jenner usually leans into fashion for Halloween, and this year’s pick was one of her more cinephile choices. One of the photos she posted shows her at a bar, a nod to one of the film’s best-known scenes (Elle; InStyle). The blonde wig was a big change from her usual dark hair, and InStyle called it her lightest color in years (InStyle).

The guest list leaned famous. Elle reports Charli XCX, Hailey Bieber and Laura Harrier were there, and Harper’s Bazaar adds Tate McRae and Alex Consani (Elle; Harper’s Bazaar). Marie Claire says Bieber came as an angel in custom wings and Charli XCX drew on the 2002 film Secretary (Marie Claire).

The couples costume drew plenty of attention. Harper’s Bazaar refers to Elordi as Jenner’s boyfriend, while Elle still calls them a rumored couple. Neither of them has said anything publicly about the relationship (Harper’s Bazaar; Elle).

Why Paris, Texas

Paris, Texas follows Travis, who walks out of the Texas desert after four years away and tries to rebuild his relationships with his brother, his young son and his estranged wife, Jane. Sam Shepard wrote it, and it won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1984. Jane’s fuzzy pink sweater from one of its key scenes is still one of the film’s most recognizable images (Elle; Harper’s Bazaar).

The Background

Jenner’s past costumes include Karl Lagerfeld in 2015, Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire in 2020, the Martian Girl from Mars Attacks! in 2021 and Jessie from Toy Story in 2022. She and her sister Kylie went as Batman Forever characters in 2023 and as Lizzie McGuire Movie characters in 2024 (Harper’s Bazaar). In 2019 she wrote on Instagram that she was “keeping the Halloween birthday party alive for mom” (Elle).

Elordi’s turn as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein earned him an Academy Award nomination. See his new Who’s Who profile, more of our Halloween 2026 coverage and our recap of The Kardashians Season 8 premiere.
