Kylie Jenner Transforms Into Demi Moore in ‘Striptease’ for Halloween

Leave it to Kylie Jenner to make a Halloween costume out of no costume at all.

The beauty mogul bared (almost) all in an Instagram post on Thursday, October 31, that showed her as Demi Moore from the 1996 film, Striptease, replete with a movie poster recreation and not so much as a stitch of clothing.

When Jenner, 27, posed for the camera, her hair was windblown and styled long and straight (with bangs!) to mirror the look made famous by Moore, 61. She completed the ’90s beauty moment by donning a matte nude lip, tawny blush and a fresh spray tan for a bronze finish.

The barely-there makeup was in line with Jenner’s more natural approach to glam as of late — however, by stripping down, she may have been making a statement in support of Moore.

During a discussion on The New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast in September 2024, Moore recalled people trying to tear her down not just because the role was provocative but because of the accompanying payday. She became the highest-earning female actor when she landed the part in Striptease for $12.5 million – and that’s when the backlash started.

“Well, with Striptease, it was as if I had betrayed women, and with G.I. Jane, it was as if I had betrayed men,” Moore said on the podcast. “But I think the interesting piece is that when I became the highest-paid actress — why is it that, at that moment, the choice was to bring me down?”

She continued: “I don’t take this personally. I think anyone who had been in the position that was the first to get that kind of equality of pay would probably have taken a hit. But because I did a film that was dealing with the world of stripping and the body, I was extremely shamed.”

During a recent cover story for Variety, Moore said landing her record-breaking Striptease salary was “so powerful for me because it wasn’t just about me; it was about changing the playing field for all women. But because I was portraying a stripper, I betrayed women.”

“The narrative quickly became, ‘Well, she’s only getting paid that number because she’s playing a stripper.’ It hit me really hard,” Moore told the publication at the time. “But at the same time, I understood that anybody who steps out first is going to take the hit. That goes for anybody challenging the status quo.”

In paying homage to Moore’s career-defining role, Jenner seemed to be taking a stand for equal pay for women in Hollywood and beyond. After all, Jenner knows a thing or two about making headlines for financial success — she was named the youngest billionaire by Forbes in 2019.

Some criticized the publication’s decision to call Jenner “self-made,” saying she was born into wealth and privilege. At the time, Jenner responded to the negative backlash, claiming that her parents financially “cut [her] off at the age of 15.”

Judging by her latest Halloween costume, it seems Jenner is continuing to do things her way.
