Halloween is creeping closer, and Victoria Justice appears to have taken a little fashion inspiration from he-who-shall-not-be-named-three-times. In her Instagram post shared on Monday, 12 October, the actress and singer wore a dramatic black-and-white striped gown that could give Beetlejuice himself a run for his money.
Forget the ghostly pinstripe suit. Justice gave the familiar spooky aesthetic a feminine makeover in volume and ruffles big enough to crack open an entrance to another dimension.
Justice Looks Halloween-Ready
The former Victorious star posed outdoors at night wearing an off-the-shoulder gown featuring bold vertical stripes, a fitted bodice, and oversized puff sleeves. Layers of white lace trimmed the neckline, sleeves, and tiered skirt, lending the theatrical silhouette a romantic, almost Victorian quality. Her dark hair was swept into an updo with blunt bangs, while dramatic eye make-up and a deep red lip completed the hauntingly glamorous transformation.
The resemblance to Beetlejuice's signature black-and-white wardrobe was difficult to miss, although Justice traded the mischievous ghost's dishevelled tailoring for something far more elegant. She even posed with red roses, adding a touch of gothic romance to the aesthetic. With Halloween approaching, the outfit is perfectly timed for anyone whose October wardrobe calls for a little more drama than the usual witch hat and cat ears.
Beetlejuice but Make It Gothic Glamour
The striped ensemble drew immediate attention from fans, including one Instagram user who wrote, 'This look reminds me of Beetlejuice.' Another crowned Justice 'The Queen of halloween,' while a third fan simply admired 'The dresssssss,' declaring that the singer was serving.
Justice also leaned into the supernatural mood with her caption: 'If you say Love Zombie three times I'll show up,' followed by a black heart. The playful reference echoes the famous ritual of summoning Beetlejuice by repeating his name three times, although her version comes with a newly released pop remix.
Then fans decided to test the invitation. Several filled the comments with repeated cries of 'Love Zombie', hoping to summon the singer themselves. One joked, 'you aren't in my house performing rn it didn't work,' while another asked where Justice was after saying the magic words. Unfortunately, summoning your favourite pop star apparently remains slightly more complicated than summoning a mischievous ghost.

Love Zombie Gets a Halloween Resurrection
The spooky fashion moment also arrives alongside Justice's latest musical release, 'Love Zombie: The Resurrection Remix', which dropped in October 2026. The release celebrates the first anniversary of her independent single 'Love Zombie', giving the track another chance to haunt playlists just in time for Halloween.
Justice recently celebrated the remix's arrival alongside her former Victorious co-star Daniella Monet, adding a little nostalgia to the festivities. Meanwhile, fans have been embracing the song's seasonal appeal, with one commenter revealing that their family spent an entire evening dancing to it.
Repeating 'Love Zombie' three times might not actually summon her. However, there is another spell worth trying: 'Victoria, Victoria, Victoria.' Maybe it'll work.
