Halloween 2023 is off to a great start! All the celebrities have upped their costume game, and some have raised oomphs with their sultry outfits. But the most-awaited costumes every year are from the Kardashian-Jenner clan. This year, Kourtney Kardashian channeled her inner Kim Kardashian with the 2013 Met Gala pregnant look. Whereas Kendall Jenner followed in the footsteps of her elder sister.
In 2022, Kim Kardashian wore one of the most controversial outfits at the annual Met Gala. For the first time, the entire Kar-Jen clan arrived at the prestigious carpet. Kim came along with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson. She wore an antique piece, paying tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Nevertheless, it caused a major backlash, but the family’s love for the actress is relentless. Kendall, for Halloween 2023, cosplayed Marilyn Monroe in a minimal look.
