Dress

During the MTV Video Music Awards back in September, Katseye was seemingly puzzled when asked to name a favorite Mariah Carey music video. Now, the girl group is using the viral red carpet moment as Halloween costume inspiration.

On Tuesday, Katseye shared a video of each member dressing in iconic looks from different eras of Carey’s music videos. “All I Want for Halloween is… Gabriela @billboard, does this answer your question of our favorite @mariahcarey music video?” the group wrote on Instagram.

The video opens with Bowen Yang playing a red carpet host who asks each of the girls what their favorite Carey video is. First up is Daniela, rolling in on rollerblades and channeling Carey’s “Fantasy” look. Next comes Lara, singing along to “Obsessed” and perfectly mirroring the Grammy winner’s outfit. Sophia follows in all-white, evoking the “Honey” era. After her, Manon appears in a wedding gown inspired by “We Belong Together.”

Finally, Yoonchae arrives in a festive Christmas look straight out of “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” as fake snow begins to fall. Megan closes out the lineup, dressed in an outfit channeling Carey’s “Heartbreaker” as Yang calls back to Carey’s alter-ego “Bianca” from the video, reminiscent of the “Gabriela” Katseye sings about in their song of the same name.

After showcasing each era, the girls break into a performance of “Gabriela,” while dressed in Rainbow-inspired outfits.

“This is too cute!” says Carey in a cameo at the end of the video. “This is Katseye!”

An off-camera voice asks: “Do you know them?” (Yes, it’s a J.Lo moment reference.)

“Of course, my daughter loves them. Hello?” Carey replies.

On Instagram, the girls also shared more clips with their outfits, including one in the Rainbow look using audio where someone is asked “What is your message to the gays?” before the girls exclaim: “We love the gays!”

The new Halloween visual comes a few months after the group released their sophomore EP, Beautiful Chaos, which included “Gabriela,” “Gnarly,” and “Mean Girls.” They also dropped a remix of “Gabriela,” featuring Young Miko.

“It’s us stepping into our maturity,” Lara previously told Rolling Stone about the EP. “I feel like this era, we have been a lot more authentically ourselves. I don’t have to put on a facade of any kind when talking to anyone anymore. I think that’s a beautiful thing, and you can see that more within the album. You see more of our fire.”
