Rita Ora and Taika Waititi pulled off their best action movie Elena Montero and Zorro impressions while attending 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 incredible in a white corset 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, and the star added key finishing touches to her look, including a black choker.
Meanwhile, Taika, 49, looked great as he took on the character of the masked avenger created by American pulp writer Johnston McCulley.
The couple certainly got into the spirit of things as they posed for several fun photos before riding a mechanical bull at the party.

Rita, never one to pass up a challenge, hiked up her skirts and sat in front of the bull, with the duo still waving their swords.
At one point, Rita playfully raised her sword at her husband as they recreated the sizzling tension between Catherine and Antonio in the 1998 hit film The Mask of Zorro.
Catherine, 55, and Antonio, 64, joined forces once again for the sequel to 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.

The city’s Co-op Live Arena will be home to some of the biggest names in the music industry, with Rita being the award’s first three-time presenter.
Rita wore a long black wig and brown boots for her ensemble, and the star added key finishing touches to her look, including a black choker.
Taika nailed the details with his outfit, as it included Zorro’s famous hat and mask, as well as black leather gloves, boots, and a cape.
The couple certainly seemed to be having a great time in character.
The acclaimed songwriter, who was born in Kosovo, couldn’t contain her excitement and said excitedly: ‘I’m thrilled to be back with my MTV family as hosts of the EMAs for the third time!
‘The EMA stage has become another home for me, and this year’s show in Manchester is going to be absolutely incredible!
‘We have an incredible program of musical performances and many surprises in store. We’re all ‘crazy about it!’

Bruce Gillmer, President of Paramount and Chief Content Officer of Paramount+: “The MTV EMAs are taking over Manchester and we can’t think of a better way to increase the size of this global music event than by bringing back fan favorite, “Rita Pray.”
“Rita’s infectious energy and talent are undeniable, and we are absolutely confident that she will elevate the show to new levels for fans around the world.”
The MTV EMA 2024 will air live at 9pm GMT on Sunday 10 November on MTV UK, Channel 5 and Pluto TV worldwide and will be available on-demand on Paramount+ from 12 November.

The One Direction singer fell 45 feet from the third floor to the patio of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires this Wednesday.
A source claimed the tribute could range from a musical performance of Liam’s hits to a video reminiscing about his time in show business.
