Rita Ora and Taika Waititi did their best impressions of the action movies’ Elena Montero and Zorro when they attended Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun’s Halloween party in West Hollywood on Thursday night.
The 33-year-old singer, who brandished a sword for the occasion, looked stunning in a white corset top and flowing skirt as she channeled Catherine Zeta-Jones’ character from the swashbuckling series.
Rita wore a long black wig and brown boots for her ensemble, with the star adding the final 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 as they posed for some fun snaps before jumping on a mechanical bull at the bash.

Rita was never one to pass up a challenge. Rita lifted her skirts and sat in front of the bull, while the duo still brandished their swords.
At one point, Rita playfully held up her sword to their husband as they recreated the sizzling tension between Catherine and Antonio in the hit 1998 film The Mask Of Zorro.
Catherine, 55, and Antonio, 64, joined forces again for the follow-up film The Legend Of Zorro in 2005.
Rita and Taika were in good company at their friends’ Halloween party as the star-studded guest list included Kaia Gerber, Hailey Bieber, Cara Delevingne and Paris Hilton.
Rita’s fun outing comes after she was confirmed as host of the 2024 MTV European Music Awards, and will reportedly honor beloved late friend and One Direction star Liam Payne, following the singer’s tragic death earlier this month at the age of 31 .
The British singer will host the epic annual awards ceremony for the third time and admits he is ‘over the moon’ with the job.
This year’s EMAs have been eagerly anticipated after being canceled last year due to ‘safety concerns’ – and will take place in Manchester.
The city’s Co-op Live Arena will be home to some of the music industry’s biggest names, with Rita hosting the award for the first three times.

Taika nailed the details of his outfit, including Zorro’s famous hat and mask, as well as black leather gloves, boots and a cape
The couple certainly seemed to be having a good time
The acclaimed songwriter – born in Kosovo – couldn’t contain her excitement, elatedly saying: ‘I’m over the moon to be back with my MTV family as they host the EMAs for the third time!
‘The EMA stage has become a second home to me, and this year’s show in Manchester is going to be absolutely incredible!
‘We have a great line-up with music performances and many surprises in store. We’re all ‘crazy about it!’.”
The acclaimed songwriter was praised by Paramount bosses for her “infectious energy.”

Bruce Gillmer, Paramount’s President and Chief Content Officer of Paramount+, said: “The MTV EMAs are taking over Manchester and we can’t think of a better way to amplify this global music event than by bringing back fan favorite Rita Ora.”
“Rita’s infectious energy and talent are undeniable, and we are absolutely confident she will take the show to new heights for fans around the world.”
The 2024 MTV EMAs will be broadcast live on Sunday, November 10 at 9pm GMT on MTV UK, Channel 5 and Pluto TV around the world and will be available on-demand on Paramount+ from November 12.
Earlier this month, The sun reported that Rita will pay a heartfelt tribute to her dearly departed friend Liam Payne – after she was left devastated by the loss.
The One Direction singer fell from the third floor of the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on Wednesday.
A source claimed the tribute could range from a musical performance of Liam’s hits to a video looking back on his time in showbiz.
It comes as Rita Ora was confirmed as host of the 2024 MTV European Music Awards, and she will reportedly honor beloved late friend and One Direction star Liam Payne.

Narrate The sun: ‘They will start drawing up official plans in the coming days. Officially, Rita has yet to be announced, but she will be hosting this year’s awards and will be involved in whatever MTV decides to do.”
“She and Liam have been close for years and have grown in the industry together. She is clearly devastated by his death.”
