Keke Palmer Wins Halloween, Turning Baby Leo Into Michael Jackson for an Iconic ‘Scream’ Tribute

Keke Palmer just won Halloween. On Oct. 28, 2026, the star shared a stunning black-and-white photo carousel recreating Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson’s iconic 1995 “Scream” music video — and she brought the cutest co-star along for the ride.

Keke stepped into Janet’s role, while her young son Leo, who co-authored the post, transformed into Michael. Dressed in matching spiky black tops and shiny black pants, the mother-son duo served pose after pose straight out of the legendary video.
