Halloween Weekend 2026: Klum's Hand, Sidibe's Drake, and Viral Moments

Halloween weekend produced a surge of viral content and high-profile costume displays.

The period began with Drake marking his 40th birthday in casual autumn clothing, which sparked immediate internet reactions and meme creation. Gabourey Sidibe followed this by appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show dressed as a pumpkin spice version of Drake. Sidibe stated that the look matched Drake's energy, and the outfit quickly became a trending topic on social media platforms.

Heidi Klum hosted her annual Halloween party, where she wore a life-sized severed hand costume. In an interview with E! News on the red carpet, Klum explained her design process. "Literally, my left hand inspired me," she said. Klum described fitting her body into the hand structure, noting that her two legs went into the fingers while her body fit into the palm. She confirmed that the physical arrangement worked as planned.

Other notable events included Janelle Monae's Wondaween: Creature Camp party, which featured a star-studded guest list. Megan Thee Stallion also held her annual Hottieween Boo Bash. Monae's event and Klum's appearance were highlighted in social media discussions about the weekend's top moments. The viral posts included videos and tweets documenting the costumes and party scenes from the holiday period.
