Demi Moore’s Dual Halloween Highlights: Praise from Kylie Jenner and Unrecognizable Role in ‘The Substance’
Demi Moore has been making waves this Halloween season with two distinct and attention-grabbing appearances. First, she received praise from Kylie Jenner for her iconic role in the 1996 film ‘Striptease‘. Jenner, the 27-year-old founder of Kylie Cosmetics, recreated Moore’s famous pose from the movie’s poster, posting the images on her Instagram account. Moore, now 61, expressed her admiration for Jenner’s homage, stating “Love this” and praising her for having “nailed it”.
In another notable appearance, Demi Moore shared eerie behind-the-scenes photos from her new body horror film, ‘The Substance‘. The film, directed by Coralie Fargeat, features Moore in a drastically transformed role, wearing extensive prosthetics to portray an older version of her character, Elisabeth Sparkle. Moore’s character is a TV aerobics star who injects herself with a black-market drug to regain her youth, a role that has garnered her Oscar buzz.
The photos, posted just in time for Halloween, showed Moore unrecognizable with no hair and a face full of wrinkles, as well as covered in blood in another shot. The film has received rave reviews since its premiere in September and has earned over $41 million at the box office. Moore captioned the photos, “Been holding onto these gems from @trythesubstance and today feels like an appropriate day to share them. Happy Halloween from Elisabeth Sparkle”.
Moore’s performance in ‘The Substance’ has been highly praised, and she has spoken about the personal connection she feels with her character, reflecting on the pressures of beauty standards she faced during her peak in the ’80s and ’90s. Her role in the film continues her legacy of pushing boundaries for women in Hollywood, following her notable performances in films like ‘G.I. Jane’ and ‘Striptease’.
