When it comes to creative Halloween costumes, few can match the whimsical charm displayed by Pete Davidson this year. In honor of his daughter Scottie’s first Halloween, the comedian chose to dress her as none other than Tony Soprano, the legendary character from the acclaimed series The Sopranos. Davidson’s choice wasn’t made in isolation; he credited his ex, Elsie Hewitt, for spearheading their Sopranos-themed outfit ensemble.
Team Effort for a Memorable Celebration
During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on November 9, Davidson shared, “We had a great time. And I’ve got to give Elsie credit, she did the whole wardrobe. She crushed it.” This collaborative effort ensured that Scottie was decked out in a fitting costume complete with a bathrobe, gold watch, fake cigar, and slicked-back hair, embodying Tony Soprano perfectly. In addition, Davidson and Hewitt stepped into the shoes of Paulie Walnuts and Christopher Moltisanti, respectively, rounding out their Soprano family representation.
The Inspiration Behind the Costume
So, why did the duo settle on dressing their 10-month-old daughter as the infamous mob boss? Davidson offered a humorous insight into their choice, revealing, “Before she was even born me and Elsie were like, ‘We gotta.’ Because her hair’s gonna grow. She’s got the perfect Tony hair, because she has no hair. It’s the only year we could.” This playful and practical rationale speaks to Davidson’s longstanding enthusiasm for The Sopranos while also showcasing the endearing bond between him and Hewitt as they navigate parenthood.
