Megan Thee Stallion celebrates Halloween in style with the perfect comic-based cosplay, delivering a stunning recreation of Starfire, and fans are now begging for her to be cast as the iconic Titans. The Texas-born rapper recently shared some stellar costumes as part of what she’s dubbed “Hottieween,” with her first look turning her into the Titans powerhouse. DC’s alien princess gets a major profile boost from a music superstar.
In a photoshoot posted to her @theestallion Instagram account, Megan officially transforms into Starfire Thee Stallion with her fiery red hair and classic purple costume. The musician is seen hitting several action hero poses in front of various different backgrounds with some cool new logos made up for the character, showing off the iconic member of the Teen Titans as a solo hero. Comic fans will be thrilled to see Megan’s post also includes some original George Pérez art from Starfire’s New Teen Titans era.
Garnering social media buzz and positive reactions from her fanbase and DC Comics readers alike, the brilliant Halloween costume makes a real case for Starfire to receive a stronger push from the publisher in its future stories.
Superstar Megan Thee Stallion Fulfills Fan-Casting Wishes With Comics-Accurate Starfire Costume
Capturing the Attention and Hearts of Fans and Fellow Creatives
Hot off the release of her latest anime-inspired self-titled album, Megan Thee Stallion continues to be an inspiration to nerds everywhere as she perfectly recreates a DC hero’s classic look. Heavily based on co-creator Pérez’s design for the character, Megan’s Starfire costume is a love letter to the New Teen Titans version of the Princess of Tamaran. One of the backgrounds used for her photos is even from Pérez’s cover for Tales of the New Teen Titans #4 by Marv Wolfman, Pérez, Ernie Colón, Adrienne Roy, and Todd Klein, which details Starfire’s origin as Princess Koriand’r before she got to Earth and joined the team.
Starfire is more than capable of being a major solo hero, and the reaction to Megan Thee Stallion’s costume proves that even further.
Though Starfire’s design can be quite varied and fans are known to be fickle about which version of the character they’d like to see, Megan’s take on the hero received acclaim from fans and her peers alike. There was a deluge of comments from people clamoring to be her Nightwing, her fellow Titan with the strongest romantic ties to the alien superhero. Co-chief of DC Studios, James Gunn, even weighed in on the rap superstar’s comic-inspired costume by commenting “Incredible” on the photoshoot amid reports of a DCU Teen Titans movie in development, and also re-shared the post on Threads.

Starfire is far from obscurity in the world of comics, but the musician’s costumed photoshoot and the positive response to it has proven that the character is still underrated and underutilized as a major player in the DC Universe. As a Titan and occasional member of the Justice League, the alien princess is one of the publisher’s most powerful characters. With a long list of powers including super-strength, speed, flight, energy blasts, eye lasers, and more, Starfire is more than capable of being a major solo hero, and the reaction to Megan Thee Stallion’s costume proves that even further.

As “Beast World” rages on, two Titans are recognized for their strengths. But a new development in the unfolding chaos hints at the danger they’re in.
This isn’t the first time that Megan has dipped a toe into the comic book world, with a memorable appearance as herself in the Marvel series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. However, her Halloween cosplay takes her from a celebrity cameo to becoming the alien superhero herself in all her glory, instantly becoming a dream casting for the role that could inspire comics artists when depicting the character moving forward. With her out-of-this-world Starfire costume, Megan Thee Stallion perfectly captures the power of a DCicon.
