MCU Star Dafne Keen Serves a Spooky Vintage Glam Look for Halloween

Dafne Keen has been one of the most talked-about young stars in genre film and TV since her breakout as Laura Kinney, also known as X-23, in James Mangold’s ‘Logan’. She returned to the role for a surprise appearance in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, reuniting the character with Logan and Deadpool in the film’s closing moments.

Since then, Keen has kept busy with projects including the ‘Star Wars’ series ‘The Acolyte’ and the film ‘Whistle’. She’s also expected to appear in Disney+’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’, making her a familiar face for fans of several major franchises.

This Halloween, Keen gave fans something different to talk about. Photos shared on Instagram show the actress in a dramatic costume that mixes vintage glamour with a creepy twist.

In the full-length shot, Keen poses against a pale wall decorated with paper bats. She wears a black-and-white polka-dot dress with a cinched corset waist and a ruffled black hem, paired with sheer polka-dot tights.

A bright red choker adds a pop of color, while dark berry lips and glittering eye makeup complete the look. Her hair is styled in a sleek, vintage-inspired wave. The most striking part of the costume is her eyewear. Keen holds up a pair of round black sunglasses with lenses designed to look like giant buttons, giving the polished outfit an unsettling edge.

A close-up photo shows her lowering the glasses to reveal her shimmering eye makeup. The mix of a pretty retro dress and creepy button lenses makes the look feel both elegant and eerie, a fitting combination for Halloween.

The post quickly gained attention online, gathering tens of thousands of views as fans praised the actress’s glamorous take on spooky season. The Halloween photos come as fans continue to wonder about Keen’s Marvel future. She has said she would love to play Laura again, even if only for a small cameo.

In August, a post on X claimed that Keen was in talks to return as X-23 in Marvel’s upcoming ‘X-Men’ reboot from director Jake Schreier. Nothing has been confirmed, and Keen isn’t part of the announced cast for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.

Speculation grew again in September when Keen canceled a scheduled appearance at Fan Expo Dallas, citing schedule changes. ComicBookMovie noted that some fans linked the cancellation to ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’, which was expected to begin filming in the UK around that time, though there is no confirmation.

Whether or not she returns as X-23, Keen has plenty of work lined up. ComicBookMovie reported that she has several projects in development, including ‘The Marshmallow Experiment’, ‘Night Comes’ and ‘Barracuda’.

With ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ opening on December 18 and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ set for December 2027, Marvel fans will be watching closely for any sign of Laura Kinney’s return. Celebrity Halloween looks this year have ranged from horror icons to beloved movie characters.

Keen’s costume stands out for its polished styling and subtly creepy details. For an actress best known for playing a feral young mutant with claws, the glamorous transformation shows a very different side of her style.
