An imitation of the style and image associated with the musician Courtney Love, specifically designed for the holiday of Halloween, often involves recreating her signature looks through clothing, makeup, and accessories. Examples frequently include babydoll dresses, ripped tights, smudged makeup, and disheveled hairstyles, reflecting a grunge or kinderwhore aesthetic.
This form of dress-up offers an opportunity to embody a recognizable and often controversial cultural figure, allowing for creative expression and engagement with a specific musical and fashion era. It also provides a recognizable and readily identifiable character for social events centered around the holiday. The trend’s prevalence indicates enduring interest in 1990s alternative culture and its prominent personalities.
