Jon is still trying to process the fact Halloween is a holiday where people dress into costumes for fun (and dance, and spin a bottle, and many other activities he hasn't really figured out). Holidays in Westeros are few and far between. The seasons are too unpredictable for that.
His expression softens at her offer. It's clear he appreciates it. "No, I... tried. Think they like that part." They like it being personal. They like calling him 'your grace' because he bristles afterward. If he didn't care, it would be different.
But it's more difficult than ever to come to grips with being king in the North when he also has to come to grips with how he let them down. "You being an angel must be new." If she didn't even think of that when choosing her costume out... (she'd mentioned she didn't know what it meant yet herself but he hadn't realized how new it was).
He didn't intend on point out how unintentionally personal the costume is. He was just defensive on her behalf before he realized she'd picked it herself.
