Charli XCX Channels 2002 Thriller 'Secretary' at Kendall Jenner's Halloween Party

Charli XCX embraced an unconventional Halloween costume, arriving at Kendall Jenner's annual bash dressed as Lee Holloway from the 2002 erotic thriller "Secretary." The singer embodied the character, famously portrayed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, in a sheer white blouse and a black pencil skirt. She completed the look with a prop arm bar, a nod to a notable detail from the film.

Fans lauded Charli's costume choice, with one social media user calling her "the Queen of movie references." The party at Bar Marmont saw a number of celebrities in attendance, including Alix Earle, Vittoria Ceretti, and Finneas O'Connell.

While many guests showcased their costumes, Jenner reportedly kept her own look private, making a low-key exit from the event. Other notable costumes included Vittoria Ceretti as Little Red Riding Hood, Tate McRae as Catwoman, Alix Earle in a robotic silver jumpsuit, Odessa A'zion in a gothic-inspired dress, Justine Skye as a stylized Teletubby, Cara Delevingne in a spooky outfit, Finneas and his girlfriend Claudia Sulewski in regal attire, Landon Barker and Ashtin Earle as Elvis Presley and Lisa-Marie, Zoey Deutch as Jessica Rabbit, and Atiana De La Hoya in a leopard print catsuit.

In other news, Charli XCX has been involved in a charity initiative selling some of her beloved tour looks on Vinted. The proceeds from the sales benefit Rainbow Railroad, an organization supporting LGBTQI+ individuals facing persecution. The collection features items worn on tour, personal archive pieces, and second-hand finds, with a curated selection made available for purchase in the UK, US, and Australia starting November 16. A behind-the-scenes video of Charli and her stylist Chris Horan exploring Vinted finds and revisiting iconic fashion moments was set to premiere on November 8.
