From the re-drawn lips to the massive beehive hair and the elaborate corset, it’s a costume that Antoinette herself — the Austrian wife of King Louis XVI in the late 18th century — would surely have approved of, given the ill-fated historical figure’s known penchant for pastels and hyper-feminine attire. [Antoinette’s character](https://time.com/4171550/marie-antoinette-children-letters-affair/) in history is clouded by her unique predilections — crystallized in pop culture in the Sofia Coppola movie starring [Kirsten Dunst](https://time.com/sofia-coppola-best-director/) — and her demise; she was famous for supposedly saying “Let them eat cake!” to the starving citizenry of her country, before she was executed and the French Revolution took hold. Perhaps that makes it all the more appropriate as a Halloween costume, then, with its allusions to troubled grandeur and a scary end. As for Lovato, she switched things up on the next evening of her Halloween festivities, opting for a clown costume as the [terrifying Pennywise](https://time.com/5095874/it-bill-skarsgard-pennywise-the-clown-nightmares/) from _It_ for a party she hosted — with full face makeup to match once more. We do love an adaptable queen. And there are still a few days until the actual day of Halloween, which means plenty more costume changes could be in store. Lovato, whose last album _Tell Me You Love Me_ came out in 2017, has been [slowly returning](https://time.com/5350490/demi-lovato-drug-relapse-dangers/) to the spotlight this season after taking time away. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5712162/demi-lovato-halloween-costume-2019/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5712162/demi-lovato-halloween-costume-2019/"},"headline":"Demi Lovato's Glorious Halloween Costume Transformation Will Leave You at a Loss for Words","datePublished":"2019-10-28T15:37:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:59.988Z","description":"Marie Antoinette and Pennywise have arrived","url":"https://time.com/5712162/demi-lovato-halloween-costume-2019/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","onetime","holidays 2019","Halloween 2019"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5712162/demi-lovato-halloween-costume-2019/","name":"Demi Lovato's Glorious Halloween Costume Transformation Will Leave You at a Loss for Words"}}]}] ```
