The Pumpkin Tradition Returns
October has arrived, and for Megan Thee Stallion, that means more than just the start of spooky season.
The rapper has built a reputation for marking the first of the month in her own unforgettable way: by wearing a pumpkin on her head.
Over the past few years, she has committed to this quirky tradition, sharing viral photos of herself sporting the festive look. This year, however, Megan took it a step further by adding a new twist — a pumpkin piercing.
Pumpkin Piercing Surprise
In a carousel of photos posted to Instagram, Megan showed fans her visit to a piercing studio, where the gourd on her head received a dangling cross piercing. Though pumpkins don’t have eyebrows, the jewellery looked fierce and unexpected.
The post quickly gained traction online, with fans praising her creativity and her dedication to keeping the October 1 tradition alive.
Casual Look, Bold Statement
While the pumpkin and piercing stole the spotlight, Megan paired the stunt with a relaxed but stylish outfit. She wore a cropped white t-shirt, jeans, and slouchy boots, accessorising with layered jewellery that tied the look together.
The casual styling contrasted perfectly with the over-the-top pumpkin moment, making the photos even more striking.
Halloween Manicure Reveal
Alongside the pumpkin reveal, Megan also showcased her highly anticipated Halloween manicure — another tradition her fans eagerly look forward to each year.
This year’s nails were notably more subdued compared to some of her past elaborate designs. Still, they carried the spooky charm that has become a staple of her October looks.
Creepy-Cute Nail Designs
The manicure featured a variety of designs. Some nails were painted solid black with small red dots, while others embraced a classic French tip style with sheer pink bases, white edges, and added red accents.
The standout detail, however, came in the form of tiny clown faces painted on select nails.
Clowns: Cute or Creepy?
Each clown design featured a white base with smiling mouths, star-shaped eyes, and the classic red nose. For some, the playful designs were “adorable.” But for others, the look leaned into nightmare territory, especially for fans with clown phobias.
This balance of creepy and cute perfectly summed up Megan’s Halloween vibe.
Fans React Online
Within hours of posting, Megan’s photos were widely shared across social media platforms. Many praised her for keeping the tradition alive and for once again blending humour, creativity, and style into one unforgettable moment.
Some fans admitted they couldn’t decide whether to laugh at the clown nails or be creeped out by them. Others applauded her for inspiring fresh Halloween nail art ideas just in time for the spooky season.
A Growing Halloween Legacy

Her annual October 1 pumpkin posts, in particular, have become a fan-favorite tradition, sparking memes and media coverage each time.
Subdued But Still Spooky
While this year’s look was slightly more understated than previous years, it still carried Megan’s signature blend of confidence and playfulness. Fans noted that even when she tones things down, her creativity still shines through.
The pumpkin piercing and clown nails added just the right amount of shock factor to keep her audience entertained.
