"Meow from your favourite Puss in Boots."
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan’s stunning Halloween look was a masterclass in how to merge fashion with fantasy.
The Never Have I Ever star’s reimagining of Puss in Boots was vibrant, mischievous and beautifully styled.
But what stood out was how considered every element is.
Maitreyi’s white ruffled blouse and corseted waist formed a classic silhouette, but the addition of a rust-brown skirt layered over soft petticoats gave it richness and movement.
It’s playful and romantic, evoking a fairytale musketeer more than a literal cartoon cat.
Maitreyi paired her outfit with knee-high black boots, which were sleek and structured.
Her wide-brimmed hat, topped with a yellow feather, added an almost cinematic drama.
Maitreyi’s hair and makeup elevated the Halloween transformation.
The copper-red waves were luxurious, styled with soft curls that gleamed against the natural light of the woodland backdrop.
Her makeup was radiant and feline-inspired in the best way: bronzed skin, defined lashes, and sharp winged eyeliner that subtly mimicked cat eyes.
The whiskers across her cheeks were executed with precision, adding whimsy without sacrificing polish. Her lips, glazed in a glossy nude shade, completed the look with understated glamour.
To add to the feline look, Maitreyi’s nails were extravagantly long, reminiscent of a cat’s claws.
Her manicure was a neutral tone that complemented the warm palette of her outfit.
Maitreyi’s Halloween costume was finished off with a prop sword.
Sharing the look on Instagram, she wrote: “Meow from your favourite Puss in Boots. Fear me if you dare.”
