As Phoebe Bridgers famously noted, Halloween offers the unique opportunity to be anything. This year, the music community embraced that spirit with a diverse array of concepts to mark the spookiest day of the season, which coincided with the end of Daylight Savings time.
Rather than lamenting the earlier sunset at 5:00 P.M., artists focused on their creative transformations. Tinashe appeared dressed as a gram of melatonin, while Wednesday Addams delivered a perfect tribute to her family. Janelle Monáe also featured prominently, showcasing her characteristically terrifying and inventive style.
These looks represent Pitchfork's favorite Halloween costumes from the music world in 2026, highlighting how musicians interpreted the holiday through their unique lenses.
