Megan Thee Stallion might be the latest celebrity turned Drag Race stan. Over the weekend, the “Thot Shit” rapper dropped a new Halloween look as a sexy, curvy Pinhead from the Hellraiser film franchise. And for her take on the horror icon, it seems Megan was influenced by none other than Drag Race alum Gottmik.
“Pain has a face,” Megan wrote in a Sunday Instagram post tagged #Hottieween. “Allow me to show you. Gentlemen I am pain.”
Megan’s stylist, Zerina Akers, also posted the look on her personal Instagram, where she tagged and credited the Drag Race alum as inspiration.
While competing on Drag Race, Gottmik — who is known for painting their face in white makeup — wore a Pinhead look at the finale. Both Gottmik and Megan’s takes on the character featured a black and white design, but Gottmik opted for a crystal-esque face design to emulate Pinhead’s face pins, while Megan looks to be wearing a more spiky headpiece and a leotard.
It’s not entirely clear why Megan chose to dress as Pinhead other than she might just be a costume nerd and love Halloween (valid!). Still, there seems to be a bit more to it: Her post looks to be in conjunction with her Something For Thee Hotties: From Thee Archives project, set to be announced on Friday.
