Halle Bailey & DDG Nail Janet Jackson & Tupac ‘Poetic Justice’ Couples Halloween Costume — And Janet Approves
Written by djfrosty on October 30, 2023
Halle Bailey and DDG have officially won Halloween. The duo dressed up as the lead characters from 1993’s Poetic Justice, played by Janet Jackson and the late Tupac Shakur.
Bailey, who resembles Jackson in general, also took to TikTok to share a video in which she and DDG re-create an NSFW scene from the film.
Bailey is no stranger to channeling her iconic look-alike, as she’s paid tribute to Jackson throughout the years. She even got Jackson’s approval this year: The iconic pop star shared Bailey’s Halloween costume to her Instagram story along with a red-heart emoji.
“Poetic justice, put it in a song,” Bailey captioned a series of photos of the couple’s costumes, quoting Kendrick Lamar’s 2012 song “Poetic Justice.” DDG captioned his photos “tupac & janet” with a black heart. The pair re-created a dozen photos of Jackson and Shakur, from the film’s poster to a series of black-and-white publicity photos.

Halle’s sister Chloe went a more mystical route for her Halloween costume this year, dressing as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, also known as Khaleesi. As part of Chloe x Halle, the duo contributed the haunting song “Wolf at Your Door” to the 2019 album For the Throne: Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones, which also featured contributions from Maren Morris, Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers as well as a collaborative track from SZA, The Weeknd and Travis Scott.
