Gracie Abrams used Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo and Juliet as the inspiration for two looks during Saturday Night Live’s October 31 Halloween episode. She performed “Hit the Wall” in armor over a Hawaiian shirt, then made the live debut of “Here You Come, There You Go” in a Chanel gown with angel wings.
Gracie Abrams brought a Romeo and Juliet theme to her musical-guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, wearing armor and a Chanel angel-inspired gown during the show’s Halloween episode. The looks accompanied performances of “Hit the Wall” and “Here You Come, There You Go,” the latter making its live debut, according to Harper’s Bazaar.
Abrams performed “Hit the Wall,” the lead single from Daughter From Hell, and then introduced her latest release, “Here You Come, There You Go,” in a live performance. Harper’s Bazaar reported that the singer’s stage styling drew on the costume-party scene in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo appears in armor and Juliet wears an angel costume.
For the first performance, Abrams wore armor layered over a 1990s-style Hawaiian shirt, a contemporary take on the film’s Romeo look. For the second, she wore a long white silk dress from Chanel’s 2026 Métiers d’Art collection, paired with angel wings. Harper’s Bazaar reported that the gown took more than 600 hours to make and featured 30,000 glass beads, 2,000 crystals and 33,000 silver sequins.
Abrams also changed into a separate look for the after-party: a white lace maxi dress with fake blood, styled to resemble a vampire costume. The report describes the onstage outfits as references to the film; it does not say the performances recreated scenes from it.
Film References Shape the SNL Set
The costumes gave Abrams’s Halloween appearance a visual theme that linked both performances to a recognizable film scene. That connection also gave her new live performance of “Here You Come, There You Go” a clear setting beyond the song itself, while the armor-and-angel contrast carried the same reference across both looks.
The Chanel gown’s reported construction details show the level of craft behind one of the outfits: more than 600 hours of work and tens of thousands of decorative elements. Those details are relevant to readers following the intersection of live music, fashion and celebrity styling, but they do not establish the cost of the dress or whether it was made specifically for the broadcast.

The Film’s Costume-Party Inspiration
Luhrmann’s 1996 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet set the story in a modern environment while retaining its original language. The film’s costume-party sequence is known for its contrast between Romeo’s prince-like armor and Juliet’s angel costume, the pairing Abrams referenced onstage.
The SNL episode combined that film inspiration with a Halloween broadcast. Abrams was the musical guest, while Inde Navarrette hosted, according to Harper’s Bazaar. The article names the two songs in the set and identifies “Here You Come, There You Go” as the latest release receiving its live debut.
Details Beyond the Costumes
The source report does not provide statements from Abrams, her stylist, Chanel or the SNL production explaining how the looks were chosen. It also does not identify the designer or maker of the armor, confirm whether the Chanel gown was created for the show, or give its price. Those details should not be inferred from the reported collection and embellishment information.
The supplied report gives the episode date as October 31 but does not specify a year. It also does not describe the performances’ staging in detail, so it is unclear whether the film references extended beyond the clothing. The report’s description of the gown’s labor and materials is attributed to Harper’s Bazaar, rather than to a directly quoted statement from Chanel.
The Live Debut and New Release
The immediate next step for readers interested in Abrams’s music is to follow the release and promotion of “Here You Come, There You Go,” which the report says received its live debut on SNL. No further performances, release schedule or upcoming appearances are specified in the source material.
For the fashion story, additional information could clarify who designed the full set of looks and whether the gown was produced for the broadcast or selected from the collection. Until those details are reported, the confirmed account is limited to the outfits and performances described by Harper’s Bazaar.
