Rita Ora and Taika Waititi pulled off their best impressions of Elena Montero and Zorro from the action films as they attended Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun's Halloween party in West Hollywood on Thursday night.
The singer, 33, who brandished a sword for the occasion, looked amazing in a white corset top and flowing skirt as she channelled Catherine Zeta-Jones' character from the swashbuckling series.
Rita sported a long black wig and brown boots for her ensemble, with the star adding key finishing touches to her look including a black choker.
Meanwhile, Taika, 49, looked great as he got into character as the masked avenger created by American pulp writer Johnston McCulley.
The couple certainly got into the spirit of things as they posed for a number of fun snaps before hopping onto a mechanical bull at the bash.
