Christina Aguilera rang in Halloween with a nod to one another iconic pop star and former costar.

The “Beautiful” singer posted to her Instagram on Sunday with a video of her costume for the spooky season. She dressed as Tess, Cher’s character from “Burlesque,” in the video that she captioned, “Tess & Ali 4EVER 🤍♾️🤍.” Aguilera starred in the film as Ali alongside Cher back in 2010. For the costume, the musician slipped on a pair of sleek black pumps. Her patent leather-covered shoes featured a sharp, pointed toe and a thin stiletto heel that reached at least 4 inches total.

The “Lady Marmalade” singer paired her pumps with a black leather bodysuit with lots of silver chain and grommet detailing. The piece also featured black belts around the waist and a black leather harness. Aguilera added black fishnet stockings and simple silver hoop earrings as well. Finally, she completed the look with a massive black curly wig that brought the character to life.
