UPDATE: Nina Dobrev’s Halloween costume is making headlines as she seemingly mocks her recent split from Shaun White. Just hours ago, the Vampire Diaries star took to Instagram, unveiling her elaborate “Bride of Chucky” costume, channeling the infamous character Tiffany Valentine, known for her connections to the serial killer doll Chucky.
Dobrev, 36, showcased her spooky look on Friday, October 27, 2025, featuring a striking white dress paired with a black leather jacket and spider web-covered tights. Her transformation included a shoulder-length blond wig with dark roots and a fake tattoo of Chucky’s name over a pierced heart, mirroring the iconic film character. Fans quickly reacted on social media, interpreting her costume as a direct jab at White, 39, whose red hair resembles Chucky’s.
“Glad to see Nina found another one to be Chucky than the redhaired guy who was intended at first.. Savage that she went with it anyway and just had a waaay better costume partner 🔥❤️👏 You go Girl!” commented one Instagram user. Another added, “The layers to how funny and brilliant this costume is are not lost on me. Get ’em, girl!”
The buzz surrounding Dobrev’s costume comes after news broke in September that she and White ended their engagement after five years together. Reports indicate the split was a mutual decision, made “with love and a deep respect for one another,” according to an insider speaking to People. Diverging life goals reportedly contributed to their breakup, with White eager to start a family while Dobrev focused on her career.
Sources also revealed that Dobrev and White’s differing priorities led to tension in their relationship. “He was gearing up to be a father and wanting that life,” the insider stated. “As much as they had the same ideals and wanted to enjoy the same ride, they naturally couldn’t come together on a common goal and that was the strain on their relationship.”
Following the split, Dobrev was seen enjoying a yacht vacation with friends and getting flirty with longtime pal Zac Efron, although she has denied any romantic involvement, stating they are “just friends.”
This latest development in Dobrev’s life is sparking conversations online, with many fans sharing their thoughts on her bold Halloween choice. As the story unfolds, attention remains on the emotional implications of her costume and what it means for her relationship with White.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as fans eagerly await further reactions from both Dobrev and White.
