Gracie Abrams Goes From Juliet to Romeo During ‘SNL’ Halloween Performances

The singer performed "Hit the Wall" and "Here You Come, There You Go" in costumes lifted from Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film.

Gracie Abrams turned her Saturday Night Live return into a two-part costume change, dressing as both leads from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet across her performances on the show’s Halloween episode Saturday (Oct. 31).

For her first song, “Hit the Wall” from her third album Daughter from Hell, Abrams wore Claire Danes’ angel costume from the 1996 film and opened the performance from behind an aquarium, a nod to the movie’s fish-tank meeting scene. She returned later in the episode for “Here You Come, There You Go,” a track from the album’s deluxe edition, in Leonardo DiCaprio’s Hawaiian shirt paired with the metal sleeves from his knight’s armor.
