Megan Thee Stallion’s custom Cirque du Soleil look for Hottieween 2026 was made possible by nearly two dozen artists who spent more than 700 hours crafting the scene-stealing costume.
As we told you in early October, Megan brought her annual Halloween celebration to Zouk Nightclub in Las Vegas this year, fittingly declaring herself “the ringleader” of the proverbial circus in an announcement post on Instagram at the time.
It all went down on the eve of Halloween, as a four-minute Cirque du Soleil act choreographed by Tiffany Baker opened the proceedings, complete with contortion and more. This led into Megan being presented to attendees in an oversized origami pumpkin skirt, which was pulled apart to reveal a party-ready twist on the look.

“Working with Cirque du Soleil on this year’s Hottieween costume was such an amazing experience,” Megan said in a statement shared with Complex. “The amount of preparation, creativity, and attention to detail that went into bringing everything to life was incredible. It was the perfect way to set the tone for another unforgettable Hottieween celebration.”
Indeed, when first announcing that Cirque du Soleil had been enlisted for the 2026 edition of Hottieween, Megan vowed to take the yearly tradition to “a whole other dimension.” That goal would very much appear to have been met.
Megan’s custom Cirque du Soleil look for the night was readied for the stage under the guidance of creative director Gabriel Dubé-Dupuis and costume designer Miodrag “Mio” Guberinic, and yes, it took 23 artists over 700 hours to complete. Shrewd design touches are seen throughout, including the use of dozens of magnets to enable the skirt to break into four sections at the perfect moment.
