Alix Earle Says Cheshire Cat Halloween Costume Will Be ‘Hard to Beat’ (Exclusive)

Alix Earle Says Cheshire Cat Halloween Costume Will Be ‘Hard to Beat’ (Exclusive)

Alix Earle’s Halloween costume is seemingly timeless!

It’s been three days since the social media superstar transformed for her all-out into the Cheshire Cat Alice in Wonderland-themed Halloween partya dedicated costume with full body paint that she can’t quite get out of.

When you speak to PEOPLE exclusively through the red carpet at the 2024 CFDA Awards on Monday, Oct. 28, Earle discussed the current reality she faces in the wake of her fairytale feline transformation — though she admits it may be difficult to “top” the costume in the future.

“I don’t know how we’re going to top the Cheshire Cat, but we’re going to have to,” Earle tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We started the tradition and next year I want to have a party again. I really enjoyed dressing up. I always love Halloween.”

“The Cheshire Cat will be hard to beat and it was very hard to get rid of me,” she continued. “There’s still pink in my ears… it’s been quite a process to get that off, so it could literally still be there next year.”

It’s been less than a week since her elaborate “Mad Forest” Halloween party, and the 23-year-old content creator is already looking forward to her next big celebration: her birthday. She described her “ultimate birthday party” and offered some ideas about how she would like to celebrate it.

“I love a good excuse to throw a good party,” says the Hot mess podcast host tells PEOPLE ahead of her 24th birthday on December 16. “I also like hosting.”

That statement certainly applies to Earle, who is already making party plans three days after hosting the star-studded, spooky soirée at Keys Nightclub in Los Angeles. The invitation-only event attracted A-listers including Nicholas Alexander Chavez, The Kid LAROI and Shay Mitchell.

“I feel like I’ve been so stressed about Halloween that I haven’t thought much about my birthday yet,” Earle admits, adding, “But that’s next on the agenda now that Halloween is checked off my list .”

For what Earle calls her “ultimate birthday party,” she keeps it simple. “Just as long as I’m with my friends,” she says. “I feel like we’re having a good time with my friends.”

Perhaps inspired by her Alice in Wonderland-themed Halloween extravaganza, Earle has a related idea in mind for her birthday. “I really weirdly want to go to Disney,” she reveals.

“I haven’t been to Disney in so long,” Earle continues. “I think Disney would be really fun for a birthday.”

The social media superstar spoke with PEOPLE on the carpet at the 2024 CFDA Awards, a ceremony that honors the top fashion designers, brands and organizations each year. The event was chaired by Chairman Thom Browne and CEO Steven Kolb.

Earle’s look was a complete contrast to her creepy-yet-glamorous Cheshire Cat look she rocked on Halloween. For the fashion party, she wore a purple bandage dress from Herve Leger with subtle cutouts across her midriff to show off small dots of skin.

The creator kept the rest of her look super minimal, opting for silver shoes from Maison Ernest and no bag on the carpet. However, she went for a 2000s vibe with the overall look and added plenty of volume to her blonde hair.

In addition to Earle, other notable attendees include Kylie Jenner, Kelsea Ballerini, Katie Holmes, Suni Lee, Addison Rae and Teyana Taylor. Among the designers in attendance are Christian Siriano, Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Zac Posen.

Erykah Badu, Michael Kors and Daniel Roseberry were among the recipients honored with awards. Presenters included Anna Wintour, Blake Lively, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Molly Ringwald, Storm Reid and Paris Hilton.
