HAUTE AND HAUNTED
The New Indian Express
|October 30, 2025
CHILDREN dressed in spooky costumes and trick-or-treating, pumpkin-carving, and get-togethers with friends and families are the major traditions during Halloween in the West.
Gradually but subtly, many have also embraced the festival with spooky fashion and events.
It's the time of the year when creativity gets a touch of eeriness. "It's all about pop culture meeting glamour. People want to look good in photos, so they prefer aesthetic, wearable looks like modern witches or Greek goddesses with that glowy skin, think black corsets, gold jewellery, pastel pinks and more colours.
Spooky staples like skulls and fairies are getting a contemporary twist, replacing fake blood," says Aashika Gowda, makeup artist.
